I Believe In Destiny Research Paper

Improved Essays
When I was five, I always wondered what was the point of living. There has to be some type of reasoning for me being here. I believe in destiny, the type of destiny where everything happens for a reason. It might not be a big reason or I might not leave earth with a big impact like Thomas Edison did when he created the light bulb. But I believe that all my actions have a reasoning for them. I may not know all the reasoning and they may not be all good, but that’s what makes life so interesting. To where there’s an action there always a reaction. I believed in destiny when I was I five years old when I was laying on my couch and I was thinking about everything that has happened to me up to that point. Granted I was only five, but if you really …show more content…
Through all the schools I’ve been to, I had the chance to help a couple of friends who were on the edge of giving up. I know this because they have told me that I was the only one there for them when no one else was. I wouldn’t have been able to help my friends If I hadn’t moved. All my friends come from different places, some have moved across the country like I have, some have lived a state over or even a county. We have been brought to meet one another through the choices that affected us. I may not at first agreed with moving out of the city, but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have been able to help my friends go through hard times. I believe you cannot control what the future has in hand for you. When two people meet they tend to believe that destiny brought them together. I believe that people are brought together to help each other. The only way they met was by making choices in their lives that led them up to meeting that particular person. There are billions of people on earth, and you just so happened to meet the right one. Destiny has a way of bringing people together or pulling them apart. We don’t know that reasoning until something happens that brings everything together making It make

Others, however, have a much more lighthearted approach, focusing on enjoying their lives as much as possible and looking for enjoyable activities to partake in. This search for a purpose in life, or existentialism, shapes our realities and our ambitions.…

    In Jeremy Fink & the Meaning of Life, Jeremy is sent on a life changing adventure, and embarks the meaning of life of it being, “the journey, not the destination”, and, “finding one’s potential and learning to embrace it”. These beliefs from Mr. Rudolph and Dr. Grady are related or similar to each other. They both lead from one to another. For example, when Dr. Grady says, “ it’s the journey, not the destination”, and Lizzy asks, “ What journey do you mean?”, “ Why, life, of course” (pg. 186), he probably means that during the journey of life that one embarks, they learn something. From what Mr. Rudolph defined the meaning of life as finding one’s potential and embracing it, that would probably be learned during the journey of life.…

    Every single day there are many decisions that need to be made. Choices that can be as little as wake up time and some that are as big as choosing which college to attend. Most people grow up making decisions based upon their own happiness or because they want to follow in the steps of one of their role models. I didn’t have any role models or someone that I wanted to strive to become. Because I didn't want to base my entire life on someone else’s, I had to learn about what drives a person and what makes someone motivated to do common, everyday tasks.…

    In his book What’s Wrong with the World, G.K. Chesterton states “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.” Chesterton does not mean that if saving lives is worth doing, we should all run around with no medical knowledge trying to save lives, or that if our room needs cleaning, it is okay to clean it poorly. What he means is that if the more important things in life are worth doing, it is okay to do them poorly because it is more important that we do them rather than not do them at all. Up until my freshman year, I was a living a life that could be summed up in a version of the quote that would say “If a thing is worth doing, I should avoid it and someone else can do it instead because I am not the right person to be doing this thing.”…

    “No matter what you do in life, it’s going to be hard so you might as well do something positive. At least you can reap the benefits in the end” (Davis, 65). This quote to me means that life is hard on its own and whether or not I choose to make something of myself can greatly impact my life. If I choose to attend school, I know that there will be some difficult times along the way but eventually when I complete school I can use what I learned to make a good life for myself thus reaping the benefits in the end but if I choose to not go to school, I will struggle to make ends meet throughout the rest of my life.

If I had to give my life, at this very moment a tag line, it would be "the better the deed, the worser the consequence".…

    We are constantly striving to search for the purpose and meaning of the things we do in our everyday lives. I believe we need reason and purpose in order to do anything, just how some need a reason or reasons to keep living, or their lives may become “meaningless”. I believe the meaning of life is to find what is true to you by using your own personal experiences and dreams. Everything you do brings meaning, even if it brings you happiness or sadness or even tragic. Either the experience is good or bad, it still has…
