Being Happy as My Biggest Worldview

My Worldview

Everyone has a worldview, what makes up your world view is your perspective on life, what you believe in and how and where you were brought up in the world. It is not an easy task thinking about my worldview and how to simply just put it into words because almost everytime I think of something that I believe in, it makes me question that maybe that is not the right thing to think or it makes me question if those beliefs are truly my beliefs after all, but I assume this is normal and perhaps will help me in the long run in forming my true worldview. My parents had me at a young age and were not together so as i was growing up i think in a way, they were as well. I was taken care of by grandparents, aunts and uncles, babysitters etc. so I have always had a vast amount and variety of people in my life to help create my worldview, which I think is good.

As far back as I can remember, I was taught by people who were very religious, people who "believed in science" and people who would flat out tell me that god is not real so in my opinion I think this was a good solid platform to help me believe whatever i thought was right and made the most sense, and so I did. I chose science. It was different being open about not believing in a god at such a young age because in America there is a church on every corner and christianity is basically shoved down our throats. As a kid not believing in a god was definitely weird to most but it's just something i could never really do. To this day I am not going to claim I know why or how we got here, I don't necessarily believe in "the big bang" and I'm not anti-god. I have an extremely open mind to anything but one thing that won't I won't ever change my mind about is that if there is a god, he or she is definitely a scientist and this universe is their huge science experiment. Something i've always held near and dear to my heart is happiness.

Life is so short when you really think about it. 100 years, if you are lucky, but the older you get the faster that "time" flies. Instead of holding on to anger or grudges or any negative thoughts, I like to let things go. When you hold on to anger or sadness you're only hurting yourself so I believe it makes more sense to let it go. I am not saying neglect your feelings, because anger, sadness, jealousy etc happens and should be acknowledged, dealt with and learned from, it is only human nature but respecting those feelings and finding a solution is better than acting irrationally. Obviously this is not always easy and it takes a lot of mindful practice to get this mindset but once you do it is so much easier to be hapPPy and content in life. When you are happy, it is also easier to make the ones you love happy as well as do well in school, hobbies etc. A happy mind creates never ending possibilities of happiness. A few years ago my father introduced me to Buddhism.

I have never really been into religion, but as I read books on the Buddha and learned more about his teachings and way of life I realized I have been ignorant to what I thought religion was because the only religion I have ever really been exposed to was religions such as catholicism and christianity. The Buddha teaches mindfulness and being one with yourself, he did not wish to be treated or worshipped as a god. Basically this is a godless, "holy book'"-less religion focused on mindfulness and happiness, I am nowhere near the best buddhist but to this day I practice the ways of the Buddha and it has lead to me to become a better version of me and I feel I am a lot more mindful and happy Basically, my biggest worldview is to be happy and not harm others happiness. Everybody in the world thinks differently and sees the world differently so I do not think it is in my power to say what is right or wrong and I do not think it is in my power to put judgement on others. Life is short and though I am early in my life and my world view may change a billion times before I die, the one thing I do not think will ever change is my standpoint on making the most out of life, gaining experience and basically living in the moment.
