In this quote, Frankl is explaining that people should not seek what they want from life but, on the other hand, endeavor to find the goal that life has in store for them. By seeking the meaning of life, we overlook what life desires from us. Instead of searching for the meaning of life

, we should be awaiting the questions that life has for us in order to fulfill it’s design for us. The point of life is not the answers that we seek from life to find meaning, it is the questions from life that we ourselves must answer to uncover that meaning, every hour of the day and every day of our lives. It is the responsibility of the ones that understand this meaning to teach the “despairing men” that do not understand. We must take their attitudes, their wrong perceptions of how to seek the meaning of life, and change that so they may find the truth, that life dictates what questions we answer, that we do not ask the questions of life.

After realizing all this, I started to change my life around. I decided that I wanted to do music and make music a part of my life. Music makes me happy and I would enjoy my life if I could involve music into my everyday life. In making this decision, I moved out to California all by myself because I knew that Colorado was not the ideal place to be in order for me to do music. I enrolled in school and set high goals once again and feel really good in doing so. I am willing to give it everything I have so that I may excel in school again. I just want to study hard, receive good grades so I can transfer into UCLA. I believe that if I can do all as planned, I will live a happy life and be successful. Since I have realized that life cannot and will not answer any of my questions, I am going to answer the questions that life asks of me. The first question life asked me was what I wanted of it. I have answered that. That life goal is music. The second question that life asked of me was how am I going to accomplish this goal. I have answered that too by moving out here, giving up what I know, the comforts of my old life to come to California and start anew. Now, I am taking my life step by step striving to find an answer to the next question that life throws at me. That question I do not know but I will be ready to answer when the time comes.

I wanted to know what I had done so utterly and completely wrong that all these horrible things happened to me. I hated my life, wishing daily that I could have lived a different one. I was confident that I could and would have been successful if I lived a different lif
