Those who have a why to live, can bear with almost any… — Viktor Frankl | Printable Wall Art

“Those who have a why to live, can bear with almost any how.”

Words by Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) — Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, author of Man's Search for Meaning.

About this quote

Having a clear purpose or reason for being gives a person the inner strength required to endure severe hardships. When you know what you are enduring suffering for, whether it is a loved one, a goal, or a deeply held duty, the practical difficulties become manageable. Meaning turns struggle into something you can survive and overcome.

While philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche originally wrote this line, Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl cited it in his 1946 memoir Man's Search for Meaning to describe how inmates survived Nazi concentration camps through psychological purpose.
