How to know yourself-6: Personal Philosophy

What kind of philosophy do I believe in as an individual and why did I adopt this philosophy in my life?

When I have seen this question the first time, I was frozen and thought: ‘ ups, I have no certain philosophy in my life. After some time, I saw that I have some but it has been a long time since I adopted it and it is hard to trace back. What were my values, why did I certain decisions, and how and why I end up where I am?

Going back like Benjamin Button is a good strategy to figure out who you are. Our decisions, personality, character, and life are highly influenced by our surroundings. Most of the time, we are unaware of that and we cannot see the source of the problem because we have gotten used to being dragged by the wind. It means our life is running ahead of our true wishes. That is the main reason why we should analyze our path. To learn, take lessons, and see where we are.

Why did I adopt this?

It is important to know why. If you know it, you will also see how you are changing, how your ideas and perspective are changing, or maybe how it is the same. This will give you a big chance to evaluate yourself objectively if you are doing well or not.

well, what is your life philosophy?
