Life Changing Experience In My Life

All my life, I have been told that I should treat others the way how I want to be treated. That I should follow the Golden Rule and treat others with the utmost dignity and kindness in order to get the same treatment in return. Although I tried to follow this rule, I often ended up breaking it. I still occasionally mistreat others to seem superior, to feel as if I am worth more in society. Almost everyone does it because they often desire superiority in their community, to feel as if they are better than others and that they are worth more. We can occasionally break the Golden Rule by treating people with cruelty and disrespect to make ourselves seem wealthier, in better social standing, or racially to others. Although we profess a belief in

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a key motto to live by.

Background - Principles and Behaviours Values gained through my personal life, experiences and education helps me in distinguishing between right and wrong. I am truly committed to my personal core values which are - integrity, excellence, humanity, responsibility and ambition. My principles are guided by two framework - (i) Rule based - consider rights of individuals, show respect, avoid using people as means for own benefit. I would treat people the way I would prefer to be treated.

RESPECT: Golden Rule - Treat others the way you want to be treated. I will always treat you with respect and courtesy; therefore, I expect that you will treat me, and your classmates, with respect and courtesy. Disruptive and unkind behavior will NEVER be tolerated in this classroom.

I applied this lesson to my life, and decided to quit following the footsteps of others and instead embrace my uniqueness and passions. I have done so by contemplating my every action, questioning if the choices I make reflect my true self, or if I am simply getting caught in what others are doing, deep down just hoping to impress the majority. As I have begun this journey of not only finding, but acting and showing others

There are many events that stand out in my life that were significant and helped me grow stronger. One of these events stands out in particular to me and had the greatest impact in my life. When I attended high school my focus was never on the academics but only on sports and having fun with my friends. I never payed attention for more than five seconds and failed to complete any type of work given to me. My lack of care for high school affected me on going to a four year college, playing a sport in college, and taking remedial classes.

Throughout my life many experiences and circumstances have developed my spiritual discernment. These experiences have molded my values, thoughts, and beliefs. My family, religion, and education have significantly affect my moral judgement. These aspects of my life has led me to define myself through an important lesson in the Bible seen in Mathew 7:12, “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” The “Golden Rule” is the foundation of the wisdom approach spiritual discernment. Horton gave this example by Michael Halleen in his article:

Every person capable of thinking and processing has a different set of guidelines and mindsets for his or her life. These guidelines tend to be words or mottos designed to help guide each individual through life and/or hardship that may arise. In the short time i’ve had in this world, i’ve been able to narrow my thoughts down to four basic principles. One: I believe i am here to learn about and experience everything this life has to offer. Two: It is important to approach new information openly, but with some skepticism. Not every piece of information presented to me will be true. Three: harm no one; there is no reason is good enough to cause suffering of any kind. Four: Remember both the unimportance and significance of every action i make.

An accident last year changed my attitude towards life . That accident had a great impact on me , it taught me to treasure what i have and to treasure those people around me more . Although the accident was not life threatening , it was still the scariest thing i had ever been through in life . It was an accident that no one would have expected and wanted it to happen .

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

A life-changing event is not something to be taken lightly. Throughout our lives, we encounter many obstacles and changes, some of which bring us joy and excitement, others of which may be hard for us to handle. When I look back on my relatively short life, it may, at first, be hard for me to think of an event that has truly molded and shaped the person that I am today. I have encountered several changes, but at the time, they felt like mere speed bumps along my path. Looking back now, it is easy for me to see that these changes were not by chance, but were placed in my path to form the person that I am today.

An accident can happen to anyone at any time. It is so unusual and it happens because of our unwillingness and careless. I have heard news about people getting car accident in radio and TV. But this time I have experienced a nightmare incident in my life. I feel that everything happens for a reason .This is why my life has changed into a different one. Our life is designed in such a way that we have to learn various information as we grow up and we will learn by doing certain mistakes. Accident can amend your life in numerous manner: Realization of several mistakes, beginning of new sort of life, and lowers the level of quality of life.

In life we all have something that has changed the way we perceive things. Most things that change a person’s perception happens to be an experience that they have gone thru and learned from. In my case it wasn’t necessarily an experience, it was a dog that changed my perception on life. My mind and heart was opened in a whole new way. I never thought I could love an animal just as much as I loved the people in my life. I always thought it was strange that pet owners loved and treated their pets the same way they treated their children. My perception on dogs or pets in general definitely changed. Throughout this paper you will see why I am a totally different person because of a dog that entered my life.

Everyone has that one experience that makes them look at life with a new set of eyes. My life changing experience happened a little earlier than most. It was the summer before first grade. We had gotten an exceptional amount of rain in the past months even though it was summer. I did not notice, though, because summer was every six year old's favorite holiday, next to Christmas and their birthday. My summer was supposed to be like any other but it quickly took a turn. For the best or for the worst? That is debatable.

Throughout my life, I’ve had many turning points, whether it’s something I could control or not. Sometimes, the decision you make can cause a turning point in your life. Whether it is a good or bad decision, it’s something you have to live with. Many times, in my life I’ve made the wrong decision, but I’ve also made many good decisions that have made my life better. The biggest turning point in my life was because of a decision I made mostly on my own.
