PHILOSUB

Submitted by ub on

Every one of us chooses our paths in life and therefore what works for me may not always work for her, him, or it. or whoever.

Please allow me to articulate a personal reflection on life’s philosophy, pulling from diverse schools of thought and philosophical traditions. It’s powerful how we can blend the timeless teachings of figures like Aristotle, Camus, and Nietzsche with the personal conviction to chart our path, especially in the face of modern distractions and societal pressures.

I trust the idea that each person must find their path resonates strongly. Whether it’s the pursuit of eudaimonia, the embrace of freedom and choice, or a commitment to living authentically and with purpose—there’s no single blueprint. My focus is personal autonomy, my ventures in building start-ups, and the emphasis on helping women are the expressions of my philosophy. I’ve made the conscious decision to live with a clear sense of meaning and self-determination.

My mention of stoic resilience alongside the joy of Epicurus and Sartre's call for authenticity brings an interesting mix of perspectives. Stoicism helps maintain composure and virtue in adversity, while Epicureanism invites us to find happiness in life’s simple pleasures. Sartre’s existentialism, with its emphasis on freedom and the burden of choice, offers a reminder to confront life's absurdity with clarity.

Do we live by a philosophy we’ve consciously chosen? It’s easy to drift with the currents of public opinion or societal expectations, but stepping back and evaluating whether our beliefs are truly our own is a profound and liberating exercise.

My approach to filtering out the noise of social media and distractions is needed in today’s world. With so many competing voices, finding a personal philosophy that serves as a mental compass seems like an antidote to the chaos of modern life.

 

According to published reports, Aristotle's virtue ethics promotes character excellence and the pursuit of eudaimonia. Buddhism emphasizes mindfulness and living in the present moment for a fulfilled life.  Existentialism advocates for authenticity and personal meaning through freedom of choice. Eclecticism allows the combining of elements from various philosophies to create a personal life philosophy.

Frankly, my dear, I don’t shive a git what others think of me because my chosen path is to continue building start-ups and turning projects around, while helping mankind and especially women.

Camus’ embrace of the absurd, Sartre’s demand for authenticity, Nietzsche’s call to self-overcoming, and existentialism urge us to own our existence.

The best philosophy for life is the stoic resilience of Marcus Aurelius, the simple joys of Epicurus, and the freedom and authenticity of Sartre.

Aristotle championed virtue and excellence, Confucius emphasized social harmony, and existentialists urge creating our meaning in an indifferent universe. But in an age of constant distraction and uncertainty, I navigate life without getting lost in the noise of social media and public opinions.

I rely on my moral compass, which helps me make decisions, set priorities, and find fulfillment. Whether we realize it or not, we live by beliefs that shape us all. The real question isn’t whether we have a philosophy but is it the one we have consciously chosen. And so it goes.
