My New Year’s resolution for 2015 was to reclaim joy. Oftentimes our lives become so busy we lose touch with things that bring the simplest form of joy.
Throughout my professional life, I’ve attended motivational conferences and I’ve read many motivational books. In 2002, I was challenged to write a mission statement. My motivation came from “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey, and my inspiration from “Supercharge Your Immunity” by Norman D. Ford.
I challenge you to write your own mission statement. The following is an excerpt from mine:
- I am optimistic, hopeful, cheerful, and positive. I expect good things to happen to me for today, tomorrow, and throughout my life. I recognize that to exist is bliss, to be here is joy, and to be alive is pure happiness. Joy and bliss are my birthright, and I can experience them endlessly unless I permit a fear-based belief to influence my thoughts.
- My birthright is perfect health, protected by a vigorous immune system – plus freedom from depression, cancer, and infections. Perfect health is my normal, natural state. To achieve it, I am willing to use my mind and muscles to do whatever it takes to succeed. I am never intimidated by any minor discomfort or inconvenience or by mental or physical exertion.
