1. A transcendentalist would tell me to follow my own rules and my own belief system. To ignore the law of man and God and follow the beat of my own drum.

1.) A Transcendentalist would advise me to observe with the knowledge i have already obtained. To engage with my own personal reality and pass judgement in an honorable and respectful manner. Transcendentalists are considered pessimists always reminding themselves of the despair and death around every corner.

1.) A Transcendentalist would advise me to use the knowledge ive gained and apply it to life. Transcendentalists often think about the end and death and try to savor life while then can.

1) A transcendentalist is someone who embraces their own ideas, someone who takes what they know and enhances it. They learn more about who they are and they use it to their advantage. They use what they know to apply it to their life and situations they find themselves in.

A transcendentalist would encourage me to follow the beat of my own drum and find myself in nature. I would be advised to lead a selfless life and the only way to find truth is to look for it in myself.

The advice that a transcendentalist would give me is to stand out of every crowd. Take every opportunity to express myself in my own way. They would tell me to ignore the norm of society's opinions and form my own holding them with honor.

What a transcendentalismo would tell me is to stand out if the crowd and be myself. Have my own thoughts and way of doing things. In the painting you can tell that it's individualism because the man is on top of a high mountain looking down at the world. It has romantics way of viewing things by conquering great things. The quote means to be yourself. Do not follow anyone else's path, make your own path. I think that is it great to be somewhat selfish. Being kind of selfish is good because you can stop worrying about others and worry about yourself.

1. It would tell me to be myself and try to find myself. They would tell me to forget reality and just go out and find who I am as an individual. To leave my friends and family behind for a little just to find who I am.

A Transcendentalist would recommend going out into nature to help assist on one's journey of discovering their individualism. Gut instincts/decisions can be influenced by the enviroment around us. There are also various other key factors that help one determine these decisions such as one's knowledge, and confidence in that knowledge. David Friedrich's painting, The Wander, depicts a man standing over a beautiful mountainous landscape full of opportunity waiting to begin his own journey. Romanticism and Transcendentalism could be main themes behind these paintings. These concepts encourage personal, mental, and physical discovery with methods of individual meditation. Knowing one's true identity and character can help build one's confidence and self love no matter what step in the journey we are. Financially, and mentally not everyone is born happy or satisfied but there are plenty of ways in which we can improve these conditions of our lives. Growth, evolution, maturity, wisdom, patience, and knowledge is all we have to improve our quality of living and self-satisfaction.

A transcendentalist would tell me that the truth is inside of me. She would tell me that reality isn’t absolute, and that I don’t have to believe everything that I’m told to. She would tell me to go alone by myself, so I can find who I really are, and what the world really is.

1) they would say that no matter what being truly happy should be someone priority. they would say that kick out anything you second guess. mainly because if they were truly making you happy you wouldn't second guess.

1. After doing some research on google I think a transcendentalist in my opinion would give you advice about "spiritual and philosophical truth through direct personal experience with nature and intuition" or embracing individualism and self-reliance.

1. A transcendentalist would tell you to forget about everything you've been taught about self identity and to find the truth within you. You must go outside and view the cycles of life and mother nature to understand that you must face the treacherous storms head on. You must rely on yourself to find happiness and to overcome your fears and squash your worries.
