Philosophy of Life
editSome have asked, How did you do it? It's this. Philosophy for Everyday Life. What I ask myself?
- Someone gave me a third chance at life, what am I going to do with it?
- Did I do what I really wanted or did I "give in"?
- What did I learn from that experience/person? What did they learn from me?
- Going to work is only 30% of my time, What did I do with the rest?
- What is the sum of my live?
- Exercise? It's OK that I swim 1200 meters in 30 mins 3-4 times a week What really matters; How I swim the 1200 meters in 30 mins 3-4 times a week
- 'Rules to live by'.
45 is the NEW 35! Be nice to everyone until it's time not too be nice too some! Never let bad/mean people into your life. Their not worth the pain they cause. Retirement? What's that? Time to Kick It Into "Chinese OVERDRIVE" and "Go For It"
Twist a little harder and life comes at you a little faster! Shooting? Riding? Shopping? There is alway time for all three!
