One life

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver "If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which way you go." – Lewis Caroll (The Cheshire Cat) “I would have cried and laughed less while watching television – and more while watching life.” - Erma Bombeck

Been tackling writing a personal mission/vision statement. I haven't managed to reach the explanation part of it (despite my prequel rambling of a thought process). This is it thus far: I will live with integrity and understanding of where I stand in relation to God. I will make a difference to the individuals around me by actively listening and putting their needs before my own. I will develop and use any means of communication that have been given to me to positively influence and impact others. I will never be content with a bystander attitude or a passive existence. I will allow myself to fail in order that I might grow. I will seek to develop my character and discover my potential but not allow it to control me. I will glorify God in all areas of life: spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. What think you?
