    Life is a learning process. Once I was old enough to begin to know how much I did not know (that was about age 25), life started getting better and more livable. I still have down periods but there are always some that I can look at and say very sincerely, "there but for the grace of God, go I" I thank my Maker for all my gifts and my problems -- one shows His love for me and the other shows His respect for me.

    This lens resonated very highly with me, really good read. I definitely agree on the "Optimisim also can be passive and active" bit. I live my life looking for things to be happy about and reading this has done the job! Good outlook. With thanks and appreciation. Cathi

    This is a very interesting read, love what you have done here. It's so easy to get side tracked in today's stressful world and focus on the wrong values. thank you for putting this together for us, couldn't agree more. Passive and active optimism, it's so true, Thank you for reminding me.

    I really like this Lens and I think you've done a smashing job on it. The 'dog eat dog' culture out there is stressful. I always try to live by the Golden Rule and I'm happy to be working from home!

    I love learning and stretching my mind. It's nice to hear how others see things. I too agree that we need to be careful how we treat people here. I have not in the past and am coming back to caring, really caring for people instead of just saying I do.

    Great lens. I've chosen "love" as the most important value because I think it could syntetize all my philosophy - which is, actually, very similar to yours. If you love you respect (not only I'm thinking about human beings, but also about animals, nature, our natural and artificial environments....); if you love the things you do, you live well, you smile and you are less stressed. Don't you agree?
  • dannystaple Oct 11, 2011 @ 2:28 pm | delete
    I definitely agree. I sometime get too caught up in thew learn bit to the detriment of the others, which can leave me tired and stressy, so thats when I need to spend more time taking the kids out or visiting friends, or even just sleeping - both living and loving...
  • Thimblepod Sep 11, 2011 @ 10:49 am | delete
    Nice lens. I try to go by the theory of what you put out in life is what you get back as well. I voted for learning in the above poll because I believe if you stop learning you stop living!
  • PaulLeg Sep 2, 2011 @ 5:25 pm | delete
    very nice, you made me smile :)
  • Timewarp Aug 9, 2011 @ 4:51 pm | delete
    Great lens, gotta agree with you on all points.
  • DinosaurEgg Jul 22, 2011 @ 8:50 am | delete
    As a Humanist I find a lot to agree with here. I try to live a considered life.
  • dthonstad Jul 11, 2011 @ 7:40 am | delete
    Very nice lens and great thoughts for living well. I agree with Live, Love, and Learn. I also like to live by the philosophy of, "Go with the flow and roll with the punches" and "Take it Easy." Sometimes people take life too serious. Maybe you could add Laugh into your philosophy. Anyhow, nice to meet you and thanks for sharing.

    HERE, HERE. wonderful lens!!!
  • bkarsono May 3, 2011 @ 10:32 pm | delete
    Good enough for me. It's all common sense, but common sense is not always common practice. That's the issue.
  • SereneSea May 2, 2011 @ 12:12 pm | delete
    Liked the way you have summed up Life's Philosophy - Live, Love and Learn. Life is all about learning and of course living fully while enjoying it.
  • karmicchristian Apr 23, 2011 @ 9:42 am | delete
    To live, to love and to learn are indeed the basic tenets to life. You have spread a wonderful message in simple and crisp terms. Good day and God bless.

