Premise: We As Humans Created For A Purpose

Premise
The most basic statement that I believe is that we as humans are created for a purpose. We have a reason for existing and we have something to accomplish in our lives. Our creator also has given us this purpose in life.
I also believe that our creator created us to have the desire to succeed. As humans we all want to succeed and we generally don’t handle failure well. Although, people see wanting to succeed as a bad thing, it is actually a good thing and makes people work harder. When people think about successful people they automatically think about someone with a lot of money like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or Donald Trump. Success can be thought as someone who is greedy if they are in business or a celebrity with a big ego.

Once we find our purpose then we will be able to live our life happily and know what we are good at. Another principle is that we have to respect other people and their purposes. We shouldn’t judge others based on what they are meant to accomplish in their life. Each person has their own individual purpose and are unique based on their purpose. My second premise is that our creator created us to have a desire to succeed then the principle is to work hard at everything. If one works hard at everything then they will succeed. Another principle is to work to improve the skills given to someone and their work ethic. If one improves the skills they already have then they will succeed. This is because everyone will get better at using their skills and become better than others with the same skills if they don’t practice to improve theirs. If one improves their work ethic then they will succeed because they will work harder than others. Everyone should always want to improve their skills in order to grow as a worker and …show more content…
The first practice is to set time aside for myself to see what my purpose is in life. Setting aside time is hard for me to do since I’m busy with school but I want to try and do this practice. The main reason I find that this is important because if I find my purpose in life then I think knowing what to do with my calling will be easier to figure out.
The second practice is to talk to friends and find out what they think their purpose in life is. If I talk to friends and find out what they think their purpose is then it might be easier to for me to figure out what mine is even though it won’t be the same as my friends. Talking to others usually helps me get my mind and ideas flowing better so I can think more clearly and reason better.
The third practice is to realize when I start to judge someone for not knowing their purpose, I need to stop and realize that we are still young and they will eventually figure it out. Not everyone will know what their purpose is while they are in high school or college. They may have an idea of what it could be but it could change because it’s not their true purpose. I haven’t quite figured out my own purpose so I have no room to judge anyone else if they haven’t figured out

    Success has powers that can take control of us in both positive and negative ways. Margaret Mead explains that success is great, it's the winning prize,but it can also affect us in many ways. She also explains that with being successful, we feel threatened by others who are more successful than us. Lastly, she says that Americans are confused with being successful and how we should react. I agree with Mead because success can come with positive outcomes,but it can also come with negative outcomes such as:/ No one cares how they get successful all they want is to get successful and how others envy others with different types of success.…

    Did you ever wonder what your purpose of living was? My philosophy has been to live life to the fullest with purpose, strength, and meaning without fear or judgement; to be involved in as much as one can. From as long as I could remember, I always had to be doing some type of activity such as dancing, playing sports, or simply learning. In addition, without being a well-rounded individual, and most evidently, student, my application would be incomplete. To begin, dancing and athletics have been the most meaningful and important aspects of my life.…

For example, at one point in the exercise, I broke ground into my own self-assessment and found insight that I was partially seeking the profession for money and for my savior complex. I felt that this observation of myself showed that I was overall, functioning normally with both healthy and minimal unhealthy motivations. Another concern that came across my mind is when I have a…
