Three little words can bring inner happiness to me and others. Having the ability to change your attitude towards life and what defines it will create a feeling of peace. Living our life can bring good and bad regrets, but the choice we make can bring happiness and a meaningful life. The goal of this essay is to show by belief I live by and what defines me as a person. Having the power to live with the choices I had made, determination towards a goal and finding a deeper meaning to life. Growing up these days, with many of our fellow men and women, looking to get a taste of the good life. They will try to achieve happiness in very different ways in how they treat each other. The choices I have made have given me great opportunities to create a better and more fulfilling life for myself. The reason I believe choices impact our lives so much is because most of us are given a fair chance in today's world. An example from my life is being able to overcome family problems with my father. I made the life choice to have no contact with him because of the man I saw as a child. My family problems will help me to be a strong and more independent person throughout my life. Having independence will help me continue to become, I hope, a more successful adult. Choosing not to have contact with my father was a difficult decision. It has been difficult to maintain a relationship with my real brother because he is still in contact with my father. My older brother may look down on my choice, but I think I made a better choice. In the future maybe I will regret not talking to my father, but for now I think it is best to stop all communication with him. Being able to make a difficult choice in cutting off communication... middle of paper... I also like to try to help local homeless men and women by volunteering at my church. I think taking some time out of my busy schedule to help those in need is very important to my beliefs. The above belief inspired me to help people as much as possible and try to make a difference. We should seek to create and bring happiness to others rather than indulging so much in our own little perfect lives that we don't stop and look deeper. Lastly, being able to live by a belief is a challenge, but living your life is something I have experienced. for a while. It made me think that the difficulties and problems in my daily life make me a better person. Living your life for you and no one else is a great belief to live by with choices and goals towards a better life. Also, being able to live with choices, be determined towards a goal and find a deeper meaning to life.
