A Creative Writing About Who Am I

Who Am I? This is a question that I should ask myself everyday. Its a question that helps me to evaluate my life, and what it means to me. In order to complete this evaluation I will split my life into three categories, spiritual, mental, and my view of life itself.

Who Am I spiritually? I would consider myself a very spiritual person. Both my parents were raised as strong Christians in the Church, and Ive been brought up the same way. Most of my younger years up to graduation, religion has played a major role in my life. It has been the foundation to which Ive based my morals.

However, after High School my spiritual life has changed dramatically. I feel more independent as a Christian, and can explore my own beliefs without feeling pressure from others within the church. My independence has driven me to study different religious views on such topics as creation, evolution, and interpretations of the Bible. My beliefs still remain the same, but I have become more open minded to other views. I am able to listen to others, and understand what they are trying to explain. My independence as a Christian has helped me to improve my education and broaden my view of other opinions.

Who Am I mentally? I am the type of person who likes to walk the walk, and take action in my life. I look at life, especially at this age, as a time to experience new things. A time to get away from the same everyday routine, and enjoy the short time we have on earth. I am the type of person who likes to set goals. Whether its to run my own business someday, or just to bring a friend back to church. Some of my goals may seem unrealistic, but it will always give me something to aim for.

If I could describe myself in two words it would have to be dedicated and relaxed. Dedication is a very important part in my life. I believe that being dedicated helps to employ good work ethics in people, which is something this world is lacking at times. Ive spent my whole life living and working on a farm. My parents made sure that I learned how to work hard for them and anyone else. These work ethics have really helped me to stress the importance of being dedicated to whatever I do. This is really important to me especially when it comes to reaching my goals. If I cant dedicate myself to my goals, then its just a wasted dream.

Relaxation is something that Im sure everyone including myself, cant get enough of. However I try to relax frequently for many reasons, including the obvious. I have my whole life ahead of me to be stressed. If I let the everyday stresses of life take control of me now, then it will most likely get the best of me in the future. Stress is still a part of my life. Without any stress at all, I would be completely irresponsible. However, I have learned to control it, and use it to my advantage.

I view my life as being very precious. I look at life as being short, and hope to make the best of it while Im still here on Earth. My Christian beliefs are what inspire me to be the person I am. I believe that God put me here for a purpose, and not to roam aimlessly without any reason. Some philosophers believe that God and religion were created for the weak. Those who just cant wait for this life on Earth to be over, so they can spend eternity with God. Whether people believe that religion was created for the weak, or not, Im living my life the way that I want too. Im learning to deal with lifes little situations, by turning them around to my advantage. Im living life as an individual, by becoming less dependant on what others tell me, and more dependant on myself. My individuality is what makes me who I am today.
