We all have a life mission, something we were specifically given to benefit the lives of others and contribute to something greater than us all and the world as we know it. Do you know what yours is?
This is something I often reflect on for myself. I feel I know a portion of my mission, I don't know that I quite understand it completely, but I have begun doing something that is helping me clarify and receive direction.
Stephen Covey, and others, talk about having a mission statement. Something that summarizes who you desire to be and what you contribute to life.
For a few months I have been doing a journaling that I call diamond journaling. I was writing down what it meant to me to reach the rank of diamond in my company, Green Organics. This ranged from helping in our family finances to being a measuring stick of all the wonderful relationships I have created and the lives I have been guided to touch and assist in making a difference.
I have combined these two things and now journal every week about my mission statement that I have created. It has been a very empowering thing, and I have learned much. It is amazing what can be said or written when you allow your thoughts to flow and your pen to write.
I encourage you to prayerfully seek, if you haven't already, what your purpose or mission is in this life. What are you specifically meant to do and be here? And more importantly, are you going to follow through to do your best to fulfill that?
