Preamble…

This book is an offshoot of my original project, Challenge Your Challenges. I revamped this project and conceptualised "Life is a Philosophy."

There are numerous challenges that distract us from achieving our purpose and / or our goals. Different facets of our lifestyle call for different reasons to achieving specific goals. There must be a purpose as to WHY we are do what we are do and goals we are aiming to achieve. In doing so there are challenges which are so powerful that it can derail you, either partially or totally. It is thus so important that we maintain strong focus and discipline to enable us to challenge our challenges.

We generally encounter even greater distractions in those more challenging tasks that we aim to accomplish.

In speaking to people, I have come to the understanding that many individuals don’t analyse the direction their life is heading in, and they tend to undertake certain tasks or a venture for that matter but have not figured out their purpose. There must be a purpose as to why we do certain things. We end up not analysing what we do, so we often become trapped within a limiting belief that takes one in circles.

Review what you are doing and question whether it is sure to achieve your desired goal. You will discover that over and above your own individual uniqueness, you do have the ability like everybody else around you to utilise your thoughts, intentions, beliefs and actions to create and sustain your own reality.

Therefore, your aim should be to unlock your mental blocks, internal challenges, and limiting beliefs to develop a renewed sense of energy and enthusiasm.

With this book, my aim is to assist you take stock of your life and discover your unique vision, so that you can harmonise and balance your life for it to become richer and meaningful. LIFE IS A PHILOSOPHY., aims to help you clearly realise your purpose so that you can achieve specific goals that you set for yourself, and to live a better life.

Life is a philosophy.

What is philosophy? Philosophy is a concept or attitude that is a guiding principle for behaviour.

Over the years, I have encountered many individuals (as we all often do). What surprises me (or should I be surprised) is the varying world views that different individuals hold. Some are happy to talk to you and other are happily ready to debate on various points. Either way it’s important that we hold healthy discussions with one another.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose. Life is a philosophy as a chapter in this book examines a selection of responses from various people whom I have spoken to about this topic.

Live life on your own terms. I have often believed that this statement is made very much tongue-in-cheek to emphasise a point. But what does living life on your own terms really mean? Living life on your own terms implies living a life of purpose whereby you possess the flexibility and freedom to carry out what is important to YOU. Living a
