When I was a kid life was so much fun but still all I wanted was to be an adult.

I was always fascinated by

all the great and interesting things that adults were able to do. Every year that passed I was grew more
excited because I was getting closer to being an adult. Now that I am an adult I wish I could be a kid
again. Its quite amazing how fast your opinion can change. All the activities that I can do now do not
compare to even one day as being a child. On the other hand I still enjoy being an adult and I still have a
lot to experience. My life as a child and as an adult is vastly different but still is similar in small ways.

When I was a child I was allowed to do basically anything that I wanted to do. I would go outside, play
with my cousins and friends all day long. Being a child was fun and had many positive sides to it. As a
child I never had to worry about having to work or if I had a test the next day. Life was fairly stress free.
All I had to worry about was what time my favourite cartoons to show on television. On Saturdays I
would wake up bright and early and sit in the living room in front of the television. As I would be sitting
around the house, all I could smell was my mother cooking breakfast. It was nice to have someone cook
for you, and not have to worry about feeding yourself.

It's simple to figure out what made me happy as a youngster. When I was a kid, the only thing that made
me happy was material possessions. I remember that every time I cry or want something, my parents
will go to a toy store and buy a new one to stop me from crying, or they will give me money to ease my
emotions, or they will buy me foods to calm me down, such as ice cream, fried chicken, and candy, but
at the end of the day, I will ignore it and ask for a new one because it is easy for me to get bored.  I'm
not satisfied with what I have and need more to be satisfied. I only think about myself and not others.
My definition of happiness as a youngster was very different, and while this is a normal part of growing
up, as you become older and mature, you will realize what happiness really means and how vital it is to
be really happy in life.

But when I recall all my childhood memories, there are many stories. Childhood is special for everyone.
My childhood memories have shaped me into the person I am today. There are many different
childhood memories that I can remember that really made an impact on how my personality is today.
Some memories make me happy, but others makes me grow up.

Being an adult now and mature the thing that I most value in life is happiness. It is the feeling of truly
enjoying life and the desire to make the very best of it. It helps every individual to have their purpose. In
life, we always need something to drive us and give us reason to live, no matter how big or small it may
be. Next, accepting who and what we are is also part of happiness, we cannot love others if we cannot
love ourselves, it should always start with us. In addition, I also gain happiness by giving to others,
sharing what I have and knowing the feeling of receiving something is a relieving thing. Moreover, love
in any form brings us happiness, having a great relationship with everyone, no matter who they are, they
can bring joy to us. According to Aristotle, happiness consists of obtaining all the goods health, wealth,
wisdom, friends, and many more that contribute to the fulfilment of human existence and the
prosperity of human life over the course of a lifetime. This necessitates making decisions, some of which
might be complicated. Having the four levels of happiness which are pleasure, passion, purpose, and
most importantly, Ultimate God, is the thing I most value in life since nothing can beat true happiness.
And knowing my purpose in life really hits different unlike before when I was younger and my definition
about my purpose in life is to create its own meaning. As according to Joseph Cmpbell, “Life has no
meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you
are the answer.” For me the purpose of my life, is to give and bring joy to the life of others. I want
to make a positive difference in the society we live in. I wanted my life to inspire others and give them
variety of memorable and precious experience. Also, I want my purpose not to revolve around me but to
focus on improving the life of others in giving them the best that they deserve. In conclusion, I want my
purpose in life to be able to help others to find the purpose and true meaning of their life.

Things I believe in and admire build my sense of purpose my own personal standards of behaviour .
A sense of purpose that assists me in living certain ideals. It is having a sense of belonging to something
greater than yourself and knowing that your decisions matter will lead to a profound sense of fulfilment
and long-term happiness. When I feel that my skills and abilities help me to support others and
contribute to something larger, it gives me a sense of self, accomplishment, and satisfaction. My
purpose is what drives me and motivates me to have a meaningful life. Purpose can direct life decisions,
affect behaviour, form goals, provide guidance, and generate value. Some people associate purpose
with vocation like a meaningful and rewarding job. However, what God has planned for me is my real
purpose and what gives my life a meaning.

And right now I want to achieve my purpose in life. As what I said. I hope to inspire others by living the
best life, not a luxury life but a happy life for everyone. Having a purpose in life is a great blessing but
having the courage to help others is the best achievement I would live for. I don’t want to be selfish in
this cruel world we live in rather I wanted to be a driver, motivator, an encourager who can bring the
best out of someone.

Also, for the time being, the second thing I want to do in my life is to complete my studies and become a
future financial analyst. While the future is uncertain, I am certain that I will fulfill all of my life's goals
and desires. Though it is not simple or certain, in life, no one is exempt from dilemma, but it is up to you
to figure out how you will conquer them, and I am hoping and praying that this will be the case.
