Personal Compass

Personal Compass

Everyone has their own values in life that help guide them through their decisions, their own personal compass. My personal compass is made up of four main points; love, dreams, friends, and my past. All four of these things connect to my life statement, “Life is the sum of all your choices”, in different ways.
            Love is one of the most important things. People who can love and get along without fighting with each other can get the most out of their lives. When people are not worrying about hating others and focus on just getting on then life becomes so much easier. If everyone can get along time is not wasted over wondering, who hates who and why others do not get along. Life is the sum of all your choices and if you choose to hate people and not accept love into your life then it makes it harder to get through. With love people do not have to worry about fights and little things that cause problems, but have no weight and meaning to them.
            Dreams are one of the most important things to have in life. They give you something to look forward to and to work for. Dreams are the thing that you live your life for, you make all of your choices so that the sum can equal your dreams. Without dreams your life can have no purpose and you just live everyday with nothing to do or hope for. Dreams are one of the points on my personal compass because I like the feeling of having something to look forward to and something to give me hope of the future being brighter.
            Friends are one of the main points of my compass because friends can help you through anything. Throughout your life they help you through all of your problems any mistakes and they are always there to have your back. Your friends are the people that you can always rely on through anything. When you need help with making choices that affect your life or just any choices that can have any pull in your life you can rely on your friends to help you through it and give you the best advice. And if those choices turn out for the worse then you still have your friends there to help you and make the wrong that you have done right and better.
            Finally my past is one of the other major points in my personal compass. Even though it is your past and you are taught to look to the future, your past teaches you about any past mistakes and helps you in guiding future decisions. All of your decisions are made in the past so that when you take the sum of all of your choices looking into the past can help you discover which choices were right for you and which ones might have been mistakes. Your past is one of the most important things to live your life by because it is what helps you learn and know what you should do in the future.

  1. Liz,
    You have some very valid moral compass virtues. What dreams do you have? Are they long term or short term? I also believe that love and friends are very important.

  2. Having 'past' as part of your moral compass is very inspiring. I believe our past makes us who we are today and we should never forget that. The past makes your improve your future. Also dreams is another great one, we all need something to strive for.
