Seven values which I find the most essential of my life. I placed in them in order of importance from top to bottom. Within this paper, I shall elaborate how each of the values define my "What's, why's and how's." The goal I which to obtain is to strengthen the virtue of each of my values, to elevate my position of perfection with each value that I had listed above. The plan, similarly to the readings in lesson 4 and 5 had laid out are similar to mine. "Focus on one per week until you had perfected each value." In a paraphrased sense. Love is my highest governing value as it is essential in many of life's dealings. With love comes peace, with peace comes stability, with stability comes a quality of life. I find that love is a very important …show more content…
When we find forgiveness for the troubles of our life, and for those that have done us wrong in our journey, we lessen the burden that lingers within our hearts. Forgiveness is possibility one of the hardest values to achieve due to the frail nature of the human mind which often carries along with it the infliction of agony and pain from the past which haunts. Forgiving sets the soul free of anger, of agony, of fear, thus relieving your mind of the past and allows you to focus on the future. Comparable to the "how" of love, we have two choices when it comes to dealing with the weight of grudge and resentment...and that's to either carry that pain in your heart, or to release it and move …show more content…
Ambition sets in motion the fundamentals of success and accomplishment, because you find yourself on a journey to achieve this goal at hand. We all need an ambition which drives us from our positions of mediocrity. In all goal setting, one must picture the journey and the destination in mind prior of leaping head first into whatever they seek to do. Without a clear plan in mind, they'll be doom to go in the opposite direction, taking the wrong steps, and procedures that would had been necessary to achieve their
Life as we all know is full of disappointment and filled with disparity. Most of us are able to go through these and learn from and forgive ourselves. Yet, this isn’t always the case. People are faced with traumatic experiences that often take a long time to get over, if they ever do get over it. These experiences brew in our brain popping up at the most random points often bringing our spirits down. Although these experiences may scar us and fill us with regret and guilt, we can’t continue to live in the past and let these regrets haunt us. Self forgiveness is a key to healing and to moving on in life, no matter how hard it is.
Ambition, as per the Oxford English Dictionary, is a strong desire to do or achieve something. It is the wings that hard work requires to be successful. As said by John D Rockefeller “the man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won’t succeed, you must have a larger ambition”.
Forgiving someone is a way to release us from the pain they have brought us. Justice can just be
Ambition is a tool that can help someone succeed and surpass expectations. A person who strives to be the best at what they do has the will to work harder. Therefore, it is clear that ambition is a stepping stone to success. This quality can open many doors and can create opportunities, but seizing the moment that has been given is what counts (Source C). Someone who is truly ambitious won’t perform anything less than perfect which some may argue is harmful. Neel Burton briefly explains that pure ambition can soon become a toxic obsession; not ever wanting to fail can cause dissatisfaction which will eventually lead to severe depression and anxiety (Source G). However, failure is bound to happen to everyone, therefore someone with enough gratitude and appreciation can get over it and continue to strive (Source G).
Forgiveness is a process. You can still feel the pain, see the events behind your eyes, and feel the loss of the people around you but you have to find a way to forgive. People think that if you forgive someone you are forgetting or saying hey I would hang out with this person now because we’re cool but thats not at all what forgiveness is. Forgiveness is righting the wrong for yourself because you want the injustice you feel to leave. It’s acknowledging to that there a wrong that was done to you and you decide how you want to think about it not anyone
The motivation and tendency of people to forgive others remains an important topic of discussion. In today’s society most people at some period have experienced feeling of un forgiveness towards friend, or relatives. “Forgiveness was defined as the ability to relinquish of resentment towards others” (Baskin & Enright, 2004, p. 80).
After forgiveness comes discovery. Discovery of who we are and what we are purposed to do. The only thing stronger than purpose is love. Once we can love ourselves, for ourselves, then purpose will find us, because then our hearts will be open. When there’s purpose, you’ll be able to look at the past and see how it has made you stronger for your purpose. Your mess can become your message.
Ambition is a strong desire or drive to succeed or achieve something. It can help a person to strive at getting something they want. If someone wants something badly enough, their ambition will help them not give up until they achieve at getting what they want. But also, if a person has too much ambition, it could make that person do destructive things to get what they want and they will hurt anyone or anything that gets in their way.
This forgiveness does not absolve anyone of blame, but creates a space for future self-realization by refocusing the attention from the past to the present and future (Mahaffey).
“Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude.” Martin Luther King. The concept of forgiveness comes easily to some people but hard for others. It is a choice that every human being is faced with in one’s lifetime. Forgiveness is a deep-rooted emotion that controls the process of forgiving or being forgiven. Forgiveness requires compassion and a caring heart; it is truly a selfless act. There are many views and effects when discussing the topic of forgiveness, some of these include, the religious views as well as the positive and negative effects of forgiveness.
In most cases, people with ambition become successful in life because they are motivated by what they want to achieve. It is because of ambition that
It is one thing to let someone know that you messed up but complete healing comes from knowing that you are forgiven. Vice versa, instead of letting bitterness and anger towards others eat away at us, the best way to move on is to forgive. In some instances, our natural reaction is to exact revenge and that might provide temporary relief but it is a fact the forgiveness provides far greater healing and relief. The Sacrament of Reconciliation allows one to experience the fullness of forgiveness. This sacrament not only calls one to forgive others but to ask Christ for forgiveness, the most powerful forgiveness we can receive. It involves not only receiving the forgiveness but accepting it in our heart and allowing ourselves to be healed by the Holy
An ambition is an eager, and sometimes an inordinate, desire for preferment, honor, superiority, power, or the attainment of something. To obtain object or goal that is immensely desired. It comes from the Middle English word “ambicioun,” meaning and excessive desire for power, money or wealth. Ambition is something that everyone, no matter their age or cultural background, has instinctively. Ambition can be a driving force for success, or in some cases a road to failure. Through ambitious undertakings we can set goals and find ourselves and our God-given talents.
Scholar Robert D. Enright ,believes that “ forgiveness is not condoning or excusing, because forgiving is not downplaying or distorting what has happened as if what one suffered is something no to be taken seriously “ (2001). Forgiveness is not forgetting evil acts nor condone offense or hatred but realising that when we hold on to horror and pain of every offense, it diminishes our lives. Furthermore, we should realize that we can’t change who offended us but can only change our physical, psychological and emotional response to the offense. Besides, I made a choice to accept the impact forgiveness had on me, and that has helped me regain my sense of wholeness and restore my inner light. It is crucial to remember and learn that forgiveness can’t be put off, but must be selfless and from the heart. We should learn to forgive from most of the things that life presented to us, from anger, loss, survival and even perseverance. For reasons best known to us, we may feel that it is difficult to forgive others who deeply hurt us. We insisted that, that person is not worthy of our forgiveness. That process of continuous crossing that bridge that held you over the pains you experienced, will lead you to a life of greater peace and acceptance. Furthermore, because I had continuously stepped on it, it has carried me and connected me to another side of life that I have discovered. If you’re
Forgiveness is the act of releasing an offender of any wrong or hurt they may have caused you whether they deserve it or not. It is a decision to let go of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group of people. When we choose to forgive, we’re wiping the slate clean, cancelling a debt, or as I love to say, “Letting it go.” In the Bible, the Greek word for forgiveness literally means to “let it go.” This concept, “forgiveness,” is easier said than done. Majority of people find it very difficult to let go of offenses and hurts caused by others. I really do believe that most people desire to let it go, but we lack the knowledge of how to do it. As believers, we are instructed by God maintain an attitude of forgiveness.
