Essay About A Wonderful Life

“Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain”. This quote by Richard M. Nixon showed me that life is difficult and the only way to get out of it, I have to work hard for what I want. This research paper has helped me to see the wonderful things life has for me. The only way I can receive that magnificent life is to work toward my goals.

My first personal goal in life was to have a spiritual, loving relationship with God. I achieved this by starting prayer meetings with my family and friends every Tuesday and Thursday to build a stronger bond with each others and have a deeper relationship with Christ. Later I began to do outreaches, this is when people in a group come together to share the God’s message, and connected with people who are seeking to grow spiritually (Parachin, Victor). Sometimes I would go to their house to talk to them. After frequently attending prayer meetings I realized I was missing something. I noticed that after I would leave my family’s prayer meeting I would still make bad decisions. I still treated people in ways I know I wouldn’t want to be treated, did not think about what I said before I said it and obviously said a lot of wrong things. One time I remembered going to a friends party, and got into a fight with a girl because she said something mean to my cousin instead of talking it out with her. That then lead me to the conclusion that I have to start exercising my power of choice and make the right decisions (Parachin, Victor).

...a lot of people try to help a person by telling them to do certain things but my friends helped me by being there for me and even taking me out places so I could get my mind off of my dad. So that people don’t say the wrong stuff to me, I tell them what works, what doesn’t work for me and that I need to hear supportive useful things right now (Grenny, Joseph). One of the biggest things I tell them that doesn’t work for me is when they constantly talk about him.With the help of my friends, I was able to overcome the grief and loss of my father.

As you can see, living a magnificent life has brought me many obstacles, good and bad. To create my magnificent life I had to put all of my effort into it and I could not stop no matter what challenge came my way. I appreciate the love I receive within my job, family, and friends and I am very happy with the life I’m living.
