Missoin Statement 2006

The New Plan 1-1-06:

A new year dawns, and instead of playing and partying to ring it in, I have decided to re form my mission statement. Previously my ‘Master Plan’ has included things like changing the way that society works, buying and selling million dollar corporations, and creating training programs that will enlighten all of mankind… well perhaps not all that, but the truth is they have been very grandiose, and far reaching. The problem is, I haven’t ever focused on any of them like a person would have to, to be able to accomplish them.

Perhaps one day those things will become important to me again. So far, apparently I haven’t had the motivation to really do anything more than develop plans and play in air castles built from my dreams. The action part just never happened. So, today I will focus on a few things that are attainable in the now, things that will allow me to better enjoy this short little slice o’ time on earth that I’ve been blessed with.

-- ---------- --------- ---------- --

My mission statement:

“I will keep work in its place. Work is a means to acquire food, shelter,
and after that, luxury. I will recognize the importance and value of
time. I will carefully consider choices that trade limited highly
valued time for, often, low value luxury. Only when the luxury is
worth the time cost, will I choose to make that trade.

I will build relationships. Relationships are either in the process of
growing or dying, it is a rare case indeed where a relationship hits a
plateau and stays there for any amount of time. There may be a limit to how many close friendships that a person can have, but I will push those limits by using the technology of this age, and by choosing to consciously and continuously reach out to others.

I will choose my reaction carefully in every situation. I have total
control over how I choose to react. That choice has a great influence
on my attitude and I choose to keep my attitude pointed in a positive
direction. Life is much more enjoyable that way.”

There! I have it, now that’s a mission statement I can live with! I like it, I am 100% bought in to that one. No list of things that I will or won’t do, nothing that I have to beat myself up over failing to achieve. It’s really something I can live by and I like it.

It summarizes easily too.
