How my beliefs impact others
Every person has different beliefs. Whether they have beliefs in religion or in what life should be like, everyone believes something different. A belief can be of a person, place, thing or idea and people can have more than one. I believe in following your dreams and not letting people get in the way of that. That is a personal belief that no person has forced me to have. My beliefs impact the people around me because by spending more time with people you begin to have similar beliefs and morals. For example having a family. When you are young and free you tend to be less responsible, as soon as you have a family you are responsible for more than just yourself which causes your morals to change. You may have believed something that isn’t appropriate for your new lifestyle. I know that in my family we have very similar beliefs and morals but none of us push them on each other. It is the same with friends. I also think that you tend to hang around the people who have similar thoughts as you so you won’t feel the need to change your own. Personally, I don’t have a problem if one of my friends thinks that what I believe in isn’t right. My beliefs are mine and no person, no matter how important they are to me, can change what I believe in.

I agree with you Miranda! Although I do think people should have their own belifs, I think weather you realize it or not your own beliefs do have impacts on others. The more time you spend with them, the more your may eventually impact others. This could be a positive or negative thing.
