Control Your Own Destiny, Or Someone Else Will!

To begin with the end in mind is to visualize where you want to go in life.  To do this, close your eyes and visualize yourself in the future.  What have you accomplished?  Have you folllowed the path you've always wanted to take?  If you can't visualize yourself at those spots, then it's time to do some planning.  And hey, it definately doesn't hurt to do some planning even if you feel that you can accomplish your goals.  In fact, I recommend it.  So, let's begin!:
 
The planning we are going to do here is going to be in the form of a mission statement.  A mission statement is a paragraph, poem, sentence, group of words, or even a picture that you can look at to reassure yourself that you are on the right track in life.  To make a good mission statement you must first have some goals and ethics laid out for yourself.  Where do you stand on issues like sex, drugs and violence?  How confident are you in yourself?  Do you currently control your own life?  Think about these things and write (or draw, this is your statement right?) something that you know can help guide you if you ever veer of track.  Here's a few examples if you're stuck.  Have fun! >>>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Example 1
Make the most of my life
Yearn for what i want
Share my thoughts and feelings with my friends and family
Erase the bad times and live for the good
Love me and all around me
Fight for what I know is right
 
Example 2
 
ALWAYS STAY TRUE TO MYSELF!
 
Example 3
 
I will control my own life
Have my own ideas
And trust my gut feeling no matter what
