We are what, 6 weeks into 2008 and I have already failed at my new years resolutions. Failed miserably. So I have made a decision. No more resolutions. Instead I propose to write a mission statement on what my life is going to be about this year. Sounds good, right? Lets hope that this new plan of attack works.
So here is my personal mission statement for the remainder of 2008.
To live each day with awareness, tolerance, compassion, and determination so that I may live effectively with the chronic condition that inhabits my body. I will do this by listening to myself first and foremost and then to others with a cautious ear. To take time to breathe and to not react immediately. To give others the same amount of consideration that I would like given to me.
Do you have a personal mission statement that you would like to share?
I don’t make the resolutions because if I don’t do what I set out to do, I really beat myself up about it. But I know why people do it! It’s probably a good idea. Although this year I really want to go to school, whatever that might be. I think doing the weekend massage school will be a start for me. It’s also something I’m scared to do.
Usually if I make my mind up about something, I do it. I’m scared because I’ve been feeling flakey since I’ve been sick. And then having the weekends tied up will be a little difficult. I really wanted to go to a massage school when I lived on the Seattle side of the water. That would’ve been a good time to do it, but it didn’t work out.
Now if I go, it’ll be an hour drive to this particular school….but it is doable. $7K for a 545 hour program….anyway, I got writing about a New Year FEAR and I like the sound of resolution better.
The Year of No Fear.
Jensina, what a great idea. The Year of No Fear.
Excellent Plan! Wish I had thought of it.
