What is your Essential Mission? Your Reason for Being?

[chewie]

What is the impetus that drives you? Passions, appetites, pride, greed, money, fame, pretension, unbridled aspirations and ambitions, integrity, hope, love, purpose, justice, peace.

What is at the center of my life affects my perception, and perception governs my beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. I need a long term perspective but not one that is separated from the now. I must build bridges between the ideal (spiritual, idealistic, ethereal) and the real (mundane, gritty, everday life). That is the battle. It is easier to live independently rather than interdependently. I want to live by integrity. I even want my sense of humor to be with grace rather than cynical. I strive to blend my habits (real world) with my value system (ideal). This is my essential mission: work for noble purposes and help others while guided by just principles.

This is stolen and adapted from my favorite book "Principled Centered Leadership" by Covey. This book changed my life as I probed my own soul and inculcated the material trying to make it rote. We need each other as humans and I want to improve and grow a relationship not hinder someone elses growth. It took a long time in life for me to understand that. Im a natural introvert and hardly reach out at all for anything from anyone. Its a battle to even reach out to others. But sometimes I win a battle and the war isnt over yet.

@chewie The mission is to take complete advantage of every second I have, enjoy life in a manner that is appropriate, share and do good things for family and others, accept everything without a grudge and develop a deep sense of gratitude for all I have. I don't want to squander the beautiful opportunity I call life. So when my time comes, I hope to leave the world feeling content with myself and what I’ve done while here, with no regrets, no shame and no guilt. Our times are finite, right?

[Cruwiphile]

@CruWaRKi you are alone AND with people. i was just commenting on you yesterday when the conversation moved to the genuineness of people here at TWS. Your character ( the mental and ethical qualities that make you you) shines through your profile. The force is strong with you.

Well growing up my father wasn’t very involved with my life. There but not there worked all the time and I grew to love history. After studying history I saw several honor codes emerge among societies. I studied each diligently and then pulled from each qualities that I liked. And tried to fit them into my life. Big influences was Bushido and Chivalry.

@Deathscythe principle to guide are so important. It is awesome your natural interests drew you to them.
