Lesson 2: The Self: Philosophical Perspective

Direction: Identify and Expound on a specific philosophy relating to the understanding of the “self” as
you analyze the following statements;

1. Asserting that things happen for a reason.

The well-known Greek Philosopher Aristotle, believed that everything happens for a reason,
always. And that every experience in your life, was designed to shape you and reform you into
the ultimate and greatest version, that could ever imagine yourself to be. Every experience in
your life is designed to shape you and help you grow into the highest and mightiest version of
yourself. With that being said, we can perceive every negative experience as an opportunity for
growth, rather than time for suffering.

2. Stating that what others see is exactly what they get.

3. Believing that things can be done if you want to.

4. Saying that indecisiveness is a result of a conflict from within.

5. Reaffirming that we learn exactly form our experience.
