Would you not become a great person in true sense?

Question:If you did nothing else but managed to solve, if not all but most of, the problems you have in your life. I believe you would. I believe all the ingredients for your outstanding success and achievement are there in your mind. All you have to do is for the recipe for success. Normally, you might run away from problem, or feel overwhelmed at times, but your future success mostly depend upon what matters you might already have.

Do you think you can do this better through philosophy?

I would greatly appreciate your valuable views, ideas, thoughts, notions, but not your problems, as they are for you to deal with, remember! :)

Thanks for you time, you have been very kind!

Each of us is a mini-cosmos, a possible Christ or Buddha.

So I agree with you that potentially we are all great persons within and this greatness does not come from anything accomplished from without but from accomplishing the inner organization, alignment, and perfection at the heart of the cosmos.

As long as we are facing the sun, we are lighted or enlightened. When we face the opposite direction, we are creators of shadows and see darkness.

So, then we become not so much great persons but persons of Greatness, which is the divine Oneness at the center of all.

Peace.

Are you The Prodigal Bore in disguise?

Life without challenges would have been meaningless.
The greatest straight in a man is not his fall but his rise each time man falls.
And a man without principle, value and foundation can be very unstable.
Success comes with hard work, perseverance and dedication.
So, as human being and a social being, one need to love other beings.
love and let live.

This question of yours is more confusing to me than most, because I think your saying we can solve all of our own problems if we want to. But I believe we create most of our own problems, "most of" I myself use to say "why me" blah blah but the truth of the matter is, most of the real damage I have done to my self. And I do believe I can create a life better through philosophy, if I just slow down, plan ahead keep a sober mind, maybe read proverbs daily, live by the advice of great philosophers not just any philosophers but the great ones. Find out who I am, what my purpose is, and most importantly help others,,,,and one thing I wish I was better at is ( mean what I say, and say what I mean)
Happy Easter,,,,,To all that apply xoxo
