Recently, I came to the realization that life is about the journey, and that if I only focus on the destination, then I will never truly be content because I’ll always be longing for something more. This is the new life philosophy I’ve been attempting to put into practice as of late.
However, I’m a goal-oriented human being. Quite frankly, I get a thrill out of setting a goal and creating a multi-colored, 12-step, neatly planned out path to get there. That’s just who I am…
So, I decided I needed to discover my own philosophy. Something that combines these two schools of thought into one life-altering way of thinking. My mind races and worries far too much for the complacency of the journey, but I am cognizant of the dangers of never appreciating life’s voyages.
However, my post really isn’t to tell you what I discovered or what my plan is. It’s to encourage you to create your own philosophy. There are a lot of extremely wise, experienced individuals in this world who can offer the greatest of advice. Take it in, by all means, but use it to help you create your own way of thinking as opposed to just using it to be your way of thinking.
We’re all on a case-by-case basis. You know your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and expectations. Learn from people, books, lyrics, etc., and use such knowledge to formulate ideas that best suite YOU! Give yourself credit, and allow yourself to do so. Know that ultimately it is you that provides the best course of action for your life.
Be proud of yourself!
