Victor Frankl in his classic - 'Man's Search for Meaning' says that he survived various Nazi concentration camps unlike his mother, father and wife. Frankl thus hypothesizes that under terrifying conditions some prisoners acted like ' Swines' whilst others behaved like 'saints'. Man has both potentials within him...the one he actualized depends on his decisions he takes, not on conditions he faces.  The decisions that you take to chose from options available to you in your life situations is absolutely yours. Your success is an absolute outcome of the choices you make. Freedom does not lie 'outside' you anywhere like with a boss or a strong friend or in a positive culture, a different job, or a stronger brand to work for etc says Jackie Freiberg. Your choice is established - 'inside out'.
