You have more than one of these, and you may not realize it! A philosophy. Sounds like a topic for a PhD, but according to Jim Rohn:

Your philosophy is the sum total of all that you know and what you decide is valuable.

It is the greatest determining factor in how your life works out.

 And we develop philosophies in all the areas of our lives. (Our close relationships with others will soon show that other people can either collide or connect with us in these areas.)

Our families of origin had philosophies which we absorbed. We may or may not have questioned/revamped/affirmed these mindsets as we became adults.
