Personal Autonomy

Your personal autonomy refers to your right to be self determining and your right to choose how you live your life. I believe that personal autonomy is vital for your personal growth.

As an individual I believe that one should embrace your personal autonomy in order to "know" yourself and learn from your own experiences. If you are not self determining and have no way of expressing your feelings, opinions and beliefs, how would you ever be seen as an individual? I know that each individual strives to be unique, to be different in some or other way..this is what makes you, you!

Bearnice Johnson Reagon said that life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. This statement rings very true when thinking about your personal autonomy and your personal growth. Taking charge of your personal autonomy and living life to the fullest, will ultimately make you the person and individual you are .Life’s experiences, and the mistakes you make during the course of life, will shape the perceptions and outlook you have on life, your personality and relationships and ultimately shape your being.
