I believe in myself. While easily perceived as cheesy, it seems, for me at least, to a unique degree, the idea of believing in one’s self is a lifestyle that should be looked into by just about everyone. But it’s more than merely those weightless words you use to convince yourself into mustering up the courage to ride the highest roller coaster at the amusement park. It’s not about believing you can do anything you set your mind to. That’s corny. It’s actually not about you at all. In fact it’s an unwaveringly supreme confidence that everything, and I mean everything will happen how it is supposed to at the proper time. That isn’t blind faith or hopeful optimism. It’s simply acceptance. Let me explain.
Most religions will tell you generally the same thing: God, or Allah, or some all-powerful else holds the key to eternal life. He pulls the strings and calls the shots. He brought you into this world and he can take you out at His discretion. Human beings were created in the image of the Creator who gave the young humans rules to live by. Eternal life is promised to all, though there are varying levels of pleasure and pain depending on how one played their cards. If you break down every religion dating back to ancient times, there is a similar archetype that they all seem to follow. It all has to do with a high energy source (God) transferring energy to empty space (life) which uses energy to create more energy before returning back to the original energy source. It’s high school physics. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of an isolated system will never change. Perpetual motion is impossible to achieve so something or someone must be driving the bus, meaning humans aren’t simply making themselves go. I...

... intentionally to make sure that everybody was living in the best way possible.
The most important thing that would change is the way we interact with each other. Humans are all derived from the same source, regardless of your religious practice or whether or not you choose to believe my words. Because we are all energy that originated in the same place, we are all reiterations of each other. There is no difference between you and I, at a basic level. It’s the reason why humans are able to feel empathy. It’s the reason why some scientists argue the idea of a collective consciousness. It’s a fact that we are all inter-connected and the world will change for the better as soon as we understand that.
So when I say I believe in myself, I believe that the world will unravel how it will. It’s my job to control what I can control and live my life the best way that I can.
My life is governed by the beliefs of the Christian faith. The teaching of Christianity is the driving force that gives me confidence, hope and self-acceptance through God’s unconditional love. God’s love enables me in faith
The five Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto have some similarities when it comes to the their beliefs on death. Hinduism and Buddhism both believe in karma and reincarnation, while Daoism and Shintoism revolve their beliefs around nature. Confucianism chooses not to focus on things we do not know, so their beliefs on death are limited. In deciphering the different beliefs on death associated with each religion, it is important to understand the different belief systems and their origins. While some religions merged the views of the other religions, some came from the views of an originating founder. Each religion has their own view on life after death and whether or not their followers should be concerned
I think a big impact on the life of Jews would be their belief in God
Regardless what religions we are believe or practices in, the concept of life were almost the same. Depend on the particular group of believer; religions can be interpreting into word differently from one group to another. Religions are served the main purposes of life, the guideline to human behavior. Based on religion, we can learn to live our life righteous.
Oftentimes, people reach a point in their lives when they realize that they need to think for themselves and take responsibility for becoming who they are cut out to be. Whether or not they actually become that person is questionable. In Sickness Unto Death, Soren Kierkegaard argues that to become the "self" we must avoid despair and the influence of the world, and we must become what God wants us to be. In his essay, Self-Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson promotes the idea of individualism and how we must rely upon only ourselves and God to establish and support ourselves. I will first explain Kierkegaard’s idea of what it is to become a “self” then I will show the many parallels between Sickness unto Death and Self-Reliance.
There are multiple views on death and the afterlife and each view is different depending on the religion or belief that someone practices. Some religions believe in a heaven but not a hell, some believe in both and others do not believe in either. The religions that are practiced today were created by our ancient ancestors who had the ability to think beyond themselves. Practicing a religion and having an idea of death and an afterlife back in ancient times laid a foundation on how religion is seen and practiced today. Mesopotamians, Egyptians and Hindu’s created the concept of death and life after death through what they believed and practiced in ancient times.
