What’s your philosophy of life?

Yesterday we talked about planning your legacy.
Today we’re going to talk about your life’s philosophy.
Philosophy? I don’t have one, you might say.
Sure you do. It’s based on what people and life have taught you.
What if you knew you could do anything without fear of failure?
What if you could tackle any project, knowing you would succeed?
That would be fantastic, wouldn’t it?
Not me, you say. That couldn't happen to someone like me.
Why not? I challenge you. Think big. Dare yourself.
Those who dare to be great don’t just luck into it.
What is it that they do that others fail to do?
Eric Foreman — yes, the fictional Eric Foreman — said:
"Life is a train. You can start running when you see it coming.
"Or you can pull up a chair, open a drink and wait for it to hit you."
After a Grand Canyon visit, my 23-word philosophy became:
"We can stand timidly at the rim or grab a parachute and plunge in.
"I’d rather take my chances and plunge right in"
It’s time to write your own personal philosophy. I dare you.
It can be shorter than 23 words. Or it can be 100 pages long.
Send me what you write. Keep it short and we'll blog it.
Tomorrow, we’ll take a break for a cool summer recipe.
