I am so behind on this! It's overwhelming, but I think it's necessary and useful to my personal growth so I'm going to try my darnedest to catch up!
Day 5: Write a personal mission statement.
So the goal here is to write a statement that takes into account all of the values from Day 3 and gives you a concise summary of what you want in your life and who you want to be. Mine is the following:
I will strive to live a life of passion and dynamic change - a life in which I pursue my interests and desires, never being afraid to step outside of my comfort zone. I will be strong enough to travel my path alone, but open enough to embrace and accept the love and friendship that others offer me on my journey. I will search for a real career path, something that I love to do, a job that I will be excited to wake up for each morning. When I lose that passion and that flame, I will move on to the next phase in my life. I want to ensure that I always balance my career with "me time" and the chance to blow off steam with some friends. I love alcohol and entertaining and being social and that should balance out the time I spend at work. I will use my organization skills and OCD tendencies to streamline my life and my finances. I want to live a life of joy and happiness - making other people laugh and laughing at myself. I will seek out knowledge - taking classes, reading books, and soaking up whatever new information I can get my hands on. I will always stress the need for balance in my life, remembering that you need the sour to appreciate the sweet. I will never take any experience for granted, even a bad one because all experiences are opportunities for learning and growth.

I am doing the challenge too! I found the challenge through you and I am behind on it as well. I am grateful that you decided to do it otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find it! I am excited so I am going to share my missionstatement with you =-)
I am a loving, caring, giving- wife, friend, and Mother. I spend my time soaking up all of the knowledge and talents I can so that I can continue to enrich the lives of those around me. I live a life filled with joy, laughter and outrageousness. The values that mean the most to me are Dreaming of the future...Learning from the world around me...and always finding something to laugh about.
@MommaSkinnyJeans - yay! i'm glad you're doing the challenge, too! I'll look for your comments on the blog.
I love your mission statement! I also want to live a life full of "joy, laughter and outrageousness" =)
