I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values - and follow my own moral compass - then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The best lesson I was given is that all of life teaches, especially if we have that expectation.
I can only say that in life when you have the greatest expectations and you try to do things the right way, it doesn't always work out.
I believe in pursuing my own morality. That is all I have ever stuck by. It is my own morality that really matters.
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.
Learning to live for others isn't something that just comes naturally to anybody. You have to train yourself to do it.
I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.
I learned that not everyone values life like we do in America, or the rights that are endowed to every human being by a loving God.
I've had to learn that not everybody does things my way. But I do expect the absolute best of everyone around me, and I'm disappointed when people don't expect that of themselves.
You never choose the way that you're raised, it's just the way that you were raised, but you do get to a certain age where you're in a position to question the expectations of you and the way that you've been formed by your surroundings.
I know I have a lot of expectations to live up to, which I need to do and am willing to do.
