Many of us have an outlook for how we think our life might
go and how we want things to happen. But it’s much rarer to have a philosophy
guiding one’s actions regardless of circumstances. And because life never plays
out the way we expect, living our lives with just an outlook and mere
expectations leaves us in a constant state of reaction. We get tossed to and
fro by the constant shifting of circumstances and events outside of our
control.
However, living in accordance to a philosophy grounds us. A
deeply rooted belief system is like an anchor, keeping us from drifting along
the currents of circumstance. It gives us something to act on rather than react
to. It guides our steps and behavior despite circumstances, allowing us to rise
above and see beyond current events.
Armed with only an outlook and expectations, you will likely
drift aimlessly. You can never react your way to where you desire to be.
