LIU FENG Shui Grand View is the trademark philosophy developed by Grand Master Chi-Jen Liu. From decades of research and experience in feng shui and related studies, he has defined 130 factors that affect who you are.
These factors are energy forces that influence your well-being and success in life. They can affect you at any given time and their strength varies depending on your priorities, stage of life, way of life, and your awareness. The holistic consideration of all of these influential factors, or grand view perspective, gives you the ability to truthfully see yourself within the context of your life.
The 130 factors can be categorized into two types: 1) predestined and 2) adjustable. You have little control over the predestined factors that established the foundation of your life. The adjustable factors are more easily changed and developed to promote your well-being. Because everything is connected, when you improve one factor, you trigger a chain reaction that affects other factors and creates positive change in your life.
This article series on Grand View Feng Shui will reveal the 130 factors so that you can explore how these forces define and affect who you are. Hopefully, this awareness inspires you to make adjustments for the better.
Factor #22: Philosophy of life
At some point in time, you may have asked yourself the big question, “What is life?” It is natural to ponder the meaning of your life and whether you and those around you have a greater purpose here on earth.
You begin to form a philosophy of life from your personal experience, your faith, or your upbringing, which defines how you deal with daily problems, cope with stress, and reveals your personal attitude. Some people complain, blame, and find ways to escape, while others seek guidance during times of need or confusion. Whether you seek help or prefer to be self-sufficient, how you manage life from day to day reflects your belief system.
For instance, if your philosophy of life includes an understanding of karma and the law of balance, rather than being resentful in a relationship in which you are always giving more, you give willingly, realizing that you are simply returning the favor. Embracing this philosophy can also provide closure with poor relationships that end abruptly so that you can move on with your life.
Some people’s philosophy is that life is short and it is important to carpe diem (seize the day) and live fully in the present. Others are always planning for the future, often at the expense of experiencing what is available to them in the present.
It is important to consider your philosophy of life so that you can be mindful as to whether your approach to managing life’s ups and downs is moving you forward, or if it is holding you back.
