Want to Make A Statement?



Ask yourself and your spouse this question :
"What spiritual beliefs / principles guide you?"

Most companies have a mission statement that gives people an idea of the overall goals for the organization. They are often written and re-written until they are clear and concise. The statement is often printed, distributed, posted and looked to for guidance as decisions are made. Before constructing the goals, often the organization has to determine the qualities that they will strive to have as well. A law office may want to be "honest". A hospital may want to be "compassionate". A contractor may want to be "dependable".  The qualities will govern the goals to some extent. And people inside and outside the company will begin to be influenced by spoken or unspoken beliefs/principles held by those in leadership.

You and I may not construct our own personal mission statements ( although once several years ago I was challenged to do that, and I did).  But our beliefs and principles will be revealed by the way we do things, the way we approach life : how we navigate thought, behavior and conviction in our daily lives.

Think about your own , ask your spouse about theirs. Consider creating a personal mission statement or constructing one as a couple.  Make a statement as you live your life. Determine as a couple to make that statement together!
