It is not always easy to determine the values and beliefs in which a person lives their life. Some people devote their lives to religion, or to make other people happy, and some a varying amount of things. When I was asked to determine what values and beliefs I live my life by, I had to look deep inside myself, and in doing so I have established three tenets which I live by, these being: Being a good brother and a good son, making the best out of my surroundings and situations, and being myself and not caring what others think.
I have always tried my best to be a good brother, and a good son. My parents and siblings are the most important people in my life, being a supportive brother and son to each of them is a very important aspect in my life. Whether its helping my siblings with their homework, or trying to make my mother feel better when she's down, I always do to my best of my ability to make my family happy. I have pondered why being a good brother and a good son is important to me. It is because no matter how many problems may arise in life, my parents and siblings will always before there for me providing me with support and trying to make me happy; I want to be able to feel like I can provide them with that same support and happiness that they give me. .
People may not always have the best surroundings or situations given to them, but one thing they can always do is being optimistic and trying to make the best out of things. This is an idea that I live by and apply to my life frequently. Throughout life I am presented with many things that I could easily look at negatively and in the past I often did; however not doing so and living by the idea of making the best out of things has only improved my life. .
Real happiness can not be achieved through by being or acting like someone that your aren't. Being myself and not paying attention to what others think is a moral that I live my life by making my life easier, but by overall creating a happier life for me.
