Ideas and philosophies are important for a happy life.
While life is happening, you respond with your ideas and principles.
There are a few key philosophies that run the show – like what you are capable of, worthy of, and expect. Your why. How much work you will put in to get what you want.
There are some philosophies that aren’t going to work – like comparing to others, expecting perfection from others, seeking ease and comfort as a habit, using the news as your school, and not being an adult learner.
Here are some of my philosophies –
If anyone can do it, I can too.
I can do anything, but not everything. I have to choose.
Everything takes more time than I think and costs more than I thought. I am not surprised and keep going to see it through.
I finish what I start. I don’t quit.
Disorganization and mess are bad, neat and organized is good.
I don’t waste – things, materials or money.
Every day counts. I never waste a day.
Loyalty between people is sacred.
I want to live my personal mission statement – an extraordinary life of shared experiences.
Take five minutes and write down some of your philosophies. Then read them back. And remember, you made them, you can sub them out or change them.
Great philosophies!
Excellent post and wisdom in this
Here are a couple of mine.
One from my father, one I read but all are good to keep in mind….
Trust everyone but count your change.
Freedom in life is inversely proportional to the number of internal combustion engines your own
Everything you own, owns you back.
Good comments, I love these quotes.
