I LOVE TO LEARN The Day of Personal Mission Statement

So, granted there are things in life I just can't control. As much as Id like too-- lol. I just can't. And that is going to have to be something I will fester with perhaps most of my life...But today is about taking the opportunities in front of us an nourishing them-- The question, as Steven Covey would ask, well, what can you control, and focus on that... so lets think.... who am I as defined by my inner circle and outer...

Subject: Health
Inner: I can count carbs, exercies, join fitness circles, be thoughtful about what I eat
Outer: Ill still feel the effects of food, but all planned out carefully

Subject: Finances
Inner: I can be frugal, work hard, save my resources and buy clothing that is classic in taste
Outer: It is still a world wide recession

Subject: Career
Inner: I can identify what field I want - and preserver building contacts and like attributes
Outer: I can not hirer myself - and open a field that is not hiring.

Subject: Personal Well Being
Inner: I can make goals and keep promises to myself, let go of regrets and live in hope
Outer: This is all inner! I can do this all on my own. Christ stood with dignity in every storm.

Subject: Relationships
Inner: I can do my best to let everyone in my life know they are cherished
Outer: I can set boundaries of respect-- with realistic and individualized expectations of others.

Subject: Spirituality
Inner: I can study the Atonement and the Holy Ghost: building understanding and ability
Outer: Sometimes I will let myself down on the path to perfection. Than I will see above....

Subject: Family
Inner: I will prioritize time to see my family and find ways to serve them.
Outer: I cannot control how much others are able to give, just what I can.

Subject: Education
Inner: I have varied wildly in my interests, with a surface knowledge of many areas. I know have 7 areas of education I want to pursue as a life long academic: 1) Gospel Studies 2) Personal Finance, Self Reliance and Welfare Programs(serve with gained knowledge) 3) World History, parallels and foreshadowing 4) Books of great writers and philosophers 5) Psychology, what motivates behavior, self and circumstance 6) Domestic qualities, baking, painting and cultural arts 7) Talent acquisition, specifically, arts, dance, language, playing hymns on numerous instruments

Subject: Disappointment
Inner: when i or others let me down I can not hold onto this forever
Outer: I will experience disappointment through out my life

Subject: Order
Inner: I can maintain quality of care for all items
Outer: Sometimes a house in order is a house with peace and maybe a little clutter...but only a very little temporary clutter... I can be patient in this.

Subject: Personal Branding
Inner: I can speak to myself and with others with the Respect God has for us, and pray for that ability.
Outer: On occasion I will still find opportunities to fall down the stairs in public settings.

What do these inner circle understandings allow me to do:

See what I can do to maximize my self worth and potential
Concentrate on how I can develop myself to of greater service to others.

To be continued...
