What's Your Life Philosophy?

So, being new to blogging, this is all shiny and buzzing and exciting for me. Going through my (really) old diary I found the entry below. Although I haven't given it a second thought in years, it appears I do live by the principles now.
On 30 June 1994(!), I wrote:
"This will be my life philosophy:
1. In life, there is always a choice; even in an imposed environment. We just have to look for the avenues.
2. Never give yourself a chance to regret. Seize each and every opportunity.
3. Always ask: Is the price worth paying? Get out when it's too high."
It would be fascinating to see what others' life philosophies are.

I prescribe to Dudeism
"The idea is this: Life is short and complicated and nobody knows what to do about it. So don't do anything about it. Just take it easy, man. Stop worrying so much whether you'll make it into the finals. Kick back with some friends and some oat soda and whether you roll strikes or gutters, do your best to be true to yourself and others - that is to say, abide."-
LOL @ dudeism!! -
Jay, Wow. I never heard of dudeism before today. Sometimes I am a dudette.

I don't really have a set philosophy. But a combination of "Live and let live" and "Smell the roses" is a close approximation. -
I follow the principles set forth by DiA (derek is awesome).
basically, live how you want, and believe what you want. Live life. Have fun. Of course, if you don't believe in this, then that's also fine, because followers of DiA, are all capable of accepting others for what they believe in. -
I just go with the flow.
I wonder if that's the same as dudeism? -
Do unto others as I would have them do unto myself.
Also - to be ME - no matter what the cost.
AND last but most important - TRY TO SEE EVERYONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
To remain logical at all times.-
"Do unto others as I would have them do unto myself."
I have a rule a little like this one, only mine says, "love thy neighbor AS thyself." Key difference: sometimes you have to be hard on someone, and giving someone ease may be the worse thing you could do to them. Also, sometimes the worse thing you can do to others is not stand up for someone who is being hurt by someone else. Further, there is also the matter of dignity and respect, something that "do unto" doesn't really address, and the matter of self-love.

Inspire and motivate others and live your life with purpose. No looking back, always forward! -
Be grateful for all blessings in your life, use what you have to the best of your ability, and never sink to evil behavior but lend yourself the dignity of principle.

Strong lives are determined by dynamic purposes. -
Do what your heart tells you to do, it will neither hurt you nor others as heart is what connects us with everything around us is the philosophy of my life and I always listen to this inner voice, the feeling in my heart in every situation of my life. -
Live and learn... -
Chance favors the prepared mind..
*does this qualify as a Philosophy?-
No, only part of one.

-
Do unto others twice as bad as they did unto you. -
Mind your business, live simply, and don't take anything too seriously.
-
My life philosophy is: Take advantage of others, expose their weaknesses, and crush them like the ants they are. Climb to the top. Step on as many faces as you have to and then... become a philanthropist, donate to the poor, and be hailed as a saint.-

In the end, you make up for all the pain you've caused people by giving back twice as much. It all evens out.

So.... you're Andrew Carnegie?

Live every mundane day until you die and once you die live the perfect life. -
Shit happens, then you die. -
Boycott reality.-
Have you ever considered that we all live in different realities?
-
-
Never let anyone put their fingers in you, you're not a glove (Obviously this is a life philosophy for males only......or frigid women.) -
Change is the ONLY constant, the only thing you can count on...
and chance favors the bold. -
I have two:
-- it isn't always about what happens, it's about how we handle what happens.
-- humor gives life color, it's important to see the humor in each day. -
My philosophy, is that God ( or the God Principle) lives in all things.
-
Hear, hear! There is just way too much intelligence invested in every minute detail. Scientists are still trying to understand why leaves change their colors in the fall. Ha!

Life is too vast to be watered down to one explanation. Life means different things at different times. Life changes every second. There isn't one philosophy of life, there is one for every second of every single living organisms existence.

This is not my life philosophy, because I do not have one,( except life is beautiful if this can be considered as a philosophy), but an important precept for me:
One of our greatest weakness is possession, so keep away from this, because the more you possess, the more you need, and the more you fear to loose, and the less you are willing to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. -
Don't worry; be happy; soon, everything will change. -
Do not look upon kindness as a weakness. Rather see it for the great strength of character it builds. Be kind and everything will be right. Pass this along.
I heard a sermon today that tells us to be what you were intended to be. RIse to the occasion and bloom into the spectacular person you really are. To be uplifting to others, one must first lift themselves up and into a higher conscientiousness.
