Personal Philosophy : Understanding Your Personal Inner World

Have you ever looked at yourself saying, "I hate my life"? I wanted to be happy. I longed to be  one of the happiest person in the world. But I also, desired meaning in my life. I started searching for answers to some of my questions:Who am I? Why in the world am I here? And where am I going? I also wanted to be free because my whole life I was captive with fears. Freedom to me was not just doing what I want to do, but

We all sit and wonder what’s the meaning of life. People can research and write novels about the topic, but we will never understand the real meaning until people experience life for themselves-until people feel like they’re experiencing the beauty of life. Every person has their own ideas of their needs, wants, and desires. But people don’t know what their needs, wants, or desires unless they go and discover what they love. Everyone has their own ways to share their views on the meaning of life-everyone is unique. If people walk around a shopping mall and ask each person what they believe the meaning of life is, this topic would receive different answers and views from each person. The answer from many people would be “just to live a happy life,” but is that all people have to say about the meaning of life?

To follow a life of success, happiness, and fulfillment will always begin by observing ourselves, from finding inner peace, figuring out your purpose, and pursuing it through hard work with the passion to commit in to our goal that will shape up our life. Without persistence and hard work it is impossible to succeed. A life without direction could lead to a path of uncertainty and without contentment. Also a life without inner peace is a life without true happiness. To follow a life of success, happiness, and fulfillment will always begin by observing ourselves, from finding inner peace, figuring out your purpose, and pursuing it through hard work with the passion to commit in to our goal that will shape up our life. Without persistence

We would be embracing a carefree attitude; goals drives us to work and take action. They keep us busy. This is demonstrated in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho when the crystal merchant loses sight of his goal to visit Mecca leaving him on a endless journey. According to novel “The crystal merchant awoke with the day,and felt the same anxiety that he felt every morning. He has been in the same place for thirty years: a shop at the top of a hilly street where few customers passed.’’ (pg. 47) This proves that the crystal merchant lives a repetitive life therefore without a destination or a goal you’ll live a meaningless life. Additionally,we also this idea in another place in the novel where it states ”i don't want to change anything, because i don’t know how to deal with change. I don’t want anything in life.” (pg.47) This illustrates that the crystal merchant has no will to do anything. He is embracing an anything goes attitude. These quotes show the effects of having no destination or no goals to motivate

| The search for meaning and purpose in life is an important aspect of life. According to this psychologist, people are always striving to meet their needs.

The pursuit of happiness is an endless journey that we all experience during our lifetime. This search for satisfaction in life is made up of actions and choices that we make to benefit our lives for the better, even if done subconsciously. Many people try to end this lifelong journey short by reaching a practically unachievable “true happiness”, and some even get so caught up in trying to reach this ultimate fulfillment in life, that they begin to forget about the great things currently in their lives because they spend so much time and energy focusing on what they want rather than what they have. Life is about enjoying living in the moment, because it only happens once.

The Purpose of Life Is there a greater meaning to life than just the everyday norm? Babies are conceived everyday and after growing old, they pass away quotidian, in that short seeming time, what are their life’s purpose? In literature, characters often go through adventures to achieve a goal, and after accomplishing their objective, they also achieve happiness along with it. Happiness is something which is not thought out about a lot, but it is a major deciding factor of the quality of our lives. The state of being happy is usually the result of something; forexample, if a person is with their family and are having a good time then they tend.

"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life." -Omar Khayyam. The center of one's life and the ultimate life goal should be the desire to be happy. Although in some cases creating something meaningful does bring happiness to a person's life, the sole purpose is to live for your own happiness and no one else's. Life's decisions should only be based upon the desire to make one's self happy. In the end, you only get one life so why live it for someone else? Everybody's idea of what happiness and what being happy consists of will be different. There are many factors that determine how a person will go about achieving true happiness.

We as humans love to think of ideas and plans that we will never actually follow through with. Humans get bored of their ideas really quickly when things don’t work out right away. Creating and preparing for the new idea is the part that we enjoy the most. Imagining the success of something is almost all one needs to be content with the idea that they will probably never undertake. Some prepare completely and then never follow through with their work for fear of never finding the “right” time to start. Those who wish and only dream about achieving something remain ignorant and never understand the value of hard work. The only worthwhile gain is in actual experience and in just trying even if one fails. When the hard work starts, people give up and are

A personal worldview holds ministering Jesus to the dark dying world as a result; I believe its truth to establish the flawless word of the almighty God. Besides that, the word of God has convictions, and values which are the foundation of all things, observed and unobserved. In consequence of the fact, that in the beginning was the word, triggers a dominant conviction, “and the word were with God and the word was God, nothing was created without it”. In addition, in life experience, as a Christian, represents recognition of the work of complete salvation has made significant impact on population in the name of Christ. At this level, Christ is the center on how we should live our life as practicing in giving, Bible study, and worships expressing

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on Earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” For me personally, Jefferson could not be more correct. If I were to allow the world to invade my mind with its waves of fighting armies, pursuing me with negativity, hate, and the sense of defeat, until my death, then I would not be capable of accomplishing anything of value in this life. Everything I would do would be meaningless and of no purpose, leaving me unsatisfied and thirsting for more. That is also why I am not allowing myself to set “goals” in this life. Sure, there are things I want to accomplish in my time I was given to roam the Earth,

We all have things that makes us ourselves and something worth living for. If we find something we have a purpose to live for but, we don’t know how to obtain it, due to lack of work-ethic, this can lead to serious darkness. Creating a frustrated life that could lead to depression and beyond. I myself know that I was made to make people feel good about themselves and find a purpose to continue pushing on through all the hard times they go through. I know that I was meant to help others achieve their goals and this is what makes me get up and continue pursuing my dreams. If my parents were to give me everything I wanted in life, I for one, probably wouldn’t give a damn about others and two, wouldn’t know how to pursue and work for my own dreams, let alone help others achieve their

Life without purpose is like a journey without a definite destination. To live without purpose is to accept life as “drifting water”. The goal is something that helps us live and walk on the road. Once we lose our goal, we lose our way, we become restless and anxious. Have you ever noticed that you're just so happy to be doing something, not when you've done it? Therefore,

You can not have religion without faith. George W. Forell states that "faith is universal," (Forell 1). By this Forell is saying that everyone has some sort of belief, they believe in something or somebody. Forell is not limiting this belief to God, or gods for that matter, he simply means that all humans believe in something- money, or education, or the general goodness of mankind. Forell goes on to also describe Christian faith; "Classical Protestantism asserts that God wants fellowship with man and that if we trust completely in Jesus Christ and his work we will have communion with God. This complete and utter trust in Jesus Christ is faith," (Forell 19). I tend to side with George W. Forell and his explanation of Christian faith.

Aristotle once quoted that “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.” Granted, times have changed since 322 BC, but this general, basic idea can still be observed and studied in our modern times. Considering Aristotle is also one of the greatest thinkers in the history of western science and philosophy, this statement could easily be widely accepted, and could certainly provide substance for thought as to what the purpose of existence really is. In agreement to Aristotle, happiness is what makes a life worth living, and it is measured by refraining from materialism and feeling inspired by our coexisting society.
