One of the major themes this year is the importance of designing your own life plan based on what is TRUE. Throughout your life, you have adopted a belief system about yourself that has defined the way you view yourself. For example, you may ‘believe’ that you are not a good writer or that you just weren’t born with musical talent. These beliefs may be viewed as true to you, but they are not truths, and, in fact, allow you to justify limiting yourself and your experiences. It is important to recognize the real truth: you can be good at anything you want, you can be anything you want, and you can change the way you view your own talents.
For this paper, identify a negative belief system you have about yourself and examine where you adopted this belief. Was it a collection of experiences or just one? Was it a person who implanted this idea into your mind? Think about where this belief system was formed and consider what boundaries you have unknowingly created for yourself. Finally, explain why it is important to recognize this false ‘truth’ now, when you are young and about to complete your last year of high school.
