I am probably idiosyncratic, but I was struck by reading this, first
wondering if the sender's children have a mother, and second because my
credo is do the most with what I am lucky enough to have, which sounds
quite different.

Subject: Personal Mission Statement LO12878
Taking the step of defining a larger than life mission statement may
lead to some disappointments, unless you have smaller goals to be
proud of every day. I've intergrated my mission statements into a few
areas:
First I develop my own top five values or needs. Mine are:
Making a difference
My children
Acceptance,
Creativity
Learning
Next I develop the purpose of my life:
I Gary Scherling, know that the purpose of my life is to create a
positive idfference in other people's lives. I will do this by
sharing my insights and unique understandings of life, and through
continuous learning and adapting.
My Lifework is:
Help others become the best they can be, through the sharing of my
own lifeexperiences, philosophies and insights, while being attentive
of their needs and desires.
I then decided what characteristics I should display:
Creative
Helpful
Attentive
Generous
Happy
Optimistic
Honest
Studious
Passionate
Reliable and
Fun!
I read this almost evey day, continually refining it and adapting new
parts of my life. At the end of every day, I can then playback the
day and applaud myself for those things I've done that coincide with
my mission statement.
