Personal Philosophy
Making a personal philosophy is somewhat hard because you have to thoroughly examine your life as a whole to determine what part was good and what was bad. I need to improve on the right things and to work on changing the bad areas to a more positive one. My personal philosophy is to live a successful, wealthy, and happy life without any remorse or regrets. I want to help whenever I can and I want to give whenever I can also.

We didnt come into this world from our mothers womb already programmed with manual and other necessary skills on how to deal with life and its meaning. How we perceive and handle things in world around us is based on upon what we had learned and experience throughout our life from infancy, childhood, adolescence, and final as full grown adults. I learned that whatever map I used as a child might not work so well right now because as a child all that you needed was to learn, watch, and listen. If someone wronged you just kept inside, but as an adult I cant do that. In order for me to fully mature and live a happy successful life I need to face the truth and handle everyday challenges accordingly. If not it will haunts me and make me an unhappy person as I keep running away from my problems and little it all build up until I break down. I have to adapt new maps or myth to suit my present needs and create new ones later for the future.

I need keep trying to see the world without seeing it with my eyes. Everything is subjective when it is based on what we know and what we can see or feel. By limiting myself to these sensory perceptions of things I cant be able to progress or find a meaningful way of life. Life is without a doubt is very hard, but I can learn how to adjust and adapt to make it easier by learning from other peoples examples or through trial and errors. Everyone that had ever existed in my life has affected me in either a good or bad way or both. I learned to pick and choose what is best from and not make mistakes that someone has alright made. History will repeats itself if youre ignorant to the facts. I will learn to listen more and used my reasoning help guide my life decisions.

I just dont understand the fact that for some people it takes a god to make them do good deeds. This makes me wonder how many bad people there in world that is only doing good deeds under false pretenses. Im not a religious man but I am a moral man. I believe that it doesnt take a deity for you to be good and do righteous things for others. I dont like how Philip Yancey stated any moral system set forth by non-believer is completely arbitrary since it has no higher authority as its foundation. That statement alone made me laugh because to me its apparent that they need the approval of a higher being to do good deeds or else it isnt worth it to help the needy. We as adults should know the differences between whats right and wrong. I believe in doing good deeds because it makes me happy to do so and I dont need a supernatural excuse to do so.

I teach myself to relax more and be more open minded to everything. I will learn how to relax through breathing exercises and meditation, which is great skill that can be learned by anyone

with the time to do so. Meditating allow us to de-stress and let go of everything around you so that you can have peaceful moment to recharge your mind or to solve a problem without the craziness in your life interrupting. Ever notice that when youre in a stressing situation that your breathing always are short and fast, but if one can diffuse this by take a moment to take big breaths that will provide oxygen to your brains so that you can relax and not have an anxiety attack.

My personal life philosophy pretty much involves in taking care of my family and friends. I need to open minded to listen to their problems and be able to help them out. I have to learn how to relax better so that I can take a hold of the situation with a clear head. I also believe in doing good deeds and helping out charities while being more selfless toward other, so that I can have a more meaningful life that I can be proud of. My goal is to be successful, wealthy, and happy while at the same time I want to be able to help the needy with my wealth, teach others of my success, and watch others have a meaningful and happy life!
