My philosophy about life... I have several...
1. That when you meet someone for the first time, you cannot assume that they are coming from the same level of spiritual, emotional, intellectual, or social development as you are, and you shouldn't judge people too harshly.
2. The best way to be happy "right now", is to be content with the things you have in your life (money, things, job, people), and not be overly concerned about things you don't have.
3. No matter how badly you think your life is "right now", on earth there is always, always someone else with a life that is far worse and living in misery (physical, emotional, financial, social) than where you sit at this moment today.
4. Life is a gift, everyone makes a choice about how they want to live their lives, it's not because of what "someone else did to you" that you live the way you do today, you always have a choice to make a better life for yourself. Life is always on your own terms, you can live it or waste it.
5. Be very careful about "who" you allow into your "personal" circle, because every person's life you allow into your own will affect your spiritual and emotional development. There really is something to "6 degrees of separation", keep that in mind when you meet people.
6. You may meet someone by chance, or have a spontaneous experience, but remember that everything really does happen for a reason. It's for your intellectual, spiritual, and emotional growth
7. The ultimate mystery of life is death. Nobody comes back to tell us how it is on "the other side", so live each day to the best of your ability and you won't be disappointed or caught by surprise when your number is up.

What goes around comes around. If not in this life, then in the next. Don't do unto others what you don't want done to yourself. The greatest truth that I know of is as much as we think we know, we really don't. As prudent as we think we are, we really aren't. But that makes self. To have knowledge and wisdom for certain things to what the next lacks. And it is also applied to you and me. To a different understanding. A different comprehension for the different views on the world. Different reasons. Some true and some false. But all true because it exists. Whether it is right or wrong. I guess that is the path that you can decide for yourself or have it chosen for you. Those are your choices. Destiny or fate. But aren't they the same thing with just a different view. If you decide your fate, isn't it the same as deciding your destiny. Either way in the long run, it will still "BE". My philosophy about life is to just give thought. The best escape from reality is to enjoy your own thought. And be at peace with yourself.

I have three actually:
1) Everything that happens, happens for a reason (everything is preplanned - it's called destiny)
2) You come into this world empty handed, and you will leave empty handed - what you will be able to take is love and memories only..material possesions are nothing
3) It doesnt matter what colour you are or if you are buried or cremated: because at the end of the day, we will all be soil, dust and earth - all integrated into one

1. Breath
2.Be compassionate both with yourself and others.
3.Laugh - allot.
4.Tolerance goes a long way; you don't have to like it; be the "hero".
5.Awareness and recognition that "LOVE" is much more than physical. It is the only emotion that is universal 'truth'.
6.Humility and courage as partners will take you far and steady you in those most challenging moments.
7.Your connection to your God is most precious - nurture this connection.
It's a journey of your making - enjoy!

life is what you make it. If you want fun have it, if you want to have a night in do it. Take care you the assets you have one day they might shrink or head down south. Remember that you have lots of eqantencs but very few friends, hang on to the good ones, they will always be there for you. Make time for family.
some thoughts of my own! But enjoy your life!

Life is chaos. Some things will go your way, some things won't. It does make the day go by faster if you have a good attitude but ultimately one must come to the realization that life isn't fair.

Strive to become the greatest, but strive softly.
Search for happiness, for not many others will search for you.
Find someone through which you may obtain joy and love and happiness, for man was not meant to live life alone.
Life is a game; your points deplete or remain the same if you do not strive to heighten it.

Life is about experiences, not accomplishments or end results.
If you think about it...experience is everything. You and I could watch the same pro sports game, but come away with a very different experience. Experience gives one his or her identity and makes us individuals. It always gives us purpose, for if we were each the very same, what would that do to our humanity.
In the end, accomplishments mean little but to those who remember them. Our experiences, however, make us human.

"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. Its got ups and downs, goes round and round, it is very loud and very brightly colored and its fun...for a while. Some people have gotten off the ride and come back to tell us 'don't worry, don't be afraid, its just a ride, there is no death and there is no hell, its just a ride' and we kill those people. (Gruff voice) 'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Look at my bank account, look at my family. This has to be real'. Its just a ride." Thats Bill Hicks and I completely agree!
