Have you ever thought about what your life’s philosophy is? Do you have one defined? Putting your approach into philosophical terms may seem unnecessary, too elementary or just an academic exercise. Yet, I believe it is an indispensable way to make better choices and lead a more inspired life. To focus on developing a personal philosophy, start by considering that the essential philosophical elements of life are centered on beliefs, concepts or ideas, and attitudes. Simply asked, what is your approach to living your life?
Starting by thinking through this question, I believe, will enable you to begin to define your personal philosophy. Don’t feel you have to reinvent the wheel. Start by keeping it simple (use plain statements). Make it memorable. Most importantly, make it a personal philosophy that you can live with, live in, and live up to each day. Our lives are filled with a constant stream of choices, so let’s make the best ones possible.
