Forming Myself

==‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Decisions are things you cannot just ignore. ‍‍‍‍ The longer you hide from them the harder things will become. It is better to face them head on. ‍‍Do not be afraid, for I am not because I have something amazing to use to make them. ‍‍ It is called the “Four-Way Test.” The four-way test includes four questions you will need to apply to your situation. The first question you need to ask yourself is, “Is it the truth?” Depending on what the situation may be, the truth can be looked at by asking yourself if it is true to yourself and what you believe. You also need to decide if it is truthful to society. The second thing you need to ask yourself is, “Is fair to all concerned?” Which means is your decision ‍‍‍‍fair everyone ‍‍‍‍involved in the situation. The third question you need to ask yourself is “Will it build goodwill and better friendships?” So will your decision help or gain you friendships or will it destroy your most precious ones. Last you should ask yourself “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?” Or will your decision only benefit you. These four questions can help you perform decisions in a stress free, healthy manner. ‍‍‍‍==

==Making decisions is a skill that I have improved after learning about this four-way test. ‍‍‍I make decisions in my everyday life. They have become very important in forming my character ‍‍‍. I am making a pledge to myself to use this four-way test to my advantage and use it every time I feel the need to. My decisions pilot who I will become and the paths I will take throughout this crazy adventure I plan to partake ‍‍in for about one hundred years ‍‍. I would like to make every moment worth it, for time flies by incredibly fast. I have already watched 15 of my years fly by in a heartbeat. ‍They were 15 wonderful years, thanks to my decisions that I have made to get me here. ‍ I have taken as many challenging classes to help myself get educated and I have decided to stay clear of the wrong paths. The wrong paths consist of drugs and violence, they are paths that I have decided not to meander down.==

==I plan to sculpt my life into something I can be proud of. Each time I will make a decision the course of my life will change. I ‍‍‍have ‍‍‍ to decide a career choice in the near future. I will have to ask myself what I enjoy and what can insure me a successful future. In order to decide a career choice I will have to put my choices through the four-way test. I would like to pursue a career in teaching. ‍‍First I have to consider if a teaching career would be truthful. I believe a teaching career has good morals and in fact it is a real career. ‍‍ Being a teacher is fair to everyone concerned. I would also build better friendship throughout my experience as a teacher through colleges as well as my students. Perusing a teaching career will be beneficial to all concerned. I believe I will be successful and happy and be able to provide children will a good education. This will improve my community as well as the world. I am one person and the world can become a better place one person at a time.== ==Throughout my life I will meet many different kinds of people. I respect all varieties of human kind. I have the opportunity to befriend anyone I want to. ‍‍So with many of decisions I can for healthy and happy relationships with people in my community. ‍‍Though as scary as it is, there are people that I will encounter that could push me down, and tear me apart. By using the four-way test I will be able to determine which friendships will be worth having during my journey. I already have a lot of great friends who have helped me through the worst and were there during the best moments of my life. I looked forward to future opportunities to meet more amazing souls that make life worth living.== ==Throughout life it is important that you actually have an effect on the world. An effect on the future, for we are setting the base for a new generation. I will try to make the best decisions to benefit not only me but the world. Not all of your decisions need to be about you. They shouldn’t all be about you. They should be about the good of society. What is the point of living if you are not living for something? You were given the gift of life and it is important you give back to this amazing planet that gave you resources for your existence. My smart decision making during this journey will give me the power to form my life using the four-way test.==

==My decisions have formed my character and my path for the future. I am proud of my past decisions because they naturally fit the four-way test. Now I will begin to use this test to evaluate different possibilities of decisions I will meet during my journey of life. I am excited to find out where these decisions will take me. I am also excited to know where your decisions will take you. If you use the four-way test for your, you can rest assure that it will be somewhere great!==
