Nietzsche: "He, who has a Why to live, can bear with almost any How."
"Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl.
Frankl used this Nietzsche quote to explain to us that when we can no longer change our circumstances, we are challenged to change ourselves.

Mark Pollock: "And trying to make sense of what was going on. Am I Optimist, Realist or Something Else?"
Mark Pollock: "I am inspired by the stoic philosophers. How do you resolve the tension between acceptance and hope? History is filled with the kinds of the impossible made possible through human endeavor."
