I sometimes feel like I am not getting anywhere in life and I seem to lose sight of the ultimate goal. It is quite difficult to say what I actually want to do in the future and this makes it hard for me to make decisions now in the present. However, as Joki mentioned in one of his blog posts, "Enough wrong turns can lead you to the right direction." So the important thing is to keep on moving even if it means taking the long way. Ken also said something about 'not stopping but continuing' with our work on our research papers, and I thought this was true for everything in our lives. I know I have to keep going and that is why I decided to write a personal mission statement, to guide me through times like this when I cannot seem to tell which way is forward.
So here it is...
I aspire to be kind, caring, faithful, loving, considerate of others, true to myself.
My ambition in life is to work for human welfare however small and insignificant the scale might be, serve God and everyone around me in all that I do, and contribute to making the world a better place.
I want to die knowing that I have made someone's life happy and I have spent as much time as possible being with the people I love.

Beautiful personal mission statement! Words to live by, indeed. Thanks for putting such thoughts on paper. I suggest printing them up and placing them somewhere that you can see them regularly.
