“Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, WE ARE ALWAYS FREE TO CHOOSE OUR THOUGHTS!”

It said to me, ‘I am here — I am here — I am life, eternal life.’

The more one forgives himself – by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love – the more human he is and the more he actualizes himself.

Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself.

It is this spiritual freedom – which cannot be taken away – that makes life meaningful and purposeful.

Man’s search for meaning is the chief motivation of his life.

View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn’t? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn’t

The quest for meaning is the key to mental health and human flourishing

It is the pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life.

Having been is also a kind of being, and perhaps the surest kind.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Each of us carries a unique spark of the divine, and each of us is also an inseparable part of the web of life.

But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.

Most important, however, is the third avenue to meaning in life: even the helpless victim of a hopeless situation, facing a fate he cannot change, may rise above himself, may grow beyond himself, and by so doing change himself. He may turn a personal tragedy into a triumph.

This is the core of the human spirit … If we can find something to live for – if we can find some meaning to put at the center of our lives – even the worst kind of suffering becomes bearable.

When we are not any lengthier capable to alter a predicament, we’re challenged to alter ourselves

All the different nations in the world, despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life, still have one thing in common, and that is what’s inside of all of us.

Despite the great advantages of digital video and the great ease of using the medium, still those who use it have first to understand the sensitivities of how to best use the medium.

Despite all of your mistakes, I stayed – and that was mine.

Life wasn’t always easy to live but you are here despite it all.

Walking away from someone that you believe you love, despite them being an unhealthy match for you, is one of the hardest things to do.

Our greatest human freedom is that, despite whatever our physical situation is in life, we are always free to choose our thoughts.

Despite the distance that separates us, we are not limited by borders. We are one global Armenian nation together.

Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles
