Before we go any further... go ahead and connect with me on Twitter ****** Website ****** Facebook ****** Powerful real motivational story of a man in a Nazi camp Through his amazingly inspirational journey, I want to emphasis a very important point … that we human beings always have the power of choice, the power to choose our attitude and mindset even in the most inhuman conditions. It is the story of a man whose identity was reduced to just a number. It is the story of a man from whom even the brutal, dehumanizing Nazi regime could not take away …the last of the human freedoms—the freedom to choose one’s attitude. Not my words but his “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” It is a very powerful thought on power of choice, power of mindset but it becomes extremely powerful because it was his mindset while he was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. This man was Viktor Frankl. He was a happy boy surrounded by loving parents, brother and a sister, looking at a life of unlimited potential, unaware of the evil which was about to destroy the lives of millions of people more specifically Jews. Life was good till one evil man decided that not every human being was created equal and unleashed unimaginable horror and degradation towards anyone who did not fit in his idea of a Super race. In Hitler’s Germany not everyone was born equal, in Hitler’s Germany not every human being was considered human. In such a scenario where even a slightest of mistake could result in most painful death, do you know what this young psychiatrist did?? He, Viktor Frankl made a choice, a choice which put his life in considerable danger and gave false diagnoses to save lives of his patients because in Nazi Germany people with mental and physical disability had no right to live. In 1939 He got his visa for USA, which could have saved him from the Nazi concentration camps. But the visa was just for him. Again, he had to make a choice, a choice which I hope none of us have to ever make in our life…. His freedom and maybe his life versus his loyalty towards his family and possibility of a horrible death. He chose to decline the visa and enter the camps with his parents and his wife. He again exercised his freedom to choose and chose love. He believed that “The salvation of man is through love and in love.” Do you know where these lines were written??? Frankl wrote the following lines while being marched to forced labour in a concentration camp. He spent four years in Nazi concentration camps facing some of the most inhuman treatment in the modern history. Except for his sister, He lost his wife, mother, father, his only brother and brother’s entire family in holocaust. After enduring the suffering in these camps, Frankl could have become bitter and filled with hatred. Instead he concluded that even in the most absurd, painful, and dehumanized situation, life has potential meaning and that, therefore, even suffering is meaningful. He wrote “Man’s search for meaning” a very powerful book His conclusion served as a basis for his theory called logotherapy Even the sadistic Nazi regime not take away his freedom of choice… choice to choose his own mindset and attitude in the harshest of conditions. I hope when next we are tempted to complain about the circumstances in our life and make it an excuse to not live our life to its fullest potential, make it an excuse for not being happy, for giving up… we remember this amazing inspirational man Viktor Frankl who …. From being reduced to the horror of being just a number, emerged as a mega human who could find meaning in life amidst death.

In Today's video, I am going to share a real motivational, inspirational story of a man who lived in the death camp of Auschwitz. Through his amazingly inspirational journey, I want to emphasis a very important point … that we human beings always have the power of choice, the power to choose our attitude and mindset even in the most inhuman conditions. It is the story of a man whose identity was reduced to just a number. It is the story of a man from whom even the brutal, dehumanizing Nazi regime could not take away …the last of the human freedoms—the freedom to choose one’s attitude.

This man was Viktor Frankl. He was a happy boy surrounded by loving parents, brother and a sister, looking at a life of unlimited potential, unaware of the evil which was about to destroy the lives of millions of people more specifically Jews. He grew up to become a brilliant Neurologist and psychiatrist. Like any other young man fell in love and got married. He was living a life, a simple, peaceful happy life with its little pleasures and pain, the kind of life which is the birth right of every human being. Life was good till one evil man decided that not every human being was created equal and unleashed unimaginable horror and degradation towards anyone who did not fit in his idea of a Super race. In Hitler’s Germany not everyone was born equal, in Hitler’s Germany not every human being was considered human.

He spent four years in Nazi concentration camps facing some of the most inhuman treatment in the modern history. Except for his sister, He lost his wife, mother, father, his only brother and brother’s entire family in holocaust. No one, not even God would have blamed him if he had given up on life but do you know what he did… He organized a unit to help camp newcomers to overcome shock and grief and later he also set up a suicide watch. Man,” Frankl wrote, “determines himself whether he gives in to conditions or stands up to them. Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become in the next moment.” After enduring the suffering in these camps, Frankl could have become bitter and filled with hatred. Instead he concluded that even in the most absurd, painful, and dehumanized situation, life has potential meaning and that, therefore, even suffering is meaningful. He wrote “Man’s search for meaning” a very powerful book which I recommend to anyone who is searching for a purpose, meaning and happiness in life. He said, Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose His conclusion served as a basis for his theory called logotherapy, which according to the American Journal of Psychiatry’s has been “the most significant thinking since Freud and Adler,” Once he was freed for the camp, He dedicated his life to helping people get psychological healing. Frankl published 39 books, which were translated into as many as 40 languages. He got 29 honorary doctorates, 21 distinguished honors and awards. Even the sadistic Nazi regime not take away his freedom of choice… choice to choose his own mindset and attitude in the harshest of conditions. I hope when next we are tempted to complain about the circumstances in our life and make it an excuse to not live our life to its fullest potential, make it an excuse for not being happy, for giving up… we remember this amazing inspirational man, Viktor Frankl who …. From being reduced to the horror of being just a number, emerged as a mega human who could find meaning in life amidst death.
