Everyone should have these questions answered before they die: What are you running from, to, and why? #philosophyfriday #motivationalquotes #wisdom #redtiger #shaolinwingchun #kungfu #vingtsun #wingchun #martialscience #shaolinkungfu #selfimprovement #selfdefense #karate #muaythai #taekwondo #brazilianjiujitsu #mma #fma #jeetkunedo #ufc #gym #zen #ipman #brucelee #jackiechan #donnieyen #fitness #cincinnatimartialarts (at Liberty Township, Butler County, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YyZNaBVvn/?igshid=1ubwysudn847l

"Human beings have always been an unfinished species, a story in the middle, a succession of families, tribes, and societies in transition to new awarenesses. Although we have always prided ourselves on our willingness to adapt to all habitats, and on our skill at prospering and making ourselves comfortable wherever we are -- in a meadow, in a desert, on the tundra, or out on the ocean -- we don't just adapt to places, or modify them in order to ease our burdens. We're the only species that over and over again has deliberately transformed our surroundings in order to stretch our capacity for understanding and provoke new accomplishments. And our growing and enhanced understanding is our most valuable, and our most vulnerable, inheritance." ~Anthony Hiss . . . . . . . #flashbackfriday #friyay #fbf #philosophyfriday #myCBY #CherryBlossomYoga #Ashtanga #AshtangaYoga #Mysore #Vinyasa #Restorative #Yin #Yoga #YogaWall #YogaEverywhere #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaDaily #WomenOwnedBusiness #houstontx #cbyschedule #YogaGoals #Goals #Fitness #Therapeutics #Healing #newpost #Community #CbyFamily #yogafam #blackandwhite #bw (at Cherry Blossom Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvnWrGIAGdb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nvn302u0kso6

Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principle from philosophy. Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case the simpler one is usually better. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation. Occam's razor applies especially in the philosophy of science, Example: Two trees have fallen down during a windy night. Think about these two possible explanations: 1 The wind has blown them down. 2 Two meteorites have each taken one tree down and, after striking the trees, hit each other removing any trace of themselves. Even though both are possible, several other unlikely things would also need to happen for the meteorites to have knocked the trees down, for example: they would have to hit each other and not leave any marks. In addition, meteorites are fairly rare. Since this second explanation needs several assumptions to all be true, it is probably the wrong answer. Occam's razor tells us the wind blew the trees down, because this is the simplest answer therefore probably the right one. Occam's razor also comes up in medicine. When there are many explanations for symptoms, the simplest diagnosis is the one to test first. If a child has a runny nose, it probably has the common cold rather than a rare birth defect. Medical students are often told, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses 🐎 , not zebras 🦓 " #philosophyfriday #regaldna @mxzoe_ @kraftweez @shinzou.buks

I noticed on Facebook that @annelamott was Speaking near my hometown in Westchester, NY, and was so bummed to be unable to attend. Unexpectedly, while doing my daily quote reading (#bestfreetherapy), this popped up. Yeah, it’s a little intense, but she’s just one of those writers who gets that someone needs to say this stuff. She’ll always be one of my favorites for her emotional intelligence and eloquent vulnerability. . . . . . #wordstoliveby #writerstofollow #instagood #quotes #lifequotes #philosophyfriday #fridayfeeling #itsoktofeel #annelamott #mindfulness #randomthoughts #life

Focus on the beauty right in front of you, not on the shadows up ahead. #PhilosophyFriday We hear about suicide stories almost everyday now. Never lose hope. We all have so much potential within ourselves that's not worth squandering over self-harm or suicide. Seek the help you need. You are not alone. You matter. ❤ (at United Arab Emirates, Sharjah)

This proves to me that politics has morphed into a business.  It is a funding of national dichotomy, to keep us at each other’s throats, bickering over the miniscule things that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of this beautiful life.  Politics thrives off of our fear to survive and our need to belong.  If we could only see for one moment that we are brothers and sisters and we can rise up to the challenge of a new world, not necessarily of order, but of peace.  If we could all agree to disagree, keeping hateful politics out of the heart and the home.  That may be a farfetched unthinkable idea, but all ideas eventually lead somewhere.  That—at least—is my philosophy, my hope, my personal politics.
