My activities today reflected my top values at a considerable amount. One of my good friends that I haven’t talked to in a couple of years just got engaged, and so I got in touch with her and gave her my congratulations, and received an invite for her wedding as well. I also worked out and ran two miles and I’ve also started the P90x workout, in addition to my workout that I’m still maintaining. One of my biggest goals short term is to achieve a perfectly fit, aka a ‘six pack’ body. I’m overall a health minded person with an average fit body, but I’ve always to be the best I can be physically and also I’ve been told throughout my life that my kind of people (Indians) aren’t capable of having such an ability, and I would love to prove everyone wrong one day. That is one of my driving motivations for me to attain that kind of body, and I hope to accomplish it in the near future. I know I have the capability to do so; but my biggest issue is food. I usually will eat something in the moment that I will regret later on; it usually is a result of my momentary urge and peer pressure because if my friends are eating when we’re out, I’d want to eat too. However, I’m starting to control my mindset and I hope my resistance will pay out. I know we were only supposed to select the top 5, but if I were to include wealth as well those six ideals would be goals I’d want to accomplish one day. No one is perfect; but if I could attain the best levels of these 6 values I would feel accomplished and satisfied with my life.
My family is very high standard, and one belief that I inherited from them is the ideals of karma, and to treat everyone how you would want them to treat you. I always grown up treating people even better than I would myself, and I am always respectful to everyone I encounter. However, a trait that my parents endure that I don’t bestow on me anymore is to always help others no matter what. I used to be that kind of person but I felt that I was constantly taken advantage of and being granted by some, and being disrespected in any level is my biggest pet peeve, especially if I had done nothing to deserve that. I always try to be good to be people, but now I like to take karma in my own hands, in that if someone isn’t good to me, I won’t be good to them as well. I’m aware of the “eye to an eye makes the whole go blind” philosophy, but I just feel like a lot of good people taken advantage over and are mistreated for being too good in this world and it hurts me to see that happen to others, let alone myself. So overall, my motto is to still to treat everyone how I would want them to treat me, but if I get treated bad I’ll be the same as well. I’ve been blessed to attain the values from my parents that I have today, and I hope to use them to make them proud.
