Dangers of writing
As I come to conclusions easier if I externalise information by taking notes,
I actually do try to write down my thoughts regularly. Such writing functions as
a static repository of ideas that you can come back to, rewrite and thus, in
the best case,
improve. I put improve in quotes here because you might just
as well fall for a fad or ideology and the rewriting doesn't actually benefit
you in the long run. Indeed, static text can make for a dogma, so it's a
double-edged sword.
And I actually very much doubt that
the right philosophy
is a notion that makes sense or something you can reach.
But a worldview influences ones own actions and happiness and is thus a crucial thing to develop.
In conclusions, engage in writing down you thinking, even if it's dangerous.
Tell me what sort of note you take.
Do you have the possibility to look back
on your thoughts?
Ideals
You may be best in a certain collection of things. Even any possible other person that's taken as idol to strive for will already be behind you in some regards. Thus, ones ideal shouldn't be an actual person, for then you're limited by their limits. You can imagine a character that fits with your basic core that's better than anyone alive yet and aim at being like that.
Tell me, and be honest..
...are you on your purpose with the things you do in your life right now (chosen goals that get you further)?
...are the things you do in line with your purpose?
...did you even set up a goal?
And here, again, I'd be weary for trying to not looking forward to what you see in another person.
Don't settle for other peoples limits.
Observe
Are there people in your life who act like children even if it would be more beneficial if they weren't? Do you spread your attention between too many people? Maybe people you don't even know? Like me right now. Did recently make opponents for unnecessarily ideological reasons? Did you go into fights that could have no positive gain. Did you think before engaging? Well you have the chance next time.
