There are two ways of thinking about the course of your life: either it happens to you (you go along with whatever happens) or you choose to shape it the way you want it.
Too many people go through life thinking they are powerless to what happens. They spend the majority of their day doing activities they don't enjoy, are stressed about the results of those activities and then wonder why they aren't happy. We all know adults who work jobs they hate, are constantly stressed about money, rarely have time to spend with their family and walk around miserable. What many people don't realize is that they've made the choice to allow their life to be set up like this. We get to choose how our daily life is designed. To do this, however, we need to know what's important to us...what our belief system is. By understanding our belief system--our "non-negotiables" or the absolute priorities in our life--we can begin to design our day and, in turn, our lives to align with what's truly important to us. Living life according to your priorities is how one become truly happy and fulfilled. Belief systems change as we change. I suggest spending some quiet, alone time every six months or so reflecting on the following activity. Once you know your belief system, you can begin to make choices about your life to actually build the life you want to live. Whether it's joining clubs that focus on your priorities, finding friends with similar belief systems, choosing a major in college or deciding what you want your career to be when you grow up, understanding your belief system is the most important step to design your life on your terms--the way you want it.
