30DLBL Day 4 - The Mission Statement

“Decide upon your major definite purpose in life and then organize all your activities around it.” - Brian Tracy

My Life Purpose

Today's task, a very difficult task, is to find our life purpose and to create a mission statement in which will guide you through decision-making, day-to-day tasks, problem solving and so on. This is done through connecting with your inner self and shedding off your external self (e.g. your roles as a daughter, a girlfriend, a friend, etc.).

As mentioned, I did this the other day. I started with imposed purposes (e.g. getting good grades) and ended with lots of them being helping others grow, impacting others and achieving my highest potential. After typing 73 sentences and another 55 today in a Word Document, I have not found a mission statement that resonates with me from within. But that's okay. According to the exercise, one's true life purpose is supposed to make him/her cry because it is the time you reconnect with your inner self, and because you would've touched your core. Nothing happened to me. Right now, I have a draft and so, I shall follow it through temporarily. Life's about embracing changes, isn't it? ;D This soul searching will be a life long journey

With the list of 128 bullet points I have typed, I have drafted the following mission statements which I shall religiously follow from now on (till I find my true life purpose) =D

To do the best in everything that I pursue;
To live a life out of passion and love;
To help others grow and to discover their highest potential;
To help the underprivileged and to contribute as much as I can to the world.

The Challenge So Far

This is getting harder. It's provoking the doubts and fears I have within me. So much uncertainties. Despite spending an hour or two thinking for a life purpose, I haven't found one. That aside, today hasn't been fantastic that it's distracting me from completing the task.

Oh, yesterday I made a deal with Piggieman. There's so much negativity within the both of us and I felt that we're dragging each other down. We promised to only talk about positive things whenever we're on the phone (I will not see him for a month). Negative aura, shoo! It's a good change! Positive energy should be measured in Richter scale! Each time the Richter scale goes up a notch, the severity of an earthquake goes up in ten folds. Now apply the same theory. Imagine this, the scale represents the number of friends/family/etc. you have, and the scale is used to measure the positive energy among you. The more the people, the greater the energy level. =D Ain't I amazing to have thought of this? *syok sendiri*

And if you haven't realised, I made a bid not to write really, really negative stuff on the blog. I don't want negativity to leave its trail in my life. They come, and they go. That's it.

Feeling better already! Life gets better each day! =D
