I'm writing a mission statement. For me. Describing my life. Well, more acturately, what I want it to be.
There are things I believe, want to do and want to be, but I'm not. The more I think about it, the more I realize it's because I don't have a clear vision of what my life should look like. I have a dream of what I want it to be, but it's one that is so distant that I don't take it seriously.
I believe that I should enjoy life. Why am I eating and drinking things that bring me little to no pleasure and don't add to my life? Why am I doing things that don't bring me pleasure or add to my (or my daughter's) life? Why am I hanging onto people who drain me?
What do I want my life to look like?
Who do I want to be?
I don't want to be rushed. I don't want to come home to a messy house. I don't want to be overwhelmed with "stuff." I don't to be stressed about money. I don't want to rush by people. I want to help those in need. I want to matter. I want to make a difference. I want to teach my daughter what matters. I want to see and experience the world. I want to live intentionally. I want to enjoy life. Every moment of it-the good and the bad.
Life is what we make it. I don't want to be living paycheck to paycheck. Living to work.
I want to work to live to enjoy life, my daughter, my friends.
I want to strive to learn new things. I want to embrace and appreciate the life I have today and not be thinking of how it can be different.
I want to be me. I won't apologize for living life the way I ought to be. I won't be brought down by the "I wishes" people give me when I share how I'm taking life by the bull horns and making it mine.
I won't say, "I wish I could do that." I'll either do it or I won't and I won't begrudge you for having that.
Now, I need to take all of that and make a sicinct mission statement.
