Philosophies+of+Life

=Philosophies of Life=



A life philosophy is the most important part of your training because it is not just what you do, but how you do it, and why you do it. Life philosophy is the keystone to your success. Finding your own life philosophy is important because without one you are lost. The most influential people have a very strict set of rules they live by. They can find peace in the solid guidelines they have set that keep them out of error and protect themselves and others from themselves.

These are just a few examples of life philosophies that many live by. Some of the most common philosophies are religions. This is not to say that there are or are not a god or gods these are beliefs (true of not) that fill the same roles as philosophy. These are ways of living that answer the universal questions of being, morals, and method. Specific ways of living and reasons for it. Pick ten people out of the crowd and you will have ten different Philosophies of life. Pick ten people out of the same church and you will have ten variations of the same life philosophy. Learning about yourself is very important in the process of advancement. To really streamline your life you must have an understanding of who you are to complete and be complete in this great undertaking.

Some people take an entire lifetime trying to find out who they are. What that means. What place they belong in. The sooner you can answer those questions the wider your advantages over others are. Please do not jump at every interesting philosophy below. Try them on, experiment, over time and through experience you will know. Each philosophy changes the second you enter it. We bring something of ourselves to the style of living so pay attention to the differences you feel when you are learning about a way of life. Often those are important differences.

Now as you look for your own way of living remember that these philosophies are like a sword form. Select one that compliments your weaknesses and makes you effective in your personal pursuits. Yoda mastered Ataru because the acrobatics made up for his height, strength, and great age. Mace Windu created Vaapad as an answer to the darkness within himself turning it into a weapon of light. Anakin used Djem-so to release his powerful emotions. Both Darth bane and Qui-gon Jinn used Ataru to take advantage of their great size and strength and Darth bane also used Djem-so in this way. In a different manner Count Dooku used Makashi because elegance, tact, and maneuver were natural to him and it befit his noble heritage which he never forgot as a Jedi. Darth Maul used Juyo to channel his passionate hatred and anger, and modified it to allow for more martial aspects such as kicks and punches to shine through. He also brought a staff-saber into the form.

These are all excellent examples of modifications, and strength-to weakness selections for wise people (albeit fictional ones). Pay attention to what each path has to offer you and which ones appeal to you most. Never make a commitment to one of them specifically until you are sure. If you are really worried whether or not this one is right, wait a month, are you still sure?

Listed below are several philosophies for you to brows. Feel free to look further or look at specific people you admire and their life philosophies and personal modifications.
