My mission in life is to remember where I have been and where I will go through maintaining positive relationships with family and friends. I will choose the ethical way by making a personal commitment to honesty and integrity. I must find peacefulness within myself by looking inward while using my heart to guide my dreams and desires, and my mind to pursue knowledge, creating balance, among all of my obligations. I will grow stronger with each accomplishment, and even stronger with each setback. Also, I will content myself in my surroundings so I will always know where security lies within my life.

I believe in treating all people with the same respect regardless of race, gender, ability or disability. In relationships with my coworkers, my supervisors, and customers, I will strive to be humble, considerate, honest, kind, forgiving, and wise. I believe everything happens for a reason, and there is no better place to be than right here, right now. I will find my inner strength and overcome obstacles that hide my goals. I will build a reputation of being dedicated to every goal I choose to pursue while having stability, financial gain, and successes in both my personal and professional life. I will act as if I have nothing to lose, because in reality, there truly is nothing to lose.

Finally, I will show compassion for others in need, enjoy every moment along this journey finding laughter, love, and happiness with each day that passes. I will forgive but not forget, so as to learn from each experience. I will be guided by my values and beliefs. I will always give thanks in some measurable way each day. I believe in living each day to the fullest. I believe in a higher power, and I will let that higher power guide me whenever possible.
