P.L.A.Y
Many people my age live life like the acronym Y.O.L.O which means you only live once. I on the other hand, who is married with two beautiful daughters live life like the acronym P.L.A.Y. Which means to Protect my family by any means necessary, Love hard by caring and showing compassion, Ask questions to grow and understand this crazy world and last remember what Your mama said, which means the life lessons she already learned I need to keep the answers.

Protecting your family from other people or situations that may cause harm is very important, however there is a limit to how far you can go to protect family without breaking the law. Loving your family and others by showing care and compassion will result in people being honest with one another, however you must be careful who you extend your love to because people will be who they are good or bad. As we saw with the Tuskegee experiment that everyone even the government was involved in this disgraceful act. We need to ask more questions when questions are asked answers are given but until the questions comes up no one is obligated to give an answer. However like I have learned throughout life the hard way never ask a question you don’t want the answer to, but this is a double sword because even though you may not want to know the answer we sometime need the truth anyway. To sum it up my mama has given me so much life lessons that I can always fall back on to allow me to protect my family and not be misled by anyone. I believe people are born with a good heart but life creates monsters and to avoid any harm to my family I follow the acronym P.L.A.Y. I believe an action is right and only right if we continue to apply P.L.A.Y in our life and the outcome would be of our own

Having these two ethicses has guided me to the field of psychology and is still helping me.…

    Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher wrote a book called Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals that says you must live your life by abiding to a moral code, a duty that applies to every human being. Meaning that everything you do must align with what the rest of the universe would do in that same situation. That you would never be able to be rewarded for anything you do, but that what you do is to be done out of the pure goodness in your heart. That “it is not necessary that whilst [you] live [you] live happily, but it is necessary that so long as [you] live [you] should live honourably” (Kant). Are you on board to start living this type of life?…

    As I reflect on my personal life I value life itself to the point I live each day not knowing what to expect the next day. Positivity is a major factor in all that I do to the point of trying to view all things in a positive way and leaving the negativity out the door. As a mother, partner, educator, and entrepreneur I strive to be mindful, spiritual, and conscious of all my actions. I value these things because this is what makes up my life and what I live for each day. My life is a fourth generation person and I relate because I “want to live, love, learn, and leave it like a seed with balance and joy" (Covey, 73) the quality of my life is more important than planning it out.…

    The first principle which was entrenched in me was the significance of integrity, and to always express honesty with him. At an early age, my dad accentuated to me to be honest regards of what kind of mistake was done. Secondly, my father taught me to always find yourself leading and not following behind others. This principle I incorporated in my childhood, and into my adult life, any decision I choose to make is because of my choice and not because of the persuasion of others. In addition, a fervent value I carry is always giving a one hundred and ten percent to any task I am trying to accomplish.…
