more to life then just making money and going with the everyday flow. Everyone has different values, look back on different moments that make them happy, and has different beliefs . You should strive to make your life as fulfilling and successful as possible. You don 't realize how important it is to live a fulfill life until its all over. It will give you something to look back and be happy that you live a life you would never trade. One of the most important things I value in life is my…
What is a meaningful life? Is it going to the movies with your best friends every weekend, having a job that brings joy to your life, or glorifying God? The beautiful thing is that to everyone the definition of a meaningful life is different and unique. What we define as significant in this life shapes our actions and even our future. My mother has lived a life full of qualities that I define as a truly impactful life. Based on the image of my mother, a meaningful life to me is defined as loving…
simple life, and the open plains. This is often what a person thinks of when they think of cowboys. However, what the often don’t think of is a cowboys strong set of morals. There are 10 of these morals which are also known as the cowboy ethics. These are simple rules by which cowboys live by, which are what sets them apart from any other walk of life. It is difficult for a person to live by all of these ethics, but any person can live by a few of them. Out of all of these morals, the one that I…
Heartbreak Whenever I was a junior in high school, I fell completely in love with my best friend. I know this sounds cliché but this experience lead to many lessons. I did not realize another human being could have such an impact on my life. Love is crazy because it is unexpected and smacks you right in the face. I did not realize this person would be my everything for the next two years. I not only learned the true meaning of heartbreak, but the complexities of love and how it can transform…
For most of my life I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was adopted by two loving wonderful parents who were converts to the church, and sealed to them for time and all eternity. I have six siblings that I love dearly. I truly love my family, and care immensely about each member. I have also gone to church for most of my life, I was baptized, I attended young womens, and seminary. I did what I was told, but I never really felt truly converted. I have a fear…
When it comes to my personal happiness I would say I am an 8-9. I have enough money to cover the basics that are needed for daily life. My children are, mostly, in good places in their lives. I have answers to what is different about my youngest boys, my oldest and I are establishing a relationship as mother/son (he was adopted by my brother and his ex-wife) and I have pictures of my dad. The beliefs I have about aging seem to all tie in together. They seem to be different heads of the same…
Who ever said life isn’t fair was a genius. Or just stating the obvious depending how you look at it. But never the less it’s true. Life has so many ups and downs; lefts and rights; you’d think it’s just one big, long, obstacle course. Of course some people have more obstacles to face than others, but in the grand scheme of things I think it’s how you face the obstacles that counts. I’ve dealt with some lows in life like depression and divorce, but I’ve also had some pretty great highs like…
in your lifetime and you have not only made this country better for me, but for everyone. Your nonviolent acts of justice are respected and so is your fight for equality. The belief that everyone should be treated equally is accepted and upheld by the majority in this country. We have begun to truly accept one another regardless of the color of their skin. Your sacrifice has changed the world for millions and holds relevancy not only to America, but also to the entire world. You not only taught…
What YOLO means to me What if you had been told you only had 6 months to live? What would you do? How would you spend it? Would you right your wrongs? Would you have regrets?What YOLO means to me is actually living every single day rather than just sitting there getting through the day. YOLO sums up living every day as though it's your last. And living this way ends up with a humble way to look back on your amazing life and adventurous decisions. YOLO is almost a philosophy telling everyone…
or “wrong and right” I cannot be sure. This split in the brain causes conflict. From what…
