Before you continue to read my statement, I urge you to read my first blog that contains the meaning and the development of a mission statement. One might think it is unnecessary to do this but I believe it can help to bring us out of the ruts we often fall into in our life. It helps to give us direction and meaning to our lives and when we get caught up with all the trials and tribulations we can reflect back to the mission we have set out to achieve and it helps to put things back into perspective again.
My Mission Statement
By Ruth Smith
My life’s Song
I want to live life honestly in my relationships, business and above all within myself. When I lay down to rest at night I may do so with complete satisfaction and a clear conscience that I have lived up to my most revered virtue.
As a wife and mother I want to prove to be faithful, dependable and have enduring strength without being over bearing or smothering in any way. To give my family all the love I have to offer in every possible way.
I want to use my natural talent for wit to make people laugh and smile. I want to ease the stresses of every day living and if only for moment help people feel light hearted and trouble free.
I want to use my gift of inner strength to help others find their own strengths and help them to utilize it to the fullest so they can be everything that they could potentially be and really like themselves for who they really are and not for who others want them to be.
I indulge the right to stand strong on the values I believe in and to follow through with them in every aspect without seeming self-righteous. To be unyielding to temptations and be unwavering to things I feel are wrong.
I believe that I take control of my life and that life doesn’t take control of me.
As a caretaker of nature and animals I will do so with utmost respect and enthusiasm and enjoy marveling at its greatness. When God’s creatures are left in my care I will offer them comfort, compassion and gentleness and I will give them every opportunity to flourish and grow.
I want to approach life in an open-minded manner and be versatile when life’s courses change so that I can adjust with ease and make the transition with little effect to the people around me.
I want to use my intelligence and strong drive to be self-sufficient in my career ventures. I want to gain the trust and respect of my clients and my fellow workers and prove my worth and capabilities in my career with a high level of excellence.
I want to be less judgmental and selfish and become more patient when dealing with people and their needs. I want to be the kind of person that others would trust with their darkest and deepest secrets.
I want to feel uninhibited to laugh…loud and long at the things that tickle me but feel the freedom to cry when I need to.
Above all I want to be loved, respected, admired and remembered for being…………just me J!
