Develop a Philosophy

January 31st PHILOSOPHY AS MEDICINE OF THE SOUL 

“Don’t return to philosophy as a task-master, but as patients seek out relief in a treatment of sore eyes, or a dressing for a burn, or from an ointment. Regarding it this way, you’ll obey reason without putting it on display and rest easy in its care.” - MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 5.9 (from The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations"

Philosophy literally translates from the Greek, "love of wisdom." Develop a philosophy - consider its impact on you and others. 

Many of you are young, so your philosophy may evolve over time. Still, think about a temporary or provisional philosophy, guidelines for now. 

Nobody can fully know what resonates with you.

"Become the best version of myself."

"Make my community the best it can be."

"Seek balance in all things."

"Treat others as I would want to be treated." 

"Help others to make a difference."

There's only a right answer for you. And at the end of the day, take a moment to review whether you stayed true to your philosophy.
