 Philosophy of life will be different between each person. A person’s philosophy
will vary depending on one’s life experience. I believe that no two people will have seen
life in the same way. There would be many people that have similar philosophy on life
but none of them would be exactly the same. I will share my ideas and thoughts on what
is my philosophy of life. The way have experience life has made me change my way
thinking more than once, am sure it will change again. My way of thinking on life is that
you should live while you are alive and you should give others that equivalent benefit.
We shouldn't pass judgment on individuals for the decisions they settle on, in light of the
fact that we as a whole settle on awful choices. You ought to do what you need with
your life, as long as it makes you cheerful and makes no mischief others. Satisfaction is
everything we can seek after in this world and we need to endeavor to accomplish it.
We should help individuals when we can and thoughtfully acknowledge disappointments
when we need to.
The major questions that causes this question is a sense of wonder of who I am,
what is my purpose, and where am I going. When asked your name, you say it. And you
have arrived at this because it is your name, you know it, and identify with this. There is
a difference between your persona and personality. And character formation differs.
These are all gradual and in a sense acquired unawares until some asks you who you
are, you give them your name, and expose yourself. You are always an “I“. But what
goes into it is both nature and nurture. Temperament and its importance cannot be
overestimated. You get a real sense of self when you ask “But really who am “I” Your
entire purpose in life is to conduct yourself in a virtuous manner, hence you will find
happiness, and reach your final end, which is God. The “I“ is an awesome mystery. We
all have a philosophy of life and it has been said we are all metaphysicians which is
true. I think philosophy is important for two main reasons. It can help improve critical
thinking skills and it’s a good way to know certain things. Even so, much more can be
said especially considering each specific thing philosophy can teach us. Many things it
can teach us are important for various other reasons.
Happiness begins from the moment you do something for others. The individuals
who reliably help other people, are cheerful, and don't run over any hindrances in their
lives. Exploration demonstrates that they are less pushed and experience improved
psychological wellness. The purpose of life is to serve others. Be that as it may, while
doing as such, you ought not to anticipate something consequently; your aim ought to
be to reduce others' hopelessness. "Administration to others ought to be earnest and
done from the heart; at exactly that point it is productive." Do any trees eat their own
organic product? No. This instructs us that individuals ought not just utilize their psyche,
body and discourse for themselves, yet additionally to serve others. At the point when
you do this, nature thusly will compensate you. Your consistent internal goal ought to be
towards helping other people. On the off chance that you can't do as such in any
capacity whatsoever, you can likewise ensure that you don't hurt anybody. This is a
backhanded method to help people around you.
There are many personal characteristics that can affect a person as an individual
and his professional success, namely openness, ability to learn and adapt. These
personal characteristics can sometimes make a person successful and sometimes
doesn’t. Most people want to be happy. But they also want to be successful. And, while
each person might have an individualized definition of just what each of those things
means to them specifically, the overall desire to lead a life that’s free of stress, worry,
anxiety and fear, while being replete with happiness and success, is constant. Still,
although we might want to be happy and successful in life, that’s often far from the
case. Usually, we spend more of our time steeped in negative emotions than we do in
the positive ones. From our relationships, to our finances, our careers, our health, and
our goals, we often can’t seem to overcome the stress associated with everyday
concerns. In order to become successful, it can be very important to have the right
mindset for success.
For me in order to become successful and happy in life you must have or you
must need to practice to have a Self-discipline, discipline is one of the most critical
success traits, especially if your definition of success involves owning your own
business or working on your own terms. As soon as you’re on your own, you’ll find that
lots of self-discipline is necessary if you want to stay on track to realize your goals. Self-
belief, you need to believe in yourself. This is one of the single most important traits for
realizing success in anything. Believing in yourself doesn’t mean you’re perfect or
without flaws, but rather, that you know your worth and believe in your capability. And
lastly you must have Passion in life, passion is critical to both happiness and success.
In fact, it can hit two birds with one stone by being the focus of your professional
success, making a living doing what you love. However, regardless, you need to follow
your passion as that will give your life a sense of meaning and, without it, I’d argue you
can never truly realize any measure of success.
Take time to educate yourself and become qualified. Never assume that you
learn as much. In this global economy, those wishing to succeed must have the
necessary tools to be successful, and that includes having an education. Do not let the
past define who you are; you define who you are. No matter what your background is.
You can break through any barriers if you just follow these steps. Never forget where
you're coming from. Many people, after achieving some success, bad-mouth where they
come from. This is a sure recipe for failure in the future as the same ones you talk badly
about now can be the ones who rescue you in the long run.
