I Believe In Having Fun

As we go through periods of stability that are life chapters, and periods of instability that bring about the transitions, we must recognize where we are in the Life Launch. The continuous flow of the four phases is how we grow and develop through our adult years. It is very important to know how to engage and move through the Renewal Cycle of Change. The magic formula that I have begun applying is, Hold On to everything that is important, valuable, and beneficial in my life. The things I like about myself are my spirituality, my family, and my friends. Let go of what’s not working, get rid of dysfunctions, leave bad attitudes behind, and unlearn bad behaviors. Move on is the action I’m taking and will make happen over the next chapter of my life, while I hold on, let go and take on. These actions are making me set precedence in my life and take the necessary steps to start a change for my future. For success to happen in the new chapter of my life, I must learn how to go with the flow of change and embrace the change. By not allowing myself to remain stuck during a transitional period, I take notice and move forward during the challenge. It’s perfectly okay to go through the Renewal Cycle because it goes on and on. It’s life if you allow changes to help you to continue to grow, as you evaluate where you are on your travels through your Life

This is similar to me because I feel that I am always trying to find more satisfaction and joy in my life. Even though I live a very fortunate life, I still find myself wanting more and more. I think this is because I've become accustom to the life I live. For example, I may live a much better life than the kids that were trying to cross the boarder, but it is all about

There is no correct way to live life. There cannot be one approach to life, because there are multitudes of contrasting varieties of people walking the Earth. Although, a technique that can be applied individually to anyone’s life is balance. Like my dad says, too much of anything isn’t a good thing, everything is good in moderation. Everyone needs to find harmony in their lives between family, friends, love, hate, work, play, healthy food, junk food. Anytime that there is contrasting ways to live life, there needs to be balance. I do not know of anyone who has ever enacted a perfect balance of everything in life for longer than a day. Day to day, life changes and we cannot be so focused on one goal, whether the goal be complete fun all the time or working day in and day out, because we will miss the beauty of life. I believe to be successful, we need to find a balance that works for our life, and a person whose balance is compatible with ours. Having tunnel vision gets us nowhere. We need to see all aspects of life, the good, the bad, the fun, the unpleasant, the work and the pastime and work them together into a suitable

Great post Skyler! You make a great point that things in life are bound to go differently than we plan. Aging is especially unpredictable and life can go from good to bad in seconds. You are right that the only way to be happy in life is to have a positive attitude and accept the good along with the

Although I would like to believe I have led a fairly normal life, perfectly meeting each and every milestone or challenge without hitting any speed bumps. Deep down I know, that I there are various aspects of my life that have caused struggles in my development.

Susan Wolf addresses these questions an aim to bring out the distinctive characteristics of the reasons and motives that give our lives meaning. Wolf claims that "meaningful lives are laws of active engagement and projects of worth" (Wolf, 206). Suggesting that when a person is actively engaged in anything they feel alive and life is more worth living. Nevertheless, Wolf explains that neither religion or science is sufficient for leading a meaningful life, claiming that a life of passion could corrupt the pursuit of happiness if you decide to dedicate your life to how you feel. Suggesting that working toward some goal that is substantial than yourself, can be hard work if you don 't have any passion or connection to it. According to Wolf, the subjective element is necessary for a meaningful life and arises from active engagement in some activity that one loves. In addition, the passive attachment to objectively valuable things are not sufficient for meaning. The feeling of fulfillment originates when “one is doing what one loves, or when one is engaging in activities by which one is gripped or excited” (Wolf, 207).

What gives me joy? (What kinds of things am I doing when I’m most naturally content and happy?)

Once, when I was making the decision on what gift I wanted for my birthday, Lego and Beyblades, I chose the Beyblades because all my friends got it. I thought it was a fun toy, but after a while, I realized Beyblades didn’t bring me a lot of joy because the toy was a 2-player game. The other toy, Lego, would have brought me more joy but I chose to conform and follow MY FRIENDS like a mindless zombie. . SIMILARLY, WWhen I went to China for amy school trip, again I chose to conform when, we went to the Pearl Market to buy cool gifts for others or ourselves. I went into this tech shop with friends; it sold some toys and some tech gadgets like lego, pokemon, some computers, and phonesThat day, I lost a lot of interest in toys. I was interested in the toys but my friends were buying Beats and

