Accelerate High Leverage Leadership for Today's World
Suzanne and Dwight Frindt
In Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl wrote: The prisoner who had lost faith in the future—his future—was doomed. With his loss of belief in the future, he also lost his spiritual hold; he let himself decline and became subject to mental and physical decay . . . Those who know how close the connection is between the state of mind of a man—his courage and hope, or lack of them—and the state of immunity of his body will understand that the sudden loss of hope and courage can have a deadly effect . . . Any attempt at fighting the camp’s [pathological] influence on the prisoner by [therapeutic] methods had to aim at giving him inner strength by pointing out to him a future goal to which he could look forward. Instinctively some of the prisoners attempted to find one on their own. It is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in the most difficult moments of his existence.
Be Your Future Self Now
Benjamin P. Hardy
Nové situace mohou rozdmýchat staré obavy, budoucí pocit nedostatečnosti by mohl probudit dávno zapomenutou nejistotu.
Čím více si uvědomujeme své obavy a čím více o nich mluvíme, tím více chápeme, jak vlastně působí, a tím snáze se jich dokážeme zbavit, až se vynoří příště. Je to jako hra „bum do krtka“, ve které můžeme zvítězit.
