  1. Taking Control Stephani Y. Gonzalez Writing 10

  2. There is a difference? Fate Destiny • Development of events beyond a person’s control, regarded as determined by a supernatural force. • Unwillingness to change • Will not apply full potential • The events that may happen to a particular person or thing in the future. • Willing to make changes. • Applies full potential. • See results

  3. Proposal • Take CONTROL! • One should change their perspective, similar to Carpe Diem Active Concentration, as opposed to fatalism if one desires to be happy. • Obtaining “Carpe Diem Active Concentration”

  4. Carpe Diem Active Concentration • “See the past from the angle of the present, which is the only and most important time in which one can exist.” • One can look back and see where changes need to be made. • “An individual who is able to concentrate on what (s)he feels and desires here and now has a greater opportunity to choose more rewarding goals that (s)he prefers or that is able to achieve.” • The results or outcomes will show how one worked hard and will expect positive outcomes. • “Assumed subjects who actively focus on the present will rarely experience negative emotions, especially fear, but they will more often experience positive ones.” Sobol-Kwapinska, Malgorzata. “Hedonism, Fatalism and ‘carpe diem’: Profiles of attitudes towards the present time.” Time & Society 22.3 (2013): 371-390. Web. 30 May 2014.

  5. Proof • Hypothesis which stated “Carpe Diem orientation and the sense of life and positive emotion experience was proved.” • These individuals provided positive emotions. Is that not what everyone desires? To be happy? • “People with ‘carpe diem’ approach display positive and open attitudes.” • Changing one’s perspective opens one’s mind. • “People fully focusing on the present time experience positive emotions rather than negative ones more frequently than hedonistic or fatalistic.” Sobol-Kwapinska, Malgorzata. “Hedonism, Fatalism and ‘carpe diem’: Profiles of attitudes towards the present time.” Time & Society 22.3 (2013): 371-390. Web. 30 May 2014.

  6. Why change perspective? • “Such an attitude towards the past releases its owner from the burden.” • This is one example how someone can change from feeling negative to positive. Individual allows to let go of all the negativity. • Will over all experience positive emotions more in comparison to “Fatalistic and Hedonistic.” • You will be able to reach short term goals. • One can focus on short term goals and these short term goals will lead up to reaching their long term goals. Sobol-Kwapinska, Malgorzata. “Hedonism, Fatalism and ‘carpe diem’: Profiles of attitudes towards the present time.” Time & Society 22.3 (2013): 371-390. Web. 30 May 2014.

  7. Opposition Opposition Solution • People don’t like change. • People do not know where to start. • Its better. Change is inevitable.

  8. How? • “Concentrate on what (s)he feels and desire here and now.” • Stay focused with the things that actually matter and require your time, effort, and focus. • “Have good concentration on activities being performed here and now.” • Stay positive in order to be positive. • Focus on the present rather than worrying on the future. It has not happened yet so why are you stressing?
