Compose your mission statement today

In life, we all have missions we wish to complete. Once we complete a mission, there is a new one to take its place. Years ago, I took a Negotiation class during my lunch period. I was more interested in personal growth than in being involved in lunch period drama and temptation to cut classes. I had composed this Mission Statement at that time:

Mission statement:
*To succeed, to get an education.
*Take risks, break the barriers that stand in the way of getting to where you want to be.
*Be someone unique, have a profession, and to not be just another statistic.
*To give up negativity and live only for me.

What is courage?

"You must do the things you think you can't do." Eleanor Roosevelt

*Eleanor Roosevelt was the first outspoken first lady.*

"The word 'courage' is derived from the French word heart, 'couer', and etymologically it means 'the ability to stand by one's heart or to stand by one's core.' Whenever we exhibit courage, we demonstrate the healing power of paying attention to what has heart and meaning for us. Strong- heartedness is where to have courage to be all of who we are in life." -Angeles Arien

*Food for thought: With courage, we can take that extra step that makes the difference between failure and success. Do you have courage?

The purpose of this blog

I want to encourage people to be themselves. trying to please people is a very unhappy path to walk through life on. We must learn that people will never be happy, life can only be lived once, and happiness is a state of mind. The power we possess in our minds is to mold our lives into whatever shape we want is unbelievable. You will never be happy if you don't expect to be happy. Positivity is necessary, not a luxury. You cannot afford to be negative. Hope you guys enjoy reading my random thoughts.
