Revitalizing Your Personal Mission

Beautiful people, many blessings in the new year!!

I thought I would share my intentions with you. At my new job they encouraged us to write and share our personal mission statements in order to understand employees better. I, of course, found this exercise to be both enriching and educational. I know my values and my mission but I never took the time to list them out formally. As I began this process, I realized how powerful it was for me. I started to feel a warm and fuzzy feeling inside because I felt passionate about these values. Suddenly, having them on paper felt powerful for me. It made them real. I believe it's a good idea to ponder, grasp, convey and write out your values. In doing so, one can more readily access and remain on track with the current pulse and direction of life. For me, it's been helpful to remind myself of the things that I need to continue to work on and reinforce within my own personal healing. I see values as a map for happiness.

I challenge you to do the same. If you had to relay what you're "all about" and what your mission is, what would you say?

Below see my raw, uncut and vulnerable mission. I hope it inspires you to identify your own intentions for the new year. If we can stay true to our values, the tasks associated with those values will automatically unfold and manifest into our lives. This might be a better way to set goals for the new year rather than going at it the opposite way, which is to make a list of tasks we "should" do. I'd much rather stay aligned with my values versus tasks because value-less tasks have no leader or driving force.  My inspiration in my every day life comes from living my values and I've learned that living them, makes me so happy, which is what it's all about right? 

My Mission Statement

  

I am a healer. I am passionate about supporting the evolution and growth of individuals by nurturing them to bloom to their fullest potentials.

I believe in change. I am compassionate with all people, including myself, because I know that all people are divine, perfect, whole and worthy. I can see beyond a person’s behavior and I believe in their inherent goodness.

I value integrity. I honor all forms of communication and honest expression. I speak my truth to others with respect and love. I am mindful with intentions, thoughts, and words and am wholeheartedly interested in listening to the truths of others. I respect all truths even if they are not my own.

I vow not to judge. I recognize that pain is not personal and I give myself and others permission to make mistakes. I choose to embrace freedom without letting my mistakes define me. I lovingly teach this message to others by striving to internalize radical self-forgiveness.

I am patient and work towards selflessness. I understand that each person can choose their own destiny. I allow them to do so without internalizing their successes or challenges. I am honored to be part of the process of healing without attachment to outcome. I give myself the same respect and space.

I am passionate. I allow my joy and enthusiasm for community to shine. I share my passions and in turn, I encourage the dreams and aspirations of others by listening, learning, and mirroring unconditional positive regard.

I practice boldness. I believe in the responsibility, accountability and discipline of my craft. I allow my strengths to be expressed and I support the reinforcement of others’ gifts; even with the presence of fear and absence of certainty. I nurture the power, skill, intelligence and talents of others because I feel happy when people are at their best.

In everything I do, I will be guided by my values. I will make no apologies for them. I believe that my values and the values of others can co-exist naturally.  It is okay to be who we are. In doing so, I accept all people and situations as they are while simultaneously working towards healing by embodying it myself, and offering it to others with reverence, grace, peace and love.

And so it is.
