Prompt: Consider your basic belief system. Brainstorm issues that are important to you, or life principles you adhere to. Determine one core belief that you will write about.
I decided to write about the universe. In a way.
Nothing is Real
I believe that the first step in living a positive life is
surrounding yourself with positive people. I believe that there is nothing more
beneficial to your happiness than genuinely wanting to be happy, and having the
willpower to make yourself happy. I believe that a happy person will see a
happy world. I believe in the universe and I believe in being a part of the spark
that makes the world a little better. I believe in doing unto others as they do
unto you, but also treating others how you want to be treated. I believe in
being respectful to someone until they give you a reason not to be.
All throughout my
life, I have been taught to treat people with respect, and to abstain from
saying anything at all if I have nothing nice to say. If I want to be a more positive person, I need
to constantly be surrounded by people who have the same interest, or naturally
radiate positivity. Although it is important to learn to live your life without
needing to depend on anyone else, relying on others to improve your overall mood
is almost inevitable.
Many things have happened and have even yet to happen to
show me that it is time to change and to be more positive. The biggest one was
my mother passing away. I knew that the best thing I could do for myself after
this event was to completely cut out anyone who was holding me back from doing
things I enjoyed or things that would benefit me in some way. It sounds
selfish, but when I realize someone is not a good person or not a good influence,
I cut my losses and stop talking to them.
One of my biggest inspirations in the past year is a person
named Dakota Wint. He makes YouTube videos and reminds me that every single
thing in the world is temporary, time doesn’t exist, and nobody is meant to be
on this planet. So, why not enjoy your life and the people in it while you can?
Dakota Wint has influenced my view on the world and he makes it easier to be
positive. I strive to one day be as happy and as kind to Earth as he is. I met
him at a concert and bought one of his shirts from his clothing line, and the
shirt says, “We’re just creatures on a rock, homie!” He reminds me that I am
not a human being in the universe, I am the whole entire universe inside of a
human being.
People like Dakota Wint make me want to wake up every day
and live my life to the fullest, because I never know when it will end. Later
on in my life, if I have just one friend who has the same mindset as him, I will
be perfectly content. My favorite thing about the world is the people in it,
and their ability to make the best out of the life they are given. Time is
nothing more than a concept, and we are nothing more than creatures on a rock,
floating in space.
“A happy person sees a happy world, while an angry person
sees an angry world. It isn’t about what you look at; it’s about how you look
at it. Happiness is the car, not the destination. Know that you’re beautiful
and beauty will reflect and bounce back to you everywhere you go.” –Dakota Wint
“Your
own self-realization is the greatest service you can offer the world.” –Dakota Wint
"The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.” -Anaïs
Nin
I believe that there
is something divine about the moments spent with a free spirit. I believe that
there is nothing more important than to love the life you live and to live the
life you love. I believe in taking time to remember your worth and that you are
in fact alive, because not everyone is, and most people take that for granted.
I believe in being the change I want to see in the world. I believe in being as
far away as possible from people who do not have the same hunger for happiness
as I do. I believe that some people are art and some people are artists, but
few people are lucky enough to be both. I believe and I hope that one day I will
be in a position in life where I feel comfortable enough to view myself as a work
of art, while doing something to change the world, thus simultaneously being an
artist. I believe in the universe and I believe in happiness.
