We’ve all spat our disappointment to God at some point. “How can God exist when children are dying, people are starving across the globe, and wars are ever-present?” etc. etc…. I can’t help question, what’s […]
We land in a shit up gutter immersed in our vomit (could be metaphorical) this is the beginning of our new world. Feeling raw as exposure gnaws at your veins, everything is terrifying, live by the day? Nah, you live by the minute in absolute terror the future. Yet we must continue.
The beasties I refer too, are the beasties who hang out in the swamplands of your soul and can unquestionably be your greatest allies, offering you a new way of living. “Suffering is the fastest horse […]
The majority of people are experts in self-criticism and self-hatred. I duck for cover at roadrunner speed after I suggest the concept “acceptance” and how useful it would be to accept how they are right […]

Philosophy may sound like the kind of subject that people with large foreheads study. However, my research concludes that many of the great philosophers did have large foreheads, alongside many with smaller craniums which makes this notion, inconclusive.
Fortunately, being a female, I have a tiny head which has demonstrated the ability to grasp sufficient wisdom from philosophy, for me to choose how I walk my path and survive the tougher times life throws at us.
Here is my thorough forehead report
With a little practice, you can develop an evolving philosophical worldview, that provides you with an ability to immerse yourself in life, with choice and freedom. Philosophy, found me when I was a snot-ridden penniless mess. Philosophy helped me climb out of a shithole state of existence, without philosophy I would have become a festering toxic wasteland in human form.
Philosophy can be engaging, simple, fun and enlightening. You can become your own philosophical guide, which ultimately enables you to stand in your own personal power.
Socrates said it is our responsibility to take care of our souls.
We need to examine our beliefs and values and rules which are toxic, an artful examination can be medicinal.
Cicero: “There is, I assure you, a medical art for the soul. It is philosophy, whose aid need not be sought, as in bodily diseases, from outside ourselves. We must endeavour with all our resources and strength to become capable of doctoring ourselves.”
We must endeavour with our resources and strength to become ourselves.
Use these questions as keys to examine the beliefs that maintain your current worldview.
Research shows that when we change our opinion about a situation, our emotions also change, which reinforces the notion we have some control over how we experience life. Again, it’s back to personal power.
Epictetus, there is nothing more tractable than the human psyche” Ok so you can change, but a degree of tenacity Is required.
If you make a new habit, it’s realistic to expect it will take a little time to embed. Consider the process of becoming a sailor or a bodybuilder, or an excellent cook, it doesn’t happen overnight, learning is a process, not a state. We live in a world where we can get instant orgasm online. The thought we might have to work at our happiness can be disheartening, but you are responsible, in the words of L’Oréal.
“You’re worth it.”
With big LOVE to you.
Walk peacefully and be gentle to yourself; you and your life are precious.
