Mission Statement

Prepare yourself--this isn't my typical cynical banter, so if you're not looking for an inspirational post today, head on back to Facebook.

I'm taking a leadership class this semester and one of the assignments we have due today is our own personal mission statement. It can be in any form you want, it can say basically whatever you want it to, it just needs to express how you want to live your life. Ever since Mrs. Smith died I've been big into acrostics, probably because she was, so I figured that was a great way to get my message across.

So here's what I came up with. I need to remember and live it everyday--that's much easier said than done. And I challenge you to create one for yourself.

Seek forgiveness
Happiness is never overrated
Ask for help
Need grace
No problem is too big
Open yourself
No one can do it for you

Nothing compares to the importance of love—in all forms
Ignore negativity
Consider other perspectives
Others may hurt you, but they also will help you
Listen more
Explore who you are—challenge it

Kindness is quintessential to success
Implore others to be better versions of themselves
Never give up
Give
Energize others
Teach through action
Talk about it
