Self Philosophy Development
Hey all,
One thing that I greatly admire about some of the Christians in my life is how they are able to use their faith as a touchstone and an anchor. For various reasons, I don't have any desire to follow a pre-prescribed faith but I find that I am looking for that same "deep well" to draw from. A definition of core principles and guiding standards. I'd like to define these for myself, to help in making hard decisions, provide solace, etc. Only, it's such a vague concept that I'm having a hard time envisioning what it should be--practically speaking. And in determining what sorts of things belong vs don't.
What would you consider the fundamentals of a life philosophy? Are these things you have defined for yourself? Cobbled together? Do you look directly to one specific faith? Any thoughts, comments, advice? It's all very fuzzy for me at this point.
Thanks!
