mission statement

I will wake up each day and put on a smile.
I will keep an open-mind.
I may not be big and powerful, but I will make the world a better place by small and simple acts of kindness.
I will always try.
I will remember that there are little eyes out there that are looking for a role model - and I will be a good one.
I will always counteract the bad with twice as much goodness.
I will not turn away from a person in need.
I will be quick to right my wrongs.
I will manage my temper.
I will always remember to count my blessings.
I will strive to be kind to myself, to others, and to Earth.
When I fall, I will pick myself back up and keep climbing.
I will remember always that life is a gift, and there is simply no room to forget that.

Decision Making Model

THIS or THAT?

Step 1: WRITE THE DECISION DOWN ON PAPER to make it concrete and visual.

Step 2: WRITE DOWN WHAT MY INITIAL FEELINGS ARE (without asking anyone else for advice yet). I want to know what I feel and think on my own so I know that my decision is not soley based on pleasing others, etc.

Step 3: CONSULT with someone close (SPOUSE, PARENTS, Etc) and get their input.

Step 4: Revisit step 2 and REWRITE any NEW FEELINGS or OPTIONS or IDEAS and PROS/CONS. Ask myself "What's the worst that could happen?" After I figure out this, things usually aren't so unknown and scary.

Step 5: SLEEP ON IT if possible for a few days (I usually get excited about stuff and later think it's totally dumb, so this is so important for me)

Step 6: PICK A DECISION, and decide to learn from it even if it ends up not working out.
