 philosophies for the heart, soul, and mind

I love reading great philosophies about how to live life to the fullest, enjoying each sip from the nectar of life.  I have combined some of my favorites for your reading pleasure.  My personal philosophy in life comes from the last line in my favorite poem Ulysses:  “To strive, to seek, to find, and not the yield”.  My interpretation is to strive for love, seek knowledge, find happiness, and yield not to fear.    

  • Dance like no one is watching, Love like you have never been hurt, Spend like you didn’t earn the money, and don’t take life too seriously: No one gets out alive, anyways.  
  • Fear nothing, never quit, never give up, never surrender, and always speak your mind even when your voice trembles.  A life lived in fear is a life half lived; because man should never fear death but man should fear never having lived. 
  • Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find “tomorrow” on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow: This is it. Doomsday, All you have. 
  • Nothing happens by chance, so don’t chance anything; make it happen now.  Don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.  
  • Circumstance don’t make a hero, they just reveal him.    Man is not the creature of circumstances,
    circumstances are the creatures of men.  
     
  • Laugh at yourself, life, and everything around you. Laugh as a remedy and a miracle drug that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective seemingly terrible defeats and worries in life. 
  • It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. Remember that you have only one life to live so make the best of it. Be whoever and whatever you’d like to be. Pursue your passions and your dreams.
  • Don’t waste time suffering.  It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. 
  • Throw caution to the wind in pursuit of pleasure, because if it hurts, then it’s probably worth it
  • Always lie to cops… LOL Just kidding…
