Personal Creed Document
So i had to do this assignment for a class where I pick ten issues, or principles that I have a passion for, or believe strongly in. I wanted to share them.
-Honesty is being truthful in all things. It is crucial to live a righteous life. It is a commandment from the Lord to His children. Honesty is an important issue to me, because I am striving to be obedient.
-Family should be your best friends. They are the people you have known your whole life. They will always be your family. You can’t change that. Blood, however, is not the only form of family. You can’t see family ties- you feel them.
-Friendship, like family, should be there for you. Friendship is the step after acquaintance. Friendship is formed by finding joy in opposition or comfort in similarities in other people.
-Marriage is bringing a man and a woman together in complete union when they are in love. The first step in finding a marital companion is finding a friend! My dad says “the people you date are the kind of person that you will eventually marry.” Marriage is vital for Celestial Glory. It is somewhat frightening, but it will feel right at the appropriate time. It is a life long (and longer) commitment. DON’T RUSH MARRIAGE!
-Spontaneity is not planning, but doing things on a ‘whim’ when and where you want to. It can be fun and good, but it can be bad if there is too much. Planning is good as well- there should be a good balance between the two. I am spontaneous, but there are some things I would not do on a whim, such as getting married.
-Parenthood is having a responsibility to raise your children righteously. Something that people (for some reason) believe that I will be very good at. It’s scary, but I anxiously (but patiently) anticipate having children. Patience in parenting is absolutely necessary.
-Forgiveness is forgetting the wrongdoings that may have happened in the past. Another commandment from Jesus Christ. “Judge not lest ye be judged.” Refusal to forgive is a form of judging others. If you cannot forgive others, you will not be forgiven.
-Fun. I believe that fun is vital to living. You must manage your time in order to have ‘guiltless’ fun. It may sound cliché, but its only fun if everyone is having fun. Fun is the icing on the cake that is life.
-Self Esteem. Without it, you are not complete, but with too much of it, you are prideful. There is a perfect balance that is needed, love of your self, with a sense of humility. No one can GIVE you self esteem-they can assist, but only you can find the love for your self inside.
-Love starts with friendship. Love is selfless and it’s not something that happens to you, its something you DO. Love can be scary, because if you don’t work at it, the love can die. It’s a continuous effort that goes on forever.
The classes that I am taking this term are making me so happy. I have always had a problem with myself. I have always had a demeaning sense of non-originality within myself. I felt like I never thought for myself, and that I just copied off other people's thoughts. When I would lay in bed at night, I wouldnt think, I would just lay there and finally slip into sleep. The last week has been such a transition for me. I finally realized everything that is happening last night, and it was so overwhelming in such a good way, I got so emotional. I guess thats a good thing sometimes, right? So I feel pretty good about that.
Well, addison got off work about 20 minutes ago, so he should be calling me anytime now. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!
