LP1, Part 4: What are others' experiences of me when I am my best?

Phase 1: Creating the Reflected Best-Self Portrait
When I am at best, I help people. I motivate myself and feel motivated when I get to help others. Whether it’s a stranger, colleague, friends, or family, I feel my passion in assisting those in need. As long as it’s within my capability and moral belief that what people ask for help is ethical and legal, I give them my attention and time. I feel happy that I am able to give a hand, and I feel happy to see people become happy with the help I give them. Helping others put smiles on my face and also on them as well. I feel proud of myself that I have the power to help the others. For families and friends, I am always open for help and be supportive. I believe that if there are people out there who love to help, there will be many people who will return the helping spirit to other people.
I always try to be responsible with tasks I have been given, and also be responsible with myself. I believe it is important to have trusts and both independence and dependence to others. Being responsible is an important part of me. When I make a promise, I try my best to keep the promise because it is my responsibility. I am persistent and drive myself to bring the end result, a good result, of things I was responsible for. As an employee, I hold onto the responsibilities as an employee to provide my best in each shift, and do all the tasks given by my supervisor and managers.
It is in my best interest to never lose any reason to not smile. I try to find reasons to smile everywhere and every day, whether the reason involves weather, my job, friends, or smaller things like I woke up early for the day. So I make reasons to be optimistic, to start the day content and positive. I know that it’s important for me to stay positive and find things to be happy about.
I love having opportunities to learn new things

    Evolutionary Factor– Helping others may have inherited to our parents and it can passed along to the future generations. We help specially to those in the family or relatives or close by us. This they called “kin selection (Hamilton, 1964).” Some are friends, members of the church, and sometimes strangers. Maybe because we have seen that our parents helping those who are in need. “It is also increased the chances that you might get help later, and the chances of survival will increased.” For example: one of the family member can't be able to drive to work because for some reason, maybe something happen to the car, or the doctor recommended not to drive in a week and no one can bring to his/her work place and you are the available person to do that. And helped him/her until will go back to his/her own feet. And you are thinking that maybe someday if you are in that situation, someone will…

    Rodolfo Costa once said; “Cultivate an optimistic mind, use your imagination, always consider alternatives, and dare to believe that you can make possible what others think is impossible” (Goodreads). Remaining positive has always held an important role in my life. I strive to find positives in every negative situation, and remember that I can always learn something from it. Sometimes changing the way you view a situation can make all the difference. Even through times where I have had every reason to give up, I have chosen to keep a positive attitude. I have found that when I decide to do this, it makes me significantly happier, and I take much more away from the situation.…

    The value that I feel that underlies me to help others is my ability to put people first, as in being able to put my feeling aside so I would be willing to be there for them. For example my father was dating a woman that I felt was a woman after his pocket, she lied a lot and was a fake. But besides how I felt about her my father loved her and he knew how I felt about her, but I stood by him and was respecting his wishes. Now if she was putting him in harm’s way then I would have to step up and something.…

    To strive to get something done early every time, to never be on time or late. These are examples of what good responsibility would look like. To never go for just for the minimum to always go for above and beyond. This not only looks good on you, but your work place as well. This not only shows leadership and initiative, you portray someone who can be trusted. The ability for someone to be able to rely on you to get the assigned work to be done represents trustworthiness, which in turn will land you more responsibilities to take advantage of.…

    Throughout my life I have wanted to help others and found myself in jobs which involved looking after people. I examined my motivation for helping others; I have sometimes helped others because it made me feel useful, accepted and valued. At times in my life, I have experienced low self esteem. Therefore by helping someone, I have felt useful and valued, which has in turn increased my self esteem. This is certainly not a healthy motivation for helping others.…

    Everywhere you go you see a smile; whether it is on a billboard or person they surround us. But how many of those are genuine smiles? In the essay Why Women Smile by Amy Cunningham it is stated that women are expected to smile at all times and often these smiles are artificial. What is in a smile? Could there be something in a smile’s physiology to help us better understand a person’s motives to smile? Possibly even health benefits. There is more behind a smile than a forced expression, smiles benefit us in several ways and they are real.…

    Finally, when I moved to New Orleans I started volunteer work at the Children’s Hospital and helped with pop up clinics for the Latino community twice. Overall I found that helping others shouldn't be something seen as duty or mandatory, it should be spontaneous. Through others experiences and hardships we learn and grow as human beings, not only did I enjoy helping others but I felt that it helped me with my problems. Having moved around so much and meet so many people and living by myself so many years I came to truly be thankful for my blessings and specially for my hardships. Hermann Hesse once said, "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value." Helping others made me realize that we all need help and that my way to help others would be through their health. It also taught me not to judge anybody, especially if you don't know what they have been through. I am hard believer that everything happens for a reason, and all the weekends I spend watching my parents help others helping others myself made me the determined person that I am today. Finally, the most important lesson I learned was to never give up, no matter how hard the task is or how bad the problem is there will always be someone willing to help and you can always be both sides to that, the helper or the one who needs…

    My friends and family describe me as an upbeat, happy, and helpful person. I am only 17 years old; however, I have learned a lot with the help of my parents. I grew up in a very happy, family oriented environment. My mother taught me from a very young age that doing things for others is a very self rewarding experience. Due to this, I had a mindset early on of caring and helping others. When I was younger, and still today, doing community service has always been a family event. This service has taken the form of baking meals for families from our church, babysitting for people with a family member who is deployed, or setting up for salsa socials to bring everyone in the community together; my family has always helped others. All these events have made me who I am today.…

    Not everyone I know is keen on this. My smile has gleamed like a cheap plastic night-light so long and so reliably that certain friends and relatives worry that my mood will darken the moment my smile dims. "Gee," one says, "I associate you with your smile. It's the essence of you. I should think you'd want to smile more!" But the people who love me best agree that my smile which springs forth no matter where I am or how I feel-hasn't been serving me well. Said my husband recently, "Your smiling face and unthreatening demeanor make people like you in a fuzzy way, but that doesn't seen'; to be what you're after these days."…
