“Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.”
-Nikki Giovanni
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
It’s not uncommon to wake up feeling not quite yourself. Perhaps, you can’t pinpoint a particular cause. There is not a specific event that happened but you find yourself in a continuous loop, going through the the motions... On autopilot... Surviving, yet feeling unfulfilled. You know there is more to life than this.
Iyanla Vanzant shares. in her book, Acts of Faith; “Actually, what we may be longing for is a personal mission:”
When you have a mission, you have a core passion that gives you vision.
With the vision of your mission, you move gracefully through your goals.
When you have a mission, you wholeheartedly embrace a task and you remain focused until the task is done.
When you have a mission, you feel valued, worthy, and respectable.
What’s your mission? Think about that for a moment... something you're passionate about... dream about... that can instantly grab your attention and focus..?
How can you share your passion, in your unique way, with those you come in contact with?
Today’s Challenge: Create a personal mission statement!
