Credo, motto ... These words became fashionable.Although not everyone understands, the more not all are understood correctly. What is the life credo? The motto is a familiar word, what does the motto and credo have in common? We will gradually understand the confusion.
Forgotten value
Initially, the credo is the Latin name of the prayer"Symbol of faith". After all, it begins with the word "I believe", and that is how the word "credo" itself is translated. That is, the meaning of this word was originally religious, and only later it acquired the importance of a life principle that helps a person cope with various difficulties of reality. The motto is a concept originally secular, with a motivational purpose. Credo does not call anyone for anything - it's a calm knowledge of life.
On the crisis
Often people start looking for themselves and looking atdepth of his personality closer to 40 years. Then they suddenly realize that they lived for many years with other people's values and did not form their life credo. Examples of such cases you can often see among friends, especially those who grew up in Soviet times, when personal development was suppressed, and people lived for the sake of imposed goals. And now they are trying to find themselves in pseudo-Eastern cults, which are created to extract money from naive seekers of truth.
Born inside
What is the credo of life?It's just a principle that works in many life situations. Usually, if a person acquires true maturity in a healthy way, then the life credo it forms independently, these are not mottos from the Internet. Credo must be thought out by the person himself (even if not created), felt and adapted to the realities. Well, what can you give to the credo "Never give up," if you did not confirm it with a dozen observations in life?
Life credo .... from an anecdote
One of my own creeds came afterthe way I heard the joke. And then I realized that he was not anecdotal about life. In this ridiculous story, a stupid girl asked the genie for big eyes, nails and ears. And then, when he asked why she did not ask for wealth, beauty and intelligence, she asked: "And what could I do?". Since then, this expression has become my credo. I understand that we simply do not take into account many opportunities in life. And I try not to be such a girl.
Time frame
Personal foundations end up forming to 28years. Formation of principles and credo begins at age 21 and lasts a lifetime. But it is in the 21-28 years, when the creative side of the personality is forming, and most beliefs are formed. At this time a person becomes more confident in himself and stronger as a person, learns to resist adverse influences. And in adolescence, life credo is usually still unstable, people rarely pronounce them and hesitate. But other people's opinions mean a lot.
It takes a long time to feel andformulate their own beliefs, although society requires us to realize our "mission" almost from the age of 14. This is unrealistic, the human psyche needs a long time to work on its problems and realize the reality in the form of short formulations - credo.
