My Personal Statement On How You Can Re Becoming Your Higher Self

Always have compassion, be humble in what my assigned duties are, give respect and reverence unto God, and continue to equip myself for mission work unto God. Keep up with my prayer life, daily devotion and meditational times.

As Dr. Seuss whimsically wrote, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you”. I am a unique individual whose overall condition consists of a hodge-podge of quirks, emotions, and values.

I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity. In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through moving that I may never have learned otherwise. What I have learned about myself and the world will without a doubt contribute to my success in life and even law

It is essential to me that I remain authentic to my call in that it brings what I enjoy doing, what I am good at, and what others need from me together. A part of this is to be open to the possibility of change and to embrace how I can continue to grow and hone my skills. I value the opportunities to continue learning and connecting with people around me. I must understand that I am walking a path that is unique to me, as everyone else is on their path in life. It is okay to have conflict and stumbling blocks, yet I must persevere and listen to the voice that is

For all seventeen years of my life, I have grown up in a Christian home and attended a Seventh Day Adventist church and school. I believe that growing up in a Christian environment has provided me with the foundation of my spiritual life. I 've been taught fundamental aspects and ideas of Christianity and have studied most of the common stories and messages of the Bible. However, even though I am equipped with these study materials and spiritual strengths, I believe that my relationship with God is shaky and not as strong as it has the potential to be. Even though I can proudly acknowledge that there is a God, I often don 't feel His presence and sometimes doubt His existence. I always find myself questioning my spiritual life and relationship with God. If I 've grown up in a Christian environment all of my life, why do I not have a strong relationship with Him? Why is my faith so weak? I believe that the answers to these questions can be found by acknowledging my spiritual weaknesses and using my spiritual strengths to improve them. I believe that acting on some of my spiritual weaknesses, such as an insufficient amount of time devoted to God, unfocused time with spent with Him, and biblical unintelligence, can help me to improve my spiritual life and walk with God.

In the article "Now I Become Myself," author Parker Palmer endeavors to illustrate to her readership how can find personal fulfillment in their occupations by finding out about the self and what it is the individual needs to be satisfied. Most important to Palmer is a wider understanding of the term "vocation." This term is usually applied to religious persons who feel some otherworldly calling to the mantle of the clergy. However, Palmer argues that vocation can be a part of everyone's life, no matter which field it is to which they are drawn. Vocation is a gift for every person from a divine being who tries to inspire people to become the best versions of their selves possible. Achieving this is possible for everyone so long as they listen to the self and do not engage in actions which would hinder self-discovery. What's more, Palmer says, once the self-actualization has occurred, one is not only a better employee, but a better all around human being.

As the years come along one after another people have come in and out of my life, but at the end of the day it all comes down to what I did?, what will I do?, and what can I do? Sometimes you will ask yourself if what you do is even valuable and sometimes it might seem like it doesn’t, but truly deep down it is and will always be. Throughout this journey, I have faced many obstacles and will still need to face many more as the years come. However, one thing I won’t regret is making

There was a time in my life when I rejoiced this subtle, innocent concept from an international bestselling book - “when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” I read the book twice and also listened to its audio book. Many students in the class might have also read this simple, inspiring book. It is “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho.

Now, I’m back to where I started. I embrace my “otherness” fully and take pride in the fact that I am not the same.

Some chose to stay in that position, always looking up at how it could be or would be if they could just take that leap of faith. As soon as we shift our foot to step onto the next rung of the ladder we are suddenly looking up towards the sky. We have left the earth, reaching towards a higher understanding of who we are and what we can be capable of. Suddenly we experience our first sensation of freedom and thinking outside of the box. The atmosphere is endless and now we have broken away from the statues quo. The treasures start to reveal themselves as we start to think, act and create in an entirely new and different way. When we are about to enter into a shift or change that we know is going to expand us, in most cases we ignore all the signals. The list starts to reveal itself, all the many possible outcomes, negative feelings and the fear of the unknown is related to that great

(1) You pay attention to your spiritual life: You remember that the whole aim of your search is to fill that “God-shaped” void in your life —

Our energy that we exude to the world has extreme power and is able to be felt by others. Initially, my belief stemmed from observations that I did from my day to day life. Over the course of my life I started to realize that when I thought something was going to happen, it normally did and sometimes I can see things in my mind before they happen and later it happens exactly how I envisioned it. This not so secret “secret” is a powerful thing to know, understand, and practice. It has helped me to not only keep positive and confident, but more successful and vibrant on a day to day basis. With this belief I feel I have reached further and will to continue to reach further than I would’ve without discovering this knowledge. It has become vital to me to envision what I desire and make it happen through my thinking. How do we make our desires happen? First we must have an idea or vision of what we want, then believe it will happen while creating a plan on how it will come to be, lastly a burning passion must be ingrained in us to stick to the plan and achieve the goal. Our desire should turn into almost an

In his Ted Talk “Is there a real you?”, Julian Baggini compares identity to a waterfall, which made me realize that since we are in constant sate of change there is not such a thing as a permanent version of me. Clearly there is an essence that prevails. Even though my core values and ideals have changed slightly through out the years, I have mostly been following the same moral guidelines my whole life. It is inevitable now to see that many of the characteristics I thought defined me are not even a part of me anymore, and to my surprise are completely invisible to those around me.

My personal mission statement is as follows: To be a positive and influential person in society while still being myself at all times.

The block week of the module introduction to creative thinking was honestly one of the best weeks I have experienced thus far in college. I feel like I learnt more real-world life skills in one week than I have in the last three years of college. Before commencing the week, I was quite apprehensive as to what it would offer and I wondered what we were going to fill all the time with. However, I quickly realised with the challenges Dan and his team had lined up for us, too much time was never going to be an issue, and in fact the problem was nearly always the opposite. When you work in a group and really open your mind to come up with some great innovative ideas they require a lot of time processing. I surprisingly found that generating ideas was not a problem for me, the issue was being decisive when trying to cut down and combine ideas into one really good end product. I quickly learnt that even what appears to be any easy task requires a substantial amount of time. Therefore, planning and time management, which I am not very good at, were key factors in every challenge assigned. For example, a one and half minute long video took us nearly 4 hours to make. I realised throughout the week, that coming up with and implementing creative ideas is a time consuming process but when you put your mind to it and work hard, you can achieve a lot in just one day. At times I recognised that my completer finisher team role hindered this, because I was always trying to perfect the end
