My good friends Ben, Chris, Nick, Jason had it right with the thought of "transcendentalism". I've been fans of the band since eighth grade and was always under the impression that their album was called transcendentalism, but as of approximately 2 minutes ago, I realized that the album name is actually "Transatlanticism" which has nothing to do with transcendentalism. I hope this was an effective attention getter.
I'M A TRANSCENDENTALIST!!! Emerson's Self Relience screams me!
I believe in fate. I believe in destiny. That may not seem to be exactly what Emerson was trying to say, but I believe that it correlates. I believe that your destiny relies on the desicions you make. That's why you must rely on yourself and love yourself.
"Trust thyself": Follow your dreams and believe that you can do it! The only thing pulling you down is yourself.
Finally, I believe that people are inherently good. We are all born as babies. Environmental factors are a large contribution to cognitive development. You have no idea what this person went through as a child or what's going on in their life that makes them unpleasant now. Deep down everyone has the potential to be the best they can be; although, some were not the blessed with the flawless coming of age like many others.
