The word “philosophy”-is from two Greece words; philo=love and sophia=wisdom; that’s a “love of wisdom”. Individual or personal philosophy has a real influence in life when internalized by a person with willingness to change and through inspiring the change of attitude, encouraging others to act; while the major attention is made on doing good and right things at a right time.

“Personal Philosophy” as it has been highlighted by online forum in Tanzania- Mwanahalisi Forum - “Is a belief a person has on a certain issue or a circumstance.” in Swahili- “ni imani aliyonayo mtu juu ya jambo au kitu fulani.” The forum pointed up that, every sane person in life is directed with three things; PHILOSOPHY, ATTITUDE and DETERMINATION; the three act as map directing mankind in life while building a “personal philosophy” which makes people to differ or having one idea in common.

Jim Rohn once again insisted in different scenario; “personal philosophy” is what someone believes and pursues in life. It guides us to different destinations in life as determined by the way we have chosen to set our sail with regard to blowing of the wind; the wind blow the same to all of us. That’s to say, personal philosophy is a great determining factor in how your life works out. Establishing a powerful, personal philosophy will help us to influence in a positive way all that we do, think and decide.

Taking into detail about personal philosophy of life, it’s better to know exactly the importance of having it and how to build for the sake of having successful life.

Philosophy of life as it can be internalized by a person, act as a guiding principle to live in a peace and harmony condition in given community. It assists a person to be focused in decision making without being manipulated with external influences, while taking into account the values and norms of a society. 

When we have person philosophy, we can be away from danger when making important decisions in our life. Will assist us to make right decision as we have considered all aspects before making such a decision.

With person philosophy you can be free from “mental slavery” which is a threat to personal development and creativity.

You can build your philosophy. Commit yourself to a new journey of life and say aloud, I’m going to change my life! Once you do so, you’ll never look back.

As a prescription to assist you more in building individual philosophy, there are two books that changed my life, also, I recommend you to read to build and strengthen your philosophy: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.

“I always knew I wanted to become somebody when I grew up. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” - Lily Tomlin

The first and critical step to accomplish in your life future is identifying with inner ability and potential of oneself. It’s about identifying your personal value; linking your potential with opportunities and doing something you want that make your heart sing to become somebody. 

Lily Tomlin an American actress, comedian, writer, singer, and producer knew that she wanted to become somebody when she grew up. Finally, she realized that she should have been more specific.

Identifying and being who you are can make many people unique and somebody in life. But, another critical step; it takes to be “more specific” with your ability and “start acting” in parallel to problem you want to fix in your community.

Insisting about being more specific doesn’t mean to be limited with what you can do or what you love to do. It’s about sticking and committed to your burning desire in relation to what you can do with your potential for other people-the market place.

Living a successful life, it’s when individual potential meets with personal focus and determination without imitating other people, the same in identifying answers from societal problems. 

Sad to say, the world is missing people who can stand firm with what they want to accomplish and believe to deal with challenges in life. Our world has good number of people who believe in success through adopting the life of successful people even though they are not aware of a path used. This makes people fail to live and achieve their dreams due to “copy and paste mentality” which I consider it to be a threat to “human thinking”-ability of human to think and “attitude”-the way we see the world using the “eye of a soul”. Currently, we have a huge number of people who want “short cut” to achieve in life. That’s a tragedy of human thinking!

As it was said by Swahili ancestor that, “Maisha ni Safari”- ”Life is a Journey” in English translation, the same to “success in life is also a journey”; there is no short cut! You need to know exactly a path using a map drawn in your mind and destination in order to succeed in life. In case you don’t know exactly a path toward success with your potential, surely you will be living other people’s life and it’s where you will be stuck and off the target.

When identifying who you are with something capable of, then, improve your skills enhancing your potential to become a better person of value. Everyday, strive to become a person of value by acquiring more skills relating a professional you love.

Being a person of value attracts the demand in the market place, thus, the value you become with success, as Jim Rohn once said; “success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person.” Linking the acquired skills and your potential with available opportunities to address the pain of other people will open a door to success.

Attributed to the Talmud- an Ancient Eastern Thinking and Jose Martí, Cuban revolutionary and poet, argued that; "(Every man should) plant a tree, have a child, and write a book. These all live on after us, insuring a measure of immortality."  The three things will make mankind to live a fulfilled life, not only that, having the three legacies that will live on longer when you die.

In spotlighting, among the three stated roles of humanity; planting a tree has splendid benefits to our time and to the coming generation. This doesn’t mean to exclude the two other stated roles of “having a child” and “writing a book.” Take your precious time as a key resource, your energy with wise decision to address for the same to have life with fulfillment.

Planting a tree will make you get connected directly with Nature, as will add important ingredient of Nature for you, to your generation and the ecosystem. It’s for aesthetic, shade and good aeration with soothing sound when planted around your premises.

In scientific perspective, conservationists affirmed that, planting trees played a key role in capturing carbon dioxide (one of greenhouse gases) for their survival, in doing so reduce the earth’s warming effect thus protect animals from the effects of global warming. 

The growth of a tree, with increased height, branches and increased girth, signify the growth and maturity of your child of the same age to that tree. Also, each tree can be a living record of various stages in life. 

Planting a tree for your children and for the future generation create honor to each children. Your children will consider you expressing your authentic love to them in action, as they will remember and live you in many years to come. It makes a great concern for a child and your generation to value and nurture those trees, also, for them to keep on planting more trees in creating another history.

So, find a way in which you can have a plan to plant trees, even a single tree each year, as you will be happy and the coming generation will be happy for you with your three legacies.
