I thought I'd share with you some of the bits of philosophy that I hold dear. Some of them started out as lines from books or movies and were certainly not intended to become part of anyone's lifeview, but I'm a scavenger and a thief when it comes to ideas - I take what I need from whatever sources present themselves. Actually, that's recycling, right? So it's all good.
I'll just list them here to begin with, but I plan to expand and expound on them one at a time over the next few weeks.
-There is no one, true way
-Change is always possible
-Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you
-Pay attention
-A life lived in fear is a life half-lived
-Good manners are a way of showing respect for others, not a way to feel superior
-What you say reflects and shapes what you think
-My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great; You have no power over me
-Energy is never lost, it simply changes form
-There are some things that aren't our job; they might not even be our business
As with all human beings, I'm not fully living up to all of my goals and beliefs at all times, but it's important to have them anyway.
