Society’is formed through what we hear, see, think, and do. So isn’t that where beliefs originate? One’s beliefs can be formed with the environment they are surrounded in along with the people that are involved in their lives. Well from my perspective, that-is— where my beliefs originate. I believe in many things, like freedoms peopleand What other countries have, what is and isn’t real, and even how people should and shouldn’t act around each other. My strongest belief that I have right now though, is that everything happens for a reason because there is a plan for all of use|) believe in destiny and fate) Most people probably question the things that happen in their lives, good or bad. For me, I just accept the things that happen and realize x \ they were meant to happen that way and could take a turn forthe bettes later on of Worse with other decisions I make. oy We Fate is defined as the development of events beyond a person's control.” \! People can’t control their fate, but a higher power can. I was raised in a Catholic family, to believe in God and the Holy Spirit. I do believe in these things, that there is a place after this life, but I am not strict on my religion alone. I believe our fate is destined long before we are born; everything that happens on this Eau has Wes already been planned out and now is, us filling te due > course. I believe in fate uS Vis J is ~ ye ve WO Me divine or nah! you a a Met Sinle YOU betione in both bot 8 eedand destiny because of my religious beliefs, which were also expressed, through my family. Every time something went wrong, I would ask them why things happened, they would reply with that was God's plan Truly started t0 believe yard dj ereaily them when I lost my Grandma, I asked and sctearfied why she would be taken doessll S607 wi jo flow— aay away from me, but over the years, I have realized that that was supposed to “reasoned 4 happen.

With this as my belief, it plays an effect into my daily life every day.
