Philosopher

Philosophy can be defined as a ‘way of thinking’. We are all Philosophers as we all think. Philosophers share their experience and wisdom to help others combat the challenges in life. To be a Philosopher you have to be brave and have a big enough ego to think you can help other people with your great wisdom and help them improve their quality of life. This only works if the Philosopher is living a great life itself, so to  stand as an example. I don’t believe you learn Philosophy from a book, you learn it based on the decisions and actions you make in life, intertwined with what you can clean from others. Personal Philosophy and therefore advancement, is individual and never the same for 2 people. It’s a pickamix of lessons learnt.

It wasn’t until I read Jordan Peterson’s ‘Twelve Rules for Life’, that I realised what a Philosopher I was. I certainly have the experience and ego, and over the years have adopted my own rules or tricks to get through life and raise myself above the noise of the maddening crowd.  So I am going to share with you my own Philosophies that have helped me live a full, rewarding and incredible life, with many years yet to come. These are my 12 rules for life. They may not all be for you, but they work for me. Feel free to use and abuse them.
