Where there is a Why

On this second day of Hanukkah I have found great meaning in a proverb taught to me by my mentor years ago.”If you have a “why” ,you will always find a “how.I have found constant energy and inspiration from these words. Often when I focused on the “why” there was no immediate path to achievement but almost without exception the “how” surfaced. An example of this was my desire to write a novel about the Holocaust.The why was centered on many factors that had been taught to me by my friend and teacher Viktor Frankl.The development of why something has value enables us to muster the will and resources that lead to the goals that make life fulfilling.Searching for the value of that which we desire often promotes the necessary behavior that makes the issues more than a passing fancy.
