Well it has been awhile.  I have been reading Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl. I do believe in what he says and I will share with you some of his quotes: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” 
― Viktor E. FranklMan's Search for Meaning

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.” 
― Viktor E. FranklMan's Search for Meaning

“Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.” 
― Viktor E. FranklMan's Search for Meaning

“Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation.” 
― Viktor E. Frankl


“In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” 
― Viktor E. FranklMan's Search for Meaning

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.” 
― Viktor E. Frankl
