Your personal
philosophy comes in two ways. It comes from your experience and other people’s
experience. Your philosophy starts when you grow up. When you’re a child your
philosophy is shaped by your parents. What they think and believe is instilled in
you at an early age. There are many ways that can go. On the good side if you
are taught the philosophy of hard work and doing your best that will shape you
as you get older. However, if the philosophy is just trying to get by and
blaming other people for your problems then you could go in another direction
based on that philosophy.
Your philosophy is
as simple as walking around the block instead of watching television, or
reading a book instead of going to happy hour. Each one of those is a different
philosophy. To find out why you are where you are just look at your philosophy.
What were the decisions you made based on it? Take a long look back and see.
You may not like what you find.
The first way to
develop your own personal philosophy is by your habits. Good habits bring good
things and of course bad habits bring bad things. Yes it’s that simple. If you
develop the habit of working hard and putting in a good days work every day
then you can expect your income to increase and promotions to follow. If your
habit is to do just enough and complain about pay then you will struggle to
make ends meet.
Any person that doesn't do something because
they don’t get paid enough will always make that amount of money because of
their philosophy. Your philosophy leads you. If you are struggling right now
and don’t feel your life is going anywhere then you need to examine your
philosophy. What do you need to change? What do you need to read? Who can you
talk to? These are just a few ways that can help you in changing your
philosophy if the one you have is leading you down the wrong road.
Many people play
the blame game. Don’t let this be you. Instead of refining their philosophy to
initiate life change they blame taxes, the government, their friends, their
boss, and their family. It’s always someone else’s fault except theirs. These
people do not take responsibility for their lives. They go nowhere because they
refuse to change their philosophy and do it on their own. The people who blame
others also want to wait on someone to come by and push them. What happens if they
don’t show up?
You can’t wait for
someone else. You have to do it on your own. If you take the time to improve
your philosophy you will see life change begin immediately. As you continue to
change your philosophy it will give you a new level of confidence and get you
going in the right direction.
