Life Philosophies Of Sam
Do what you can with what you got.
Everyone is in a different situation in life. Whether it’s good or bad; it’s always different, but that doesn’t mean anyone in a difficult spot should stop trying. Whatever life throws at you; you’ve got to do what you can with it. Relating back to the picture; we always hear “When life gives you lemons; make lemonade.” That exemplifies this life philosophy in a really nice way and it can, and should be used in life.
Fake it till you make it!
This philosophy signifies how sometimes in life you just gotta fake it until you make it. As an introverted person I don’t really enjoy being outgoing, or super talkative during conversations; it’s sometimes hard for introverts like me to even raise their hands in class when a teacher asks a question. That’s why I believe you have to fake it till you make it because if you fake having confidence for long enough then you will eventually gain more confidence in yourself.
Remove toxicity.
This philosophy means that you should always be wary of who you are hanging out with. Anyone who keeps you going, who keeps telling you what to work on and tries to help you improve, who doesn’t talk behind your back, and is a person who actually enjoys your company and vice versa are the people you should surround yourself with. It may be difficult for some people to push away the people who are unhealthy in their lives because they may feel like they need them or that they don’t have anyone else. But as I have tried to portray through my picture is that a negative person can slowly affect you and once you reach that threshold then you will burst and then you will have a big mess that could take a long time to clean up. So it is better to fix the issue before it gets out of hand and remove the negative influences.
Focus on what you enjoy!
Focusing on what you enjoy is a very simple philosophy. If you really enjoy doing it or if you want to do something but are too afraid to try it; do it. You never really know if you’ll enjoy it and you might find out that you’re really good at something. When you do things that you really love to do then dopamine is released in the brain which is what makes you feel happy. Most people I know like being happy, so they always take time to enjoy doing what they love to do.
Always try to be a better you!
Always trying to be a better you is my last philosophy and is also my narrative. I always try to be better than I was the day before because if I was having a bad day then it is not fair to other people in my life to have the bad feelings projected on to them. So I try to always be a positive person to whoever I talk to. Always trying to be a better you is also good for yourself because who wouldn’t want to be the best version of themselves? My narrative is one that is still being written, as high school goes on by I have tried to slowly gain more confidence and I always try to leave nice first impressions on people. I have heard from a few people that they used to think I was intimidating just from how I’d look, but then after they get to know me they say I’m actually a really nice person. Now a days I’m seeing that people are finding it a lot easier to come up and talk to me and that’s because I am always trying to be the best person I can be, for myself and for the people around me. I am projecting more bright feelings and I have changed my general demeanor to a much more positive one by changing who I talk to and hang out with along with what I do for myself.
