6 Reflections that I have come to hold true for my life
Life is a gift
Life is truly a gift from God. When God created the world, he meant for it to be in harmony with Him. He wanted us to experience a relationship with him, happiness and love. When Jesus died on the cross, we were given victory from sin. So we can still get to enjoy life through a close walk with God. I wrote a story about a boy who discovered a fresh water river after being born into a filthy man made dam. This is true for me. There is so much to delight in the Lord and now I see life is truly a gift.
Before I used to always be like Jeremiah, cursing the day I was born. Wondering why I was alive. Thinking I was better off dead. I am glad that I have seen how wrong my thoughts were. How my torment was unjustified and how my suffering was unnecessary.
Knowing that life is a gift is helping me enjoy the joy and pains of life. Someone once said, rejoice when you find yourself in pain and suffering because out of your greatest adversity lies your biggest strength or lesson. In my pains of life, it was hard to believe this, the torment was too much but now I learn to see life as a gift and in doing so I find myself being thankful for
To be honest, I did not think that she should have divorced her husband for the Bible very clearly speaks against it. But then again what do I know. I have not read the Bible in its totality for me to be sure. I found myself realizing that we cannot please men. Today you will be up, the next day down, that is how it is with men. You will be poached to fill a position only to be taken away by handcuffs by the same people who hired you. You will be elected only to be impeached. People will forget easily what you did for them. This is why being rooted in Christ is most important. Pleasing Christ is the only thing that matters. Pleasing man, no matter who they are in your life, is

  • Reflection On Life Review

    536 Words  | 2 Pages

    This week I focused on facilitating life review for my patients. Life review required me to ask the patient questions regarding their life. It gave me a guided and goal directed method of asking personal questions about the patient’s family and social history. I used this intervention twice this week. The first time, the female patient responded well. She went into depth about her family and her social history. I learned a lot about her, and made sure that I followed along and asked questions to could help visualize her story better. She seemed to really enjoy speaking about her life, as evidenced by her smiling and continuing the conversation for about 50 minutes. My last visit with this patient was about 20 minutes, so life review may be a successful intervention with her.

  • Sixth Reflection Essay

    I came into this class under the impression that I already wrote well enough and wouldn’t need to improve. However, as I progressed through the semester I learned that there is always room to grow. The first paper I produced was not at the level I was hoping but after I actively decided to improve my writing my papers became much better. Looking back on my work in the class I wonder how much my writing has changed and where I still have room to improve. Without evaluating my work I can’t hope to become any better. Through this class I have grown much as a writer but there is still more I can learn.

  • The Good Life Character Analysis

    In the first section of his book (What You Have Received as Gift, Give as Gift) really make an impact on my views on living a fulfilled life. Everyone has a purpose and a gift on this life and everyone should know that they are somebody and everyone should know this to fulfill a good life. Everyone should work together and use our strengths to help others. God gave all of us a different and unique talent or gift and we should place that gift on others as God has done to us. When we showcase our gifts and talents, we should be grateful and show humility. We should not gloat our talents, but instead help others in order to gain a better understanding of others and the world around us. As Gula says “Gratitude is the virtue that gladly recognizes everything we have received as gifts to be shared, not possessions to be hoarded. Gratitude remembers, too, that God is the giver of these gifts” (Gula 30). My view on this is that gratitude and humility are one of the core values on living the good life because we can use these talents to gain understanding of our own self and others around us. Like God, we can use our gifts to also gain companionship, which God believes to be in reaching a good

  • Self-Reflection: Understanding Life and Its Meaning

    1734 Words  | 4 Pages

    A lot of time in life it’s good for us to just sit down and take a moment to think about our lives, to think about what we have going on and life in general. During this time of reflection we might become closer to God or just ourselves, but no matter what these times of thinking are completely beneficial for us as a whole. This is a time for us to truly reflect on ourselves as well as the world around us; this is time for us to think about how we want to live our lives. Another thing that might come up during this time of self-reflection is that we truly discover and contemplate the meaning of life and some main meanings behind it. Thomas Gray had one of these moments, he sat down in a church yard one evening and wrote to some one of the

    Allowing my nobel cause of persecution for my children to light my way of doubt and disbelief. As I met some of the ugliest human beings I hopefully will ever encounter in my entire life. The mind games, I watched and remembers and filed away as I allowed them to work ever so slightly so that I could understand better. The satire soaked words I greedily inhaled like a starving child in need of nourishment. The evil masked with kindness and desire for my attention I flirted with and teased with my girly cuteness and vulgar tongue.

  • Personal Reflection Essay: Writing A Personal Writing

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to

  • How To Write An Essay About The Movie The Lives Of Others

    1088 Words  | 3 Pages

    I have always been one to spend my time watching things that others wouldn 't think to watch. I have seen things like “The Wind Rises” by Hayao Miyazaki, “Queen” by Vikas Bahl and my favorite “Mary Kom” by Omung Kumar. From documentaries to animes, to silent films. I have dabbled in a little of everything so far. I am known to watch a few of these to pass my summer as well. So, when it came time to watch the foreign film “The Lives of Others” directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, I was fully aware of what to expect. From the subtitles to funny English accents, to sharpening my skill of being able to read the words and focus on the action at hand. You could say I 'm somewhat of an expert in those areas. Thank you anime! The movie was

  • Personal Essay: If I Am Grateful For My Life

    1171 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am grateful for my life in many ways and for many reason, I was born 5 weeks premature and one of twins. Though my twin did not survive long enough for me to know him it gave me a purpose to try new things. Whenever I am scared of a new experience such as snow-boarding I think about how lucky I am to be alive and well. This thought helps me to spread my wings and embrace the unknown. Even simple things make me feel thankful, such as running in the rain or taking a walk with my dog or just a lazy Sunday afternoon with myself makes me think how great it is to be alive and here. I have always delight in the small moments in life and to think that they could never exist for me is depressing. Furthermore, being able to share my thoughts and feeling with people I love is something that brings me great joy.

    As humans, we tend wallow in despair and self- pity when our dreams and aspirations seem to disappear into thin air before our very eyes. While it is true that we might go through catastrophic situations that are irreversible, we can also choose to have a positive outlook towards life.

I try to control the situations that are within my reach but for those that are nature adaptive, I allow nature to take its course. After all, I’m just human!
