There are many things I am grateful for in my life, but I am most grateful to have the freedom of religion. In many other countries across the world there are a multitude of people being tormented and killed for their beliefs. There have been men, women, and children who have died because they believe follow Jesus. So if there is one thing I am thankful for it is to know that I can belive Jesus to be my savior and know I will not be killed because of…
My life is not so perfect but I am really thankful because I could be going though what the immigrant children are going though. Put yourself in their shoes and think about the everyday struggles that these children go…
The Power of Daily Positive Affirmations Sally was devastated when her boyfriend, Alex, dumped her for another girl. He had lost interest after Sally started gaining weight due to her anti-depressants. The breakup only caused Sally to spiral downward further. She began to drink and soon slipped back to her former alcoholic ways.…
How does compassion for others influence your connection with other human beings outside of your family and friends? Discuss and explain in detail? Comparatively, I would say that you would have to know and understand the meaning of compassion first. The definition states, a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. To me that would mean to help someone without expectations of receiving something back.…
1. Self-Awareness Over the past couple of weeks I have been going through the crucibles and this week is no different. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I know where my strength lies and I will focus on those strengths to become a better person. It is said that you will not know how strong you are until the test comes.…
Just imagine this scene. You are a senior in college and it is your last finals before graduating to get your diploma. Two weeks left and you are looking for the best solution on how to not only study but also be able to recall the information that you are going over. So you try to look for the answer and do so through a psychological viewpoint. Psychologists recommend that sleep is the key to retaining information.…
After reviewing the criteria for the relationship analysis paper, I decided to write about someone that has groomed me into the woman I am today. She has consistently stayed by my side through all of my triumphs and tribulations. She has continued to support every dream I have approached her with. Nevertheless, she has not agreed with every decision I have made, but she has never judged me. The woman I am referring to is my mother.…
Please bear with me if this is corny and you know I’ m weird with expressing feelings but here … So I guess you could get the credit for this, especially since you were “curved” at homecoming around this time last year and you constantly made your efforts to make sure I remembered who you were after that. You either walked me to class or called me “bae” and for real for real I liked it. Winter break (December 26th, 2014) is where this all started and I’m happy I finally sent that text asking you if you wanted to go to the movies.…
Even though I had trouble with my gratitude journal entries, I enjoyed the act of doing it and what benefits I received. Before this specific practice, I thought I was a good example of someone who had great positive emotion. Although, after my experience I realized I externalize some of my disappointments which create negative emotions. I would often think about those negative feelings while I was laying down and it would make it difficult to sleep. I would blame the traffic for being late instead of saying I should have left earlier.…
There are many kinds of things to value in this world. A cultural mobile was made to represent some of these values. Even though my cultural mobile looks like a juvenile kindergarten project made up of objects dangling from a coat hanger, my cultural mobile reflects my personal culture because the objects on it symbolize integrity, gratitude, and achievement. My cultural mobile reflects my personal culture because it symbolizes integrity.…
Promise of Persecution Christian believers are the most-persecuted religious group in the world today. In Middle-Eastern countries especially, persecution has been a prevalent topic in recent news, featuring radical Islamist groups such as ISIS. However, Christians are the subjects of persecution around the world, including in America (Hirst 10-13). The words of the Bible inform believers that “all who . . .…
Many things have shaped me into who I am today. Different events and people were sent into my life to make me the person God wanted me to be. They weren’t always happy and at the time I might not have understood why it was happening, but God knows what is best for us and we have to trust in Him to take care of us. So let’s start at the beginning.…
I am thankful for all the experiences I’ve had in life. I’ve made mistakes in life and I am grateful to have learned from them. I am thankful for having supportive family and friends. I am grateful for good food, water, shelter, electricity, religion, health, peace, and happiness. Life is a miracle and worth being thankful…
If my mom and dad would have never split up, my mom never would have met my step dad, who showed me that a man could love and care for a child as his own even if they aren’t blood. He spent time with me, bought me nice clothes and toys, and basically spoiled me my entire childhood. He always believed in me, and pushed me beyond my limits, because he saw potential in me. I do not think any less of him because he isn 't my real dad. Another reason I 'm thankful for the way I was raised, is that the home I spent most of my time at led me to believe that everything in life is easy and everyone can have nice possessions and go on fancy vacations, but I learned that was not the case.…
