Betake yourself to Philosophy


Betake yours to Philosophy - to live by foresight than impulse

Seneca - Letters from a Stoic


Seneca says :

If you want to be safe, untroubled, happy ,fine and most importantly free, undertake philosophy -


What is philosophy ?

Philosophy is a life led by design, forethought and conduct.

you may be called effeminate, lacking courage, strength , whatever - forever living with ideas of philosophy - but do not get deceived!


Wisdom is language of God - to live aligned with "HIM" , NATURE

it is the only steady path - 

for life out of sync with Philosophy - is purely a life of impulse - 

Philosophy is a life of forethought and design


Philosophy helps you march ahead even if slowly

A life lived otherwise - is not moving forwards - rather - you are caught in a whirlpool of events - like the driftwood in the stream - being sloshed and tossed -hither and thither 


and you end up asking yourself -

"how did i get into this situation? "

Oh Man! , I know the Answer  : you relied more on Impulse, Instinct and melodrama(reaction )rather than Wisdom, Forethought and Response


A life need to lived by design rather than default

Seneca

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
