a philosophy of your very own
Want to try out a philosophy for yourself? Not sure which ones are for you? Well, peruse this collection of living philosophies and value systems, and see what you think. Try them on for size and choose for yourself which ones fit you best. Collect them all! Trade them with friends! Stick them in your bicycle spokes so that you make that fun whirring noise as you pedal down the street! Or just sit and think about them when you are wondering what to do with yourself.
your philosophy options include...
The most important things in life are:
- taking care of myself - staying alive and keeping myself reasonably healthy.
- being a part of a tight knit group of people who take care of each other in this messy world we live in, and protect each other from things that might harm us.
- being successful and strong, standing up for what I believe in, and being brave enough to do whatever it takes to do what needs to be done.
- being a good, moral, decent person, who does important work for my family, community, and/or company.
- being a thoughtful, intelligent, capable, and productive person who is able to learn new skills and contribute new ideas to the world.
- being a creative and unique individual who respects others' rights to choose their own paths in life, even if those paths are different from my own.
- being aware of the big picture and the interrelatedness of everything, and using this knowledge to address global problems and make the world a better place.
- being aware of how my own beliefs, biases, and baggage affect others, and looking for ways to be the best person I can be, so that I can be as effective as possible in helping the world become a better place.
- being present and alive and loving, and completely open to, and fascinated by, all possibilities!
