Quote
“When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.” ~ W. Clement Stone |
Quotes
“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi “To discover your mission and put it into action - instead of worrying on the sidelines - is to find peace of mind and a heart full of love.” ~ Scilla Elworthy |
Reflection
We're all meaning-seeking creatures. If we plumb deeply enough into our hearts, down to the most elemental parts of ourselves, invariably we'll find a purpose - a mission, if you will - sitting firmly embedded there, a mission against which we measure the value of everything we do. Having a mission to which you're committed will perhaps influence your ability to be happy more than almost anything else. Your mission will provide you access to more power, courage, and strength than you ever knew you had. (Alex Lickerman) |

Affirmation
Why am I here and what am I here to do? What is my purpose? How do I make a difference? Today I consider that the answers to these questions are woven into the fabric of my nature, my values and beliefs, and what I am willing to take a stand for. |

Quotes
“Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you’re alive, it isn’t.” ~ Richard Bach “We are not in a position in which we have nothing to work with. We already have capacities, talents, direction, missions, callings.” ~ Abraham Maslow |
