Or, a paraphrase from FrankL:
A person who has a "WHY" to live, can bear with almost any "HOW"
Really like the Frankl quote. A friend who retired a few years ago told me he was "having a little trouble with the meaning piece" of life. I didn't understand at the time but looking ahead to my own retirement in a few years, it's suddenly clear. Cycling provides a good physical challenge, but we all need something more meaningful.
