Went to a course the last 2 days - 7 habits of effective people. It’s really interesting, and though it did not change my life, one of the habits sort of allow me to found back what was truly important to me in my life. It was just my earlier post that I lament that I never had control over my life and I do not have an aim. Through this course, it taught me a life mission statement is not what you invent, it is what you discover. It’s been there all the while.
Alice in Wonderland asked the Cat which way she ought to go from here. The Cat asked where did she want to go and Alice reply I don't much care where.... The Cat replied then it doesn’t matter which way you go.
As we live life, we get lost and forget what was truly important to us. In pursuit of money and fame, we forget what holds truly to us. And when you get lost, even if you walk doubly fast, you do not get anywhere, you just get lost twice as fast. And so in order to constantly remind myself, I wrote a mission statement for myself. And maybe you out there reading this might want to start to think what you want in your life from today if you have not. N one can go back time and make a brand new start, but everyone can start from here and make a brand new ending.
My Mission statement
I shall embrace happiness always and laugh often, not looking at the misery but the beauty that remains. For if everyday is a sunny day, life would be dry like the desert.
Be true to myself and practise self-love, then with that, spread my care and happiness to people around me.
At the end of the day, I wish to look back at my life to know I made a difference in my life, and hopefully others.
