A few months ago I posted to Facebook about a very interesting assignment I had received in my Cultural Anthropology class. We were asked to make a list of 10 things we believed were true. Thats it, thats all the direction we received. You can imagine the vast variety or responses from each individual student. I cranked out the first few items on my list with no problem. After that, it became a mind bending task that ended up taking me a considerable amount of time to complete. In our daily lives we make many decisions about what things we do that are either good or bad. I never really stopped to think about why I thought those things however. In doing this assignment I ended up creating a sort of personal declaration of what it means to me to be a good human. I found myself wishing I had made a list like this so much sooner in my life. Right there in black and white I had created a list around which I should really be living my life. If I believe all of those things, completely and truly in my heart, then I should be living a life that reflects that. If I'm faced with a question I can now look at this list and evaluate if I really find a value in whatever conundrum I'm in. Below is the list of 10 things I believe in...
In making this list I not only saw a reflection of my own values, but I saw a reflection of my family. I know exactly why I believe these things, and who taught them too me. I love that I can see the love instilled from my family into me and the time and dedication they gave into sculpting me into who I am today. I highly encourage you to make this list for yourself. Physically write it down so you can see your beliefs right in front of your face. It's a truly eye opening experience. XOXO, Hunter
