My Mission

(Implementation always in process, with varying degrees of success.)

  • I will expand my knowledge and understanding of my creator through research and study.
  • I will support my family and friends and will work to earn their trust.
  • I will support organizations that help people improve themselves, avoiding those that just provide hand-outs and foster a culture of dependence.
  • I will respect others' opinions and will be open to new information and ideas, but I will stand firm in my principles -- whether popular or not.
  • I will be courteous, respectful, understanding, supportive, compassionate, and kind to everyone (including strangers).
  • I will enjoy life at every opportunity, and will create opportunities for others to have fun.
  • I will not complain about things that I don't like, but will instead work to improve the situation.
  • I will forgive myself for my own mistakes and will learn from them so that I do not repeat them.
  • I will learn from other people's mistakes, so I don't have to make quite as many of them on my own.
  • I will continue to remind myself that I'm far from perfect and have plenty of room for much-needed improvement.
  • I will not impose the expectations I have for myself onto others, but will instead let them make their own decisions about what is important.
