 * PHILOSOPHY BRAINSTORMING:**// Who am I? //// What do I believe about life, truth, my future? //// What do I believe is my purpose? //// How does the way I live and approach life reflect who I am and what I value? //

Life as we know it in today's world is extremely political and completely eliminates the simple reaction of emotion that us human beings should be allowed to produce. In an effort to express our feelings, one often will be criticized or demoralized by the local bully or even his own parents. As a result, we often tend to strive to be like the proclaimed people glorified through the media and lose the traits the make us "us". What most of us don't understand is that those movie stars or athletes who are generating large amounts of revenue are simply being themselves. They are simply just living life. In today's age, the simple concept of just living is complicated into what is the "cool" thing to do, what is the "status quo", and what can I do to be liked more. As one processes these overly analyzed questions through his brain, there really should be no answer or, for that matter, any thinking developing at all. According to the great words of William Shakespeare, "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another." Just live life the way you know how to live it and everything will be good.

What extraordinary spiritual freedom and peace such simplification can bring. We who could choose simplicity, choose complication freedom to succeed Almost every man wastes part of his life in attempts to display qualities which he does not possess  No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character Every time you don't follow your inner, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power A sense of spiritual deadness.
