What Is the Purpose of My Life Essay

For my visual representation, I added pictures to a map of the world to exemplify how I want to change the world. One of the ways I see the world is filled with compassion, and one way I want to add compassion to our world is by volunteering with my church and, ironically, with a group called compassion, in Chadirac, Haiti. I want to spread love to the children and city I help sponsor, and help the children know they are wanted. Another way I see the world is more sustainable, which is one of…

When sitting down to decide what my Eagle Scout Project would encompass I never thought that the choice would result in such an impact into the future. My project benefitted the Guide Dogs of Texas Organization, and through teamwork and dedication produced several light and portable PVC puppy agility training equipment (i.e, weave poles, agility ladder, and teeter-totter) and wood cabinet laundry/bedding storage. As minor as theses items may seem, these objects will continue to work to improve…

autonomy, mastery, and purpose, which is known as Motivation 3.0. Although I agree with Pink, I personally disagreed in the beginning because in some situations carrots and sticks do work, but in the end motivation 3.0 is the way to be more successful. As of right now I am going to school to become a teacher, so I feel that motivation 3.0 will factor into my life and my career. As a teacher I will be able to my own work freely as long as my work gets done and my students learn what they need to…

Anyhow, I will keep up with my work. Throughout the quarter, I learned to be a good rhetor. Our topic, teen dystopias, was meaningful, even though I did not know about this term, I knew The Hunger Games. I believe everything exists for a reason. Dystopia may not be realistic, but it has its own purpose. I certainly learned a lot. As for the second half of this quarter, our major work was the Rhetoric in Practice project along with the companion essay. I chose to do my project on…

1. What is a creation myth? What is its purpose? A creation myth is a story about the creation of the world and mankind. Each culture and religion has its' own version of how the earth was formed and for what purpose. Myth's typically include the creation of both the earth and mankind, or just one or the other. The purpose of these myths, besides to give an explanation of where we have all come from, is to enlighten those who believe in them as to the purpose of their existence. 2. Creation…

What is life? Are we just some complex organisms that magically appeared on earth? In this paper, I plan to argue the pointless existence argument by Erik Wielenberg. He simply said that life without a goal is pointless and without any goals no man/women has an eternal meaning. Basically, everyone is born just to die at some undetermined point in time; no one is predestined for anything. No matter how small or simple, everything that dwells on earth has a purpose. Life purpose varies from the…

Living a purposeful life is like a religion to some; some seek it, but the experience is different for everyone. Most people will say that without passion, purpose cannot be created. Others say that as a society we have changed what it means to have a purpose. Rarely as a society do we stop to explain what it means to live a purposeful life, or how it helps us form more fulfilling relationships with others, or why everybody should have a purpose. According to Jason Anthony, the founder of…

As I was sitting in class one day, my professor prepared to ask us a question. I centered all my theological knowledge into one area of my brain, and was ready to analyze whatever came through. I was ready. He asked, “Can God cut down a tree with a floppy fish?” Completely flabbergasted, I was unaware of what to say or think, except that God could do anything he wished, so yes. Then he said, “But wouldn’t it be so much easier with a sword.” It then occurred to me that I was the floppy fish.…

What is the goal of your College Education? Some people may think that college is about leaving home, picking a career, getting a job to make money and working for the rest of their lives. However, some of this is true, a lot of it is wrong. College is so much more than this. The purpose of a college education is to prepare you to take your place in the economy, prepare you for a full life and for lifelong learning, and to prepare you to be a Christian leader throughout the rest of…

performance-oriented and mastery-oriented (Schwartz, Barry). Depending on the subject and what I was learning, I have been both. When I was taking my high school classes, most of the time my learning was performance-oriented. I did not really care about how well I learned something as long as for the time being I could regurgitate the information well enough to get a good grade and then forget it. Most of my outside of school learning has been mastery-oriented. When doing something I enjoy, I…
