Focus and Create Your Life's Mission Statement

Create a mission statement for your life right now. What do you stand for? What are you about? Where is your life heading? What do you want?

Forget about what you don’t want, and FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS on what you want right now!

Sometimes it can seem as though we do not have control over our lives. We want this or that, but yet our thoughts are focused on something totally different, and on the flip side we’re feeling something else as well. When this happens, our thoughts, actions, and feelings are conflicting. And when that happens, it’s easy to feel out of control, or that life is pulling us by a string in different directions, at the same time wondering when that string is going to snap.

Understand you do have direct control over your mind, which is the strongest component we have as humans.

Read this with me:
· I have direct control over my attitude
· I have direct control over my actions
· I have direct control over what I allow myself to think about
· I have direct control over changing how I view things that may be unpleasant to my mind
· I have direct control over removing unpleasant thoughts out of my mind
· It’s okay to make a mistake, but it should not be okay for me to keep repeating the same

mistake, and not learning from it. Also, realize with mistakes can come consequences. Take it
for what it is and move on with extra positive energy.
· I have direct control over everything that goes on inside my body, sprit, and mind. Treat the

outer things as irrelevant.
· When I’m hurt or feeling low, I will always take it as a lesson learned for good or for bad and

still move on with extra positive energy.
· I am worthy to be loved, and most importantly, I am worthy of self-love

Recognize your control. Own it and live it. Follow passions.
