My Mission

I love my planner.  I write in it every night and refer to it multiple times throughout each day.  I should be so diligent with my scripture study.  One thing I love is that the Franklin Covey planner walks you through creating a personal mission statement.  Of course, I went through the exercise years ago when I first got a planner.  But, I have re-visited the mission statement creation a couple times since then.  Right now, I like the Mission Statement I created about eight years ago and I haven’t really altered it since. 

My Personal Mission Statement:

I do not know how long my time in mortality will be, but I hope it to be around a century.  I hope to use this 100 years to bring miracles into the world.

My first miracle will always be the miracle of Love – loving people for whom they are and for whom I know they can become.

My next miracle will be Life – I long to bring life into the world.  Through children, through gardens and through living life to the fullest I hope I will add Life to this world.

The following miracle will be Growth – learning, changing, progressing, improving, perfecting.  These will always be the mission.  So, I will push myself and those around me to Grow.

Next is the miracle of Strength – strength of mind, body and spirit that will help me and others to accept the things that come and act in a way that shows more Love.

Finally is the miracle of Freedom – I will give myself and others room to receive outside guidance and to act in a way that truly maximizes free agency.

Re-typing this mission statement has already helped me to re-focus on the goals and vision I have for my life.  Now, I must make sure it is the vision the Lord has for my life…
