Do you have a philosophy that you live by?

[KayDoubleU]

A lot of people have a life motto or philosophy that governs everything they do. It usually dictates their moral compass for everyday decisions. I know some have a few philosophies depending on the situation.

Do you have any beliefs/mottos/philosophies that you live by? Do they work well for you? Do any of them contradict one another?

I believe in things like karma and it does make conscious of the things I do and say.

"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, take a bath."

Just a modified line from my favorite poem, Don't Quit.

[KayDoubleU]

I can appreciate that, nothing makes me feel better than a bathe or nap.

[LukeBelgrave]

Mine is " DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO YOU "

[LukeBelgrave]

Linzz I thought my motto was good but I`m going to start using yours instead

[Drowzzy]

I like to think that there is nothing that governs me. I mean I have my own way of not getting affected by the decisions of the government, don't believe in the social ethics, don't believe in the generally accepted norms of right and wrong. But at the end of the day, when something is happening against someone's wishes, I'm bound to interfere, no matter what my beliefs may be. I may believe in myself, but I respect the beliefs of others' as well. I may be selfish, but that selfishness probably includes the entirety of the living world.
