My philosophy towards living at any particular time, dictates the approach I take to anything I do in my life journey. It took such a long time and many years of pain, mistakes and at last dare I say…wisdom? My mentors were so right. They predicted this is what I will find out for myself. As my philosophy alters course, so too will my life direction. And it has numerous times. But as my experience expands, there will be experiences that make up my philosophy which I will hold near and dear. Nothing will sway me away from those. We’ve all met and known people, even children who sticks to their guns no matter what. It that stubbornness or simply the philosophy they live by? Give some thought to your own as we explore this ancient idea a little.
Developing Your Philosophy
Master Confucius A Master Of Philosophy
It is the approach to life that matters most of all. It matters not if you’ve gone to school and got a degree on philosophy. Most doctorates are classified as PhD of this engineering or business that degree. Not that I’m belittling any of these. I’ve done the same schooling thing myself. But in real life, away from the safety of books and imaginary confines of society being pigeon holed within books, life will slap you in face to get your attention the hard way if you allow it.
Therefore in my approach to life, I am always developing myself, my pursuits to be ever better performing according to the advancements in sciences, technology, governments and what have you. Which way did your philosophy develop as a guide to your lifestyle?
I’m sick and tired of being slapped in the face every which way I turned. Aren’t you? Let’s reflect a little in times gone past. Perhaps, as a teen you were subject to many new things society can throw at you. You were thrown around and slapped all over by some bullies. Even teachers were part of this unfeeling and shameless show. Did you roll over and die or find through begging, stealing, borrowing or simply creating new ones, ideas that started to overcome these hurdles? You’re here reading this. Maybe you didn’t come away unscathed, but you’ve developed a way to cope or even defeat those miscreants!
Finding Wisdom
Typically, we do not ever search for wisdom but it is wisdom that finds us. That’s the way of nature. As we search for answers to the problems we all face from time to time, it is the experiences, or as nature wills, it, the experiments in which we must work at. Experiments allow us to observe and pick out what works and redirects us toward a new idea. Put another way, we keep trying and failing until the perfected solution is found. Then as similar problems surface, they are often solved by the same solution. These are sometimes known by a series of ‘rules of thumbs’ or heuristics.
Now, these solutions were not necessarily found by super geniuses but by truly dogged personalities. They wanted things to get done. So, children with these personalities are either known as smarty-pants, stubborn or geniuses. As adults, our general society has normally put that determination out of your psyches. But those who do as a lifestyle are easily found by their over achieving ways. They are the super success stories of history. They are now known the wise ones are they not?
What’s Your Philosophy Toward Living?
There are many teachers in this world now whose works accessible because of the numerous books and the internet. Their knowledge should be made accessible for all for all time, even from the time of basic schooling. These wise ones have lived through their periods of severe trials and given us the truth in which to live our lives within the philosophies of our choosing. Then, and only then can anyone choose the lifestyle to approach our lives with.
Imagine if a new billionaire was created in a country which reigns through toughness, was simply one who uses bribes and cash incentives. This guy will likely never be respected nor even remain a billionaire for long. But someone who has risen through the ranks and has as his philosophy to develop the mindset to be able to make lots of money by the billions again and again, he’ll likely remain so.
You can choose to either have the personal mastery of anything you wish to become as your wisdom dictates or live the life of a mediocre bum. It may seem like an easy choice. But think about it for a few seconds and you’ll find that putting in the effort to feel like the champion of your endeavour is far better than to be stepped on by any and all who decides they can.
