CHAPTER ONE In chapter one, Siddhartha learned that the love of his family would not always be enough to satisfy him. In order for him to lead a fulfilling life, he must venture out on his own and discover what really makes him happy, and what his life’s purpose is. In my life, I’ve learned that if your heart tells you that something you’re doing is morally wrong, do not do it by any means. I’ve been in way too many situations where I’ve regretted not listening to what my heart had to tell me. If you feel that something you’re doing could possibly be wrong, it is best to stop what you’re doing a really think about your choices CHAPTER TWO In chapter two, Siddhartha learned the ways of the Samanas, which is the group he chose to follow.
It is important to keep a balance of the important things in one’s life otherwise, weaknesses can be developed that shadows over a person’s natural strength to prioritize. A balance of the important things in one’s life is what allows personal success to be achieved. Successfulness is the ability to seize new opportunities and explore new paths in life. Balance is the key to success because when there is balance in one’s life there is a cut back of stress, which makes room for the ability to thrive; and a person’s ability to thrive is what carries them to their personal success. To be successful is to understand what is important to you, to recognize your weaknesses without hiding behind them, to strive for balance as well as open new doors in life.
My belief is to have a aim in life, and work towards it, whether it be a aim in life to work towards, whether it be higher qualifications to better my job prospects or working towards bettering my career path, each is a great belief for me to acheive as this will be beneficial to my children and improve my way of life. While my Values and Beliefs are important to me I appreciate that not everyone values the same qualities. While it has not been an issue in my current position I could say that I may have less empathy or patience for people who are more work shy or don't work to my standard. It is important that i dont allow my beliefs and values to place a strain on my relationships with both colleauges and service users. Working in the Health sector, you are most likely to come accross people with views you dont agree with and some people wont understand your point of view.
Self reflection is also knowing that I may need professional development in an area. This is needed so that I can be able to show unconditional positive regard, a non judgemental attitude and to be able to show empathy. Therefore it is important that I take time out to reflect in my performance and development. Self awareness can also be done in supervision or through peers. It helps to keep one’s mind fresh and with new ideas on how to deal with issues which I face during my sessions with a client.
I have to always be aware of these standards, and understand the impact on people, if I don’t work towards them. Reflecting on standards, gives me the chance to keep up to date, with any new standards. 1.4. My own values and beliefs could affect the job I do, within my role if I don’t have an awareness of my own values. I could find it hard to accept other staff members values and beliefs, and feel mine are the right ones.
My fears for the course are that I discover some things about myself that I may not like but I suppose it is all about self discovery as well. I hope that the course will help me to further myself in my life and also me personally. I hope to achieve a new more confident me, that doesn’t shy away from confrontation and is able to speak my mind in a clear and concise manner.
I am neutral on my results of the future portion of the survey. Future-focused people are very driven, centered around objectives, and fond on making schedules. They have a reasonable thought of where they need to get in life and spend the present working towards accomplishing their objectives. I have future goals that I want to complete and spend every moment I have working towards completing it. Then again, I do not work as indicated by agendas and in order to start achieving my goals, I need to be highly motivated.
We were all taught that if we strive for what we seek, we eventually will succeed. The JROTC program showed me leadership, better communication skills, and being loyal and patriotic. Though it was a scary experience in the beginning, I eventually met my expectations. It also showed me that we sometimes think negatively about some things because we may not know where it might lead us. The quote, “Don’t let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game,” is what spurred me to continue in this program without fearing anything, until I was able to achieve success.
If there is zero chance of the outcome swaying in your direction then at some points you might as well give up. Living with this philosophy will get you nowhere though, because if you always give up early then you may not know how it could have ended. For example if you simply will not win a court case because there is hard evidence of the defendant being guilty, then it might be acceptable for you to call it quits. This could make sense because, if you could spend your time doing something more productive with your time instead of wasting it on a lost cause. You never know how something will end; you must always wait it out till the end.
Perseverance to me is committing to strive for better despite the road, setbacks or shortcomings that are before me. Not allowing anything to undermine me as an individual or stop me from achieving what I am striving for. It can be