    I am passionate about learning, so your thoughts on learning really connected with me. Guess I'm an information seeker and Squidoo is an ideal platform to quench your thirst. But guess I've got to learn more in the "real" world as well. Note to myself: Try a dragon fruit. I like the sound of it ;)
  • KeenanSteel Jan 28, 2011 @ 5:16 pm | delete
    "we should not be poisoning or neglecting our life here on earth in the hope that things are better there. " Fantastic, thanks! :)
  • MamaBelle Jan 23, 2011 @ 1:44 pm | delete
    Thought provoking, Thanks enjoyed my visit.
  • CherylK Jan 22, 2011 @ 8:55 am | delete
    Wow!!! This is just fabulous. One of the best articles I've ever read on personal philosophy. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I'm going to lensroll this to a couple of my lenses that are sort of related.
  • kimmanleyort Jan 20, 2011 @ 8:39 am | delete
    I think this is a wonderful philosophy and that the 3 L's are pretty fundamental. To me, continuing to learn is an act of humility, so important these days. You've touched on it here, but compassion to me is fundamentally important. Thank you for sharing your thoughts so respectfully.
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Jan 15, 2011 @ 12:38 pm | delete
    Well, they are all important, but too many people who love forget about learning and when you stop learning your brain starts dying.
  • StephenC Jan 10, 2011 @ 3:21 pm | delete
    Learn. Love. Live. Enjoyed the visit! Liked reading about your philosophy.
  • totally_radically_awesome Dec 13, 2010 @ 7:26 am | delete
    I agree with a lot of your philosophy not all of it of course. I did like though near the end of this lens you talk about the importance of living, breathing and experiencing the life we have. Seeing as we are unsure of what lies in store for us in the afterlife though I do not think there- well there might be one but compared to the life we live now it is more important. It's okay if we do not live to die, I live to live, I do not live to die. Living to die would be so empty- my life would feel empty and uncomfortable.

    What is your opinion on God? I disbelief all higher powers but if religion empowers my loved ones or lack there of, as long as it is not a creepy cult I am all for it. I think it is important to live for others, adore yourself and be willing to make uncomfortable sacrifices. I think one should also be willing to chance themselves.

    What are your views on desire, good or bad? Do you condemn desire or thing it a good thing? Are you one of those people who is very focused on living in the present moment?

    I like the present moment and I sometimes focus on it. I shift sometimes from thinking about the future, the present and the past. I think it's important to selectively sift through what we think about. I like focusing more on the present and the future. I do not like having complete attention to the now though, I like to look forward to things, in some moments I do not mind having complete attention to the now and others I do somewhat mind. I do not think it is wrong to ponder present, past or future. Sometimes it is necessary to completely focus in the present like in tragic occurances. I think there should be balance though.

    Perception and recognition of living each moment is what I consider important.

    What a wonderful perspective that you have presented very, very, well. Very thought provoking! Thank you!
  • MTF-briguy Oct 25, 2010 @ 3:38 pm | delete
    Just dropped by to say..this has to the most positive lens that I have seen in awhile! I also have another L in my life...Laugh..Live, Love and Laugh!
  • dannystaple Oct 25, 2010 @ 4:30 pm | delete
    Yes! Why not - laugh as well! Nothing beats having some good laughs in life.
  • SofiaMann Oct 24, 2010 @ 7:43 pm | delete
    Love is all we know, but it is good to remember the golden rule. Nice lens.
  • TapIn2U Oct 14, 2010 @ 11:24 am | delete
    This has been one of the most inspiring Lenses I've ever encountered. Live, love and learn! Let's pass it around! I follow you on Twitter ? and love your tweets. I found Squidoo through them. I have just finished my first Lens and now have great ideas to add thanks to you. Sundae ;-)

    Interesting and thought provoking - nice to someone trying to deal with the big picture for a change. Best wishes to you and your family.

    Great thinking behind this lens. *-*Blessed*-* and featured on Sprinkled with Stardust and also on Complex Thought

    This lens was very interesting!
  • arncyn Feb 8, 2010 @ 11:09 am | delete
    What a beautiful philosophy. I love the honest sincerity in your words. What you said -- "I behave as if this is the only chance, the only life" -- is something we should all keep in mind because it's only then that we can live life to its fullest. *blessed by an angel*
  • theraggededge Feb 7, 2010 @ 10:46 am | delete
    I love your outlook. I really like that you know that people who act badly usually do so, not through malice but because they do not know better. We're all just trying to live life as best we can.
  • Ramkitten Apr 15, 2009 @ 5:53 pm | delete
    I like your philosophy. And I especially like optimistic people. By necessity, I have to be around a family member who is anything but, so I find it extra refreshing to be around those who are. I enjoyed your lens.
  • seedplanter Feb 17, 2009 @ 9:40 pm | delete
    Dannie, I like what you wrote: "When you are busy, stressed or otherwise distracted - do not forget to live." Timely advice, with so many people facing financial and personal stress.
    You sound like someone I would like to have for a neighbor.

    Enjoyed the lens. Thank you for sharing your heart.
