Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect and make everyone deal with you the same way.

Focused Vision

Many of us live day to day without a real sense of purpose. We know we want more out of life, but we can't seem to put a finger on exactly what it is. We believe our fate is due to a lack of career, money or the freedom to do what we want.

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. You manage to keep your head up and others notice you.

What is your mission? Is it teaching, healing, painting, driving? Perhaps it is building snowmen, counting pea pods or keeping others on their mission.

Respect your life enough to pursue a meaningful mission.

Respect yourself enough to give yourself something to do.

I Am mission-minded and focused on a goal.

Those whom the Gods would destroy, they first call promising.

The road of life is strewn with the bodies of promising people.

People who show promise, yet lack the confidence to act.
People who make promises they are unable to keep.
People who promise to do tomorrow what they could do today.
Promising young stars, athletes, entrepreneurs who wait for promises to come true.

Promise without a goal and a plan is like a barren cow. You know what she could do if she could do it, but she can't.

Turn your promise into a plan. Make no promise for tomorrow if you are able to keep it today.
And if someone calls you promising, know that you are not doing enough today.

My Life Needs A Plan Not A Promise.

Where you will sit when you are old shows where you stood in youth.

We can become so consumed with trying to make it that we never do. Unfortunately, before we know it, we are seated by age, hardened by experiences, having never realized the full value of life.

We want so much.
We try to do so much, it seems as if nothing ever gets done. The Ancient Africans knew that quality not quantity makes life precious. Its is our individual responsibility to set the standards for quality in our lives.
Do we have peace in our lives? Do we have a source of happiness in our lives? Are we living up to the standards we set for ourselves? Have we set standards? Are we committed to following our hearts desire? Are we making our dreams come true?

We must decide for ourselves what we want for ourselves while the sunshine of youth is upon us.

It is quality not quantity, that brings wisdom with age.

Dont let anyone steal your spirit.

There are times when we find ourselves at odds with someone. It may seem that our only choices are to get caught up in the situation or walk away.

The ego tells us we must prove we are right. If we walk away, the other person will win.

The ego keeps us from recognizing there is another choice. Whatever situation confronts us, we must recognize our right to be at peace. The need to be right and meet discord head on begins within. It is a need that stems from feelings of powerlessness, unworthiness and a lack of love. It shows up in life as arguments and confrontations.

When we have peace in our hearts and minds, we draw peace into our lives.

When discord and disharmony present themselves, we can stand firm.

When we let go of the need to prove to ourselves, nothing and no one can disturb the quiet and peace of our minds.

I am rightfully peaceful.

I ain't gonna study war no more...

Let us insist on peace today turning our minds away from war. There is war in our hearts, minds, body organs, and words because of the fast pace in which we live. Yet just for today, we will lay down our weapons, insisting the peace be the light and the way. Let us know today that we are spiritual beings, programmed for peace and love. Let us teach be example, demonstrating peace and love in everything we say and do. Let us know that it does not matter what other say or do. We will think in peace, speak in peace, knowing in our hearts that like will draw like. Let us know we our bound to become that which we study, so let us study peace, love and truth. If we commit ourselves to just one day of peace it is bound to feel so good, we will want to do it again.
