My Philosophies on Life

I have a few basic philosophies on life! They help me live the way that I want to and they help to make me happy! Here I'm just going to list a few of them.

Live with out regrets: I always try my hardest to live everyday with out any regrets, granted it's quite the hard thing to accomplish. It always stuns me as to how many things I will regret doing or saying. I firmly believe that you should try your hardest to not have any regrets, and if you do end up regretting something you should get over it as quickly as possible. We should always live our lives out to the fullest so we don't ever end up regretting not doing something. My best friend has a favorite quote and it goes like this, "It's better to regret something that you have done than to regret not doing anything at all." I totally agree with that you've gotta get out there and try new things. That's part of what I've learned in my first weeks of school is how important it is to just let yourself get out there and enjoy life!

Enjoy the rain: It's amazing to me how many people don't like it when it rains! I absolutely love the rain, I mean my blog is titled 'looking at the rain' obviously I love it! I think that every time it rains everyone in the world should embrace it not run away from it! I believe that rain is energizing and will help you clear your mind. We shouldn't run from the rain we should let it 'wash our minds' because if we do it will help us think so much clearer!

Never go a day without music: "Music washes from the soul the dust of everyday life" -- Berthold Auerbach It's so true! Music is an amazing power, it can make you happy our sad. It can give you an entirely new outlook on life. You should listen to music as much as humanly possible, it's an amazing tool that can uplift you and make you just feel better all over. I personally love listening to classical music to help me feel calm and relaxed. Music should be a part of everything, it's that powerful! Try it, if you feel down think of the last time you listened to music, was it a long time ago? If so, listen to something you love it will help. Or maybe you need to change what you're listening to, try something new, new music is amazing, it makes you so happy especially when it's good!

Say "hi" to everyone you meet: It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when you just say hi and smile at people. Sure it makes them feel better, but it also makes you feel so much better! I love walking to class and just looking someone in the eyes and smiling at them, it makes me so happy!

Those are some of my simple philosophies on life, just being a happy person makes such a difference in your life. I think that everyone should form there own philosophies and incorporate them into their everyday lives.
