A Mission Statement of A Christian

Hello All,

As per Dr. Covey's book - the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - the first step towards success is to create your mission statement.

Below is the mission statement of a Christian who at this writing prefers to remain in anonimity.
I think its good and can guide others as an example when writing their mission statements.
The principles starts witht the letters that form the word CHRIST but these principles are not exclusive to Christianity but rather Universal principles embraced by almost all religions and cultures.

Hope this helps!
------------------
  1. MISSION STATEMENT
My personal mission is to love God, my Family and my fellow men and be with God in His Holy Kingdom.

  1. Principles

To fulfill my mission I will live as a True Christian imbued with the following virtues:

Charity: I will love others as I love myself. I will always have empathy, praise and encourage other people and think thrice before criticizing others. I will sacrifice for my loved ones.

Humility: I surrender myself to the will of God and entrust my life unto Him. I will have absolute obedience to all of God’s commandments as written in the Holy Scriptures.

Righteousness: I am righteous. I will always do the right things as guided by the Words of God or by the wisdom I mustered. I am a Principle-centered person.
Industry: I work hard to harvest the fruits of Good Work. The harvest fields are full – I will be vigilant and work hard in doing my chosen vocation, my job, my duties in the church and strive with my best effort to bring Glory to God. I will also do the work of God – spread the good news of salvation for the time is near and we ought to save as much souls as we can. Like the farmer or the fisherman I will wake up early each day and start my activities with vigor.
Spirituality: I live in the Spiritual realm of the Universe - and realize that we are in the middle of a War between Christ and Satan – between Good and Evil. With the Holy Armor I will fight in the side of Light along with God’s children. I will win the greatest battle – the one in my own heart.
Talent Multiplication: I will multiply and expand all my talents that God has given me to serve God and for the benefit of mankind. My technical prowess, my multilingual capability, my business and human relations skills will be maximized and continuously be developed so I can add the greatest value I can to the world. And when I do so the world will grant me my just compensation and I will live in financial/economic freedom.

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow One more thought to help you diminish anger and hatred: After almost 4 decades living in this World, I have come to realize one thing --- The Law of Action and Reaction is very true in us humans. We should take advantage of this law. A person who constantly reflects and observe the things around him can master the principles of success and achieve almost up to perfection. He would think to himself - if somebody is mad at him or is criticizing him then obviously he is doing something wrong or inappropriate. Instead of getting back at that other person, he would thank him either verbally or through feelings of gratitude, and use that "reaction" as a hint to point to what could be the problem. If he is 100% sure that there is really no problem, or that is is not heading the wrong direction in life, then he can consider the fact that the criticizing person could possibly be misinformed, misled or there has been a lack of communication - and think of...

To GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy Patients and Friends

Hello my friends with GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy, I was diagnosed with GBS, then CIDP then polyneuropathy in Jan 24,2012 and I was scared that it would be the end of my life. My body weakened starting from my feet all the way up to to my hands up to the point that I needed the nurse or my brother to feed me.  Now I can walk and work normally as I did since September, 2012, for more than 2 years now. My advice to all of you my brothers and sisters is to hang on to your faith and never lose hope.  Stay positive.  Stay connected to the world - the GBS-CIDP FB forum helped me ,  my FB and twitter friends kept me strong.  The visits of my colleagues at work re-informed that I can still contribute something to this world. My mom and my brother supported me on day-to-day basis and I was very lucky to have them by my side during the visiting hours.  The rest of my relatives all over the world sent their love and prayers.  But if you have no family around- th...

Fav-Song Lyrics-004: Are you Lonesome Tonight - by Elvis Presley

Are you Lonesome Tonight ? Sang by Elvis Presley (words & music by roy turk and lou handman) Are you lonesome tonight, Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if youre lonesome tonight You know someone said that the worlds a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why Ill never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But Id rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare ...
