My Mission

I realized that having a mission in life is really important, in life, with out a mission - we are purposeless. I do not want to live a purposeless life! I want to make a difference. This difference needs to be made in my life and the lives of people around me! So, given that no one really reads this blog. I say... put it out there. I have been brainstorming and thinking about what element really encompasses who I am as a person. At the last WATER Network meeting we talked about the four elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. We described them and thought about which one really describes our personality best. I realized that I am water. So, I wrote this shortly after:

My mission is to breathe love into everyone that I meet, to encourage growth, and inspire the people around me to believe in their selves and their dreams.

Vision Statement:
I will inspire people to not give up on themselves. Daily I will find the beauty inside of people and call it out. I am a warrior for truth and justice – In prayer I seek to break the binds of lies people believe about themselves and in my daily life I encourage others take hold of their lives and be creators of their own reality. I encourage creativity, growth, development and strengthening of other’s self esteems. I am water, smooth and fluid, all encompassing I am a part of everyone. I seek to purify imperfections and wash away dirty lies. I am calming and inspiring, mysterious and refreshing. I come to speak truth and quench the weary soul. I bring nourishment to the dry and desolate land and reconstitute the weathered soul. I am God’s love – pure and with out conditions – I flow down upon the world like a storm and rise up like a geyser. Clearing the way for new growth and life to develop all around me. I pave the way for hope. My love, like water is never lost but always changing state to suite any and every environment.

Its funny how after writing something like this it is hard not to live it. I have found myself more closely following this in the last couple of days. Even when it breaks me out of my comfort zone! Believe me it has! But, this life is a journey and every step another decision. Every moment another chance to start over! I read on this magnet at a novelty store: I hope you make new mistakes every day! ha! I do! but, at least I don't make the same ones... right? LOL.

Ok, on that note I am going to bed. Good night internet world! Until we meet again :)

Love,

Theresa
