Life+Philosophy

= Your Life's Purpose = Keep it simple, elaborate, or be as cryptic as you like, but choose a quote or saying that you feel best reflects a philosophy you hold important in your personal creed. Write a personal explanation in your journal as to why this is your chosen motto and where you see opportunities to practice this in your life.Think hard about life's most important question and consider some of these perspectives:

//Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.// Martin Luther King

//I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately triumph than triumph in a cause that will ultimately fail.// Woodrow Wilson

//It is not death that man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.// Marcus Aurelius (year 150 AD)

//And in the end, it's not the years in our life that counts. It's the life you put into those years.// Abe Lincoln

//The opposite of love is not hate; it is indifference.// //The opposite of art is not ugliness; it is indifference.// //The opposite of faith is not heresy; it is indifference.// //The opposite of life is not death; it is indifference.// Elie Wiesel

//Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.// Helen Keller

//In our lives, everything has been figured out. Everything except how to live.// Jean Paul Sartre- author of "The Wall"

//We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.// Winston Churchill

//It's better to burn out than to fade away.// Neil Young (also the last line in Kirk Cobain's suicide letter...ironic??)
