What I believe
Share This Essay:
I believe that life is precious
I do believe that life has meaning
I believe that each day of my life has meaning and value
Each day is a wonderful gift
Each day passed is gone forever
Each day in the future is yet to be
Today is what matters most of all
The breath that I take ,the food that I eat,the sites that i see
To make today the best day of my life,is what matters most of all.
To blank out the agonies and ecstasy of the past
To shut out the fears of the future
To be enamored by the beauty of the earth
To be overwhelmed by the enchanting sun shine
To be humbled by the enormous ocean
To be enthralled by the trees of the forest
To be touched by a smile
I believe that loving kindness can and should rule my life
I believe compassion is all important
I believe that I am no better than the forces around me
I believe in breaking barriers and not building walls
I believe in an indivisible Creator
I believe in embracing my adversary
rather than attempting to destroy them
I believe that life is a pitstop in a much longer journey
I believe in the generosity of mankind
I believe in showing love to the one who hurts
I believe that life is precious and transient
I believe that one act of kindness can change the world for the better.
I believe that the gift of life cannot be wasted
I believe that my happiness lies within myself
I believe in no tribes,no religion,no denomination,no sect.
I believe in the impermanence of life
I believe it is my moral duty to live by example
I believe in excoriating myself from the false security,engendered by material possessions
I believe that each day is a gift worth savouring
I believe that i can change myself for the better,and there by,change the world,
This I believe
