i Believe Essay

I believe we should appreciate our past. We should always look back on our past of experience, growth and acceptance. Each and every day we learn better ways of living and loving.

We all have dreams. We all have goals. We all have only one life to live. We, as humans wish to live life to the fullest and to be successful. I bet that every once in a while we lay down in our beds thinking about how are lives are and what we see ourselves doing in the future. Maybe we don’t think about our far future but we think about the new tomorrow ahead of us when we wake up to a new day. Planet earth keeps on moving no matter what and that’s why we all look to the future. The future is near and it’s going to happen no matter what, so we need to live in the moment of each second in life.
But I realize that people are living too much in the future. They want this, they want that and they won’t care about anything until the day they get what they want. People are becoming more selfish of themselves that don’t live in the future nor present nor even past.
Every night when you go to bed and wake up in the morning, realize that of every second you are asleep, you fall asleep leaving a past of that early day. And the day before that and every day since you actually were brought out into this world. Every second you lived before the second you live now is your past.
Everyone has a past. Whether its a good or bad past, every one still leaves one. I believe that the past makes us who were are today and without, basically how would life be? I know that everyone makes mistakes and goes through something very tragic. We all learn how to rise above from it and we grow stronger and stronger from the mistakes we make each and everyday. Without our past, we don’t learn and we don’t have a story to think about that will make us even stronger. And even telling our stories from our past to each other, maybe give them glimpse of life and how they can handle to deal with something in their lives.
I believe it’s not true when people say to let go your past. The people and the things we all grow up with; It should stay in our hearts as long as we live because as we mature into each day, we all have something to appreciate and that is the people who made a difference in our lives and the things that make us happy. Even though it’s bad and it just breaks your heart every time you think about it, you can still be happy of where you are now and how you grew from it.
Basically our past gives us the strength, growth and acceptance we need to live life today with better ways of living and loving. We need to appreciate it even more because I believe that our past is important and it makes us who we are today.