Taking pleasure in every minute of life is crucial. Despite their age, citizens can have young spontaneous spirits if they choose to do so. Life is so precious and so valuable. Many people are so worried and concerned with their present. They forget to spend life like a child who is “two years old,” which is important. Living life like a toddler does not mean a person should be immature. It only means that they should flow through the waves of where fate is meant to take them. A two year old child wants to be nurtured and loved. Human beings want to be cared for and felt affection towards. Individuals who live youthfully and make the most of their journeys tend to be the most content. They flee from their qualms. Existence in the world does have pain and sorrow, but it is important to use the organ that all of mankind was given to love, live, laugh, enjoy, and most of all relax. Doyle mentions that “Every creature on earth has approximately two billion heartbeats to spend in a lifetime.” These two billion heartbeats fragile, and each beat should be cherished. Most importantly, each beat should be spent doing something important in life, but with

Life is a gift in which many have the great experiences that come with it. As children, most have loving parents, helpful teachers, a good education, and friends that encourage us to fulfill our dreams. We become teenagers who think we know it all, strictly care about having a good time, and make memories that we can carry with us throughout our lifetime. Eventually we must grow up. We get a job, marry someone, and start a family. If you haven’t noticed already, I am describing an ideal life that many don’t have the privilege of living. Adult years begin to tear you apart and build up stress. Learning to live a life on your own can and will lead to tears and mistakes. Although everyone makes mistakes some can be more

It all started with a Jumpman and a swoosh, it was more than just a shoe it was the start of a culture. What most people look at as just a shoe to protect their feet has a story behind it and a deeper meaning to me and many others than “just a pair of shoes”. Don’t put on a pair of shoes unless you know how to wear them right. For every pair I own I could explain the troubles I went through and the people I met to get each sneaker. The best feeling was opening that fresh shoe box and taking out that paper wrapping. Putting on each new pair of sneakers is like taking a breath of fresh air each pair crisp as bacon. I am one among many sneakerheads, people who love to buy, sell, trade, and collect rare shoes. There is a culture, lifestyle, and history behind sneaker collecting. Most people would think dropping hundreds if not thousands on a pair of shoes is crazy but I believe sneakers are essential.

I believe in good karma. Some may say that it's just a coincidence that one gets a sort of reward after doing something good for others, but I am sure it's good karma paying us back for our actions.

Over the course of my life I have had many life experiences which have made me who I am today. When I was in my middle childhood, most of my life revolved around playing and having fun. I did not have to put forth effort in hardly any area of my life or work hard in order to achieve specific goals. As time went on however, my own life experiences began to have an effect on me, and shape the person I am today. My life started to change the most during middle childhood when I was around the age of seven years old. At this point in my life, I had to adjust to several big changes.

Everyone has their own unique beliefs and motives that push them through their lives. I have many different beliefs instilled in me that mold my day to day life. These beliefs have been formed either by learning from my parents, or by personal experiences. One major conviction of mine is the pursuit of happiness. There are many ways to strive for happiness, and all people are unique in the fact that no one shares the same goals. My happiness comes from a core of beliefs. Religion is an extremely important part of my life, and I can thank my mother and father for that. Another belief of mine is that hard work pays off; in many situations I have been shown that a good work ethic goes a long way in being successful. I also believe in being an optimist throughout life’s trials and tribulations. Many things can upset me in day to day experiences; however, I believe it to be crucial to obtain a joyous attitude. These beliefs have become priorities to me and carry me through my life, and help me to succeed.

Life sometimes seems scary. The fear of failure and the fear of the unknown make a person rethink its choices and goals, this happens all the time. As time passes, be days, moths, years or only simply one experience can change our whole vision of the world, about life, about what really matters and consequently about our goals. Throughout my whole life I have questioned so many aspects of my life, of existence, and consequently about my future. I never stopped wanting to achieve something big, that could change the whole world, some amazing adventure that would be the one thing that would give birth to all the amazing things that could happen next. As time passed I realized that life itself is one big adventure, and that what I will do every day will matter for me and for the people around me. I realized that life is not some perfect movie where there are good guys, bad guys and that in the end of one amazing journey everything would be solved. It may be a childish vision of the world, but it had motivated me for years to do the thing I believed would help me achieve this, and to believe in myself. Obviously as I grew up, I saw what the world really looked like, that sacrifices have to be made, that there are things which no one can control, that if I want something I have to work really hard. In today society everything counts.
