Author Reflects on Living Without a Personal Mantra
Original: Everything is Not What it Seems What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by? View all responses I am not at all a
Author Patrick W. Marsh has written a reflective piece arguing that everything is not what it seems, prompted by the question of what personal mantra or philosophy people live by. He says he is not a mantra person, admits he struggles to stay positive in general, and often cannot recall inspirational quotes when facing difficult situations. The piece reads as an honest, self-deprecating take on the pressure to keep a guiding philosophy.
Why now: People are engaging with a writer's candid, relatable admission that he has no inspiring life philosophy.
