working on my personal mission statement

I took some time to work on my personal mission statement today. It's definately a work in progress...and it's probably too long right now, but here's what I have so far:

I will live each day with a sense of passion and expectancy. I will make a choice to be enthusiastic and positive in my daily activities. I will do my best to inspire others to live with a sense of passion.

I will love my wife. I will serve her by putting her needs ahead of my own.

I will worship God with my whole life. I will ask myself these questions: Do my actions demonstrate love for God? Do my thoughts honor God? Do my words please God?

I will always seek to grow in my relationship with Jesus Christ. I will make him the center of my life. I will make decisions based on his example. I will strive to be transformed into the image of Christ.

I will strive to be authentic in my relationships.

I will honor and cherish my friends.

I will seek to find ways to serve others with a grateful heart.

I will learn what it means to truly love. I will strive to offer sacrificial love to my family, my friends, and my Lord.

I will strive to do the right thing even when others aren't watching.

I will make sure my life counts. I will make a difference.

I know, I know, all you personal mission statement gurus are going to tell me it's too long. But at least it's a start.