In the Webster's online dictionary, self-confidence is defined as confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities. A famous quote by Jim Loehr says, "With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; Without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp." Confidence in yourself does not come without effort. One must believe in themselves, and not let someone change their beliefs. In the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Jane shows self-confidence throughout the novel, by possessing a sense of self-worth, dignity, and a trust in God.
In a world of change, death is the only constant; the prospect of death inspires fear in the majority of humanity. It is therefore a choice that one must take in order to adhere to the pressure of fear and truly be terrified of death as well having a miserable life. Or one could choose to live to the fullest and not care about death. The notion of death is merely an end point on the timeline of life and it is time that is so critical, that we must take advantage of the little time we have on this earth to motivate and make not only one’s self happy but help everyone around him. Whether a person is truly religious or is not religious at all we will all die eventually no one is immortal and therefore everyone should be happy and live life to its maximum
well, there would be less blood in our world, and instead more conversations, more peace
Human beings have always been curious about the meaning and purpose of life. Religions try to answer the curiosity people have about there being a higher source, typically identifying this greater domination as God. Some beliefs teach that there is only one G-d this is defined as a monotheistic religion. Some examples of monotheistic religions are Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Although each sect has a different perspective on teachings and beliefs they have one common thread; the belief in a singular deity.
According to Hill, faith is a human act of will and a gift from God, involving deep emotions and trust in ourselves and others, and requiring us to be involved with other groups and communities. As it stands today, I believe that I can place myself in the middle range of Stage 4 of faith development. However, I wasn't always this confident in my relationship with God. Until recent changes in my life, there is no doubt in my mind that my faith could be categorized only in low Stage 3. Hill points out that faith is about the human response to experience, and after several turning points in my life I agree.
What is going to happen to us when we will die? Some people never considered what it could happen to them after life. For many people, death is a redoubtable event because they do not know what to expect after their death. However, other persons, such as religious people are conscious of what to expect after their death because of their beliefs. Each religion has different ideas and different ways of looking life. Death, therefore, is viewed by different religions in many ways. Although, different religions have a distinct conception of death, they all have something in common: they all give hope to people. Among all different religions in the world, four of the most common ones - Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu- view death in different ways.
Self-confidence is very important in every area of our life. Self-confidence is a belief in your ability, skill and experience. If we lose self confidence in ourselves, we will not be able to go further in life. Sometimes I have faced some challenges about who I am and the things I do. I believe I was created for a great purpose by God, and I also believe I am an important person. I do not let anybody to treat me as if I am nothing or the way they like. When we do not know who we are, we will be misled by other beliefs or opinions. I believe in myself. I know there is the ability and power in me to become what I want to be. I do not need anybody’s comments or opinions to know who I am. I always remind myself who I am in Christ and the purpose I have made. I always stay away from individuals who put me down and shred my confidence. Similarly, I believe in doing what I believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize me for it. I do not expect people to like the things I do. When you have a confidence, you do not fear being responsible for the decisions you make. Confidence helps to know what to do when mistakes happen and in decision making. Most of the time people do not appreciate the things you do until they see the
Self confidence is how I feel about myself. It also can be described as that it is my general judgment of myself or how much I like myself. The feelings sound good to me when I put myself in challenging tasks. I have high self-confidence because my mind, including all its thoughts and ideas; my eyes, including the images of all they behold; my feelings, whatever they may be: anger, joy, frustration, love disappointment, excitement my voice, loud or soft, and all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself; my mouth, and all the words that come out of it: polite, sweet or rough, correct or incorrect; do not match to anyone here. In the entire world, there are many people who are good and bad in their self confidence, there is no one else exactly like me. There are persons who have some parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically it is God gifted only to me. I own eve...
First, let’s talk about the actual self. Actual self means how we think about ourselves and the actual characteristics we have. I am a lazy person. Every time when I take the clean clothes that have just been washed and dried back to my room, I will not fold them and put them back into the wardrobe immediately. I will leave them there for a period of time. When I have to go to bed at night, I usually put those unfolded clothes on my chair and my desk and put them back on the bed when I have to use my desk. After a week or longer, I will finally tidy up my room. So this shows that I am really lazy and that is a part of my actual
