My Life's Creed

I read somewhere that in order to get what you want, you have to know what you want. What is it that I realy want?? I have a vague picture of it.

But I'm not totaly lost, as I have my plans and long term goals in life. Still, I envy those people who can plan their lives as if it's a map carefully drawn in front of them, while mine is just a rough sketch full of erasures and revisions.

While cleaning up the junks in my computer, I stumbled upon one of the activities given to us when I attended a training about 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (by Stephen Covey - the Management guru!) more than a year ago.

I wish I can apply them all to my everyday life, to my everyday interaction with various people and events. I've almost forgotten about this. We were given a task to create ones life statement, a purpose of our being, a mission statement that will guide a person in making decisions, in every aspect of his life. It’s a mental plan in written form. Here’s what I’ve written. I wonder how much have I applied… lemme see...

My Life’s Creed

Be the Best Me That I Can Be

Life: I am proactive and I follow my Goals

I live my days with joy and contentment and I appreciate every li’l things

I am who I think I am and not what other people think I am

I trust people and believing in their best capabilities

I guard my thoughts

I smile a lot J

Love: I try to love unconditionally

I follow my heart but I listen to my mind

I do not fear rejection, only lost opportunities

My love is my best friend

I pamper him with everything whilst giving space to the relationship

Work: I try to work my 100% all the time

I find pleasure even when times are tough

I am trustworthy, responsible and my boss can depend on me

I try to finish what I commit w/o sacrificing quality

Family: I share what I have with them and find time to be with them

I enjoy their company as much as I enjoy being with friends

I love my mom and dad, and I know they only want the best for me

I love my brother and try to be close to him by understanding him

Friends:I find time to spend with them, enjoy laughter as well as endure hard times

My friends know me inside out

I am available for their needs

Myself:
(Physical): I exercise at least 3 times a week

I eat balance food everyday

I take a break from monotony J and loving it!

(Mental): I cultivate my mind by reading a book at least a month

I add knowledge by studying new things (once a yr)

(Spiritual): I love my God with all my heart, my soul, my life

I share my belief to people when opportunity arises

(Emotional): I write what I feel in my journal

I read self-help books when needed

I am not afraid to show emotions, but bearing in mind others feelings

I live my life by this creed. Something more but nothing less! :)

I'm actually guilty for not living up to this. I know I haven't done half of this. Take for example 'exercise', I haven't done that for months! Am I a loyal and understanding friend? I'm constantly trying to be. Have I loved unconditionally? I'm inclined to think I had. But who knows! Maybe I'm too much of a brat to be capable of falling in love. Do I follow my heart? Yes I do, but I do fear rejection as well. In the first place, how can I follow the creed when I don't have that someone in my life? Am I proactive? I don't think so. I am afraid to leave my comfort zone. And the list goes on and on.. longer than the creed itself.

This should have been my guiding principles everyday
