Discovering Your Life Mission Pt. 1

I find that too many of us have not fully understood what is our overall purpose and mission in this earth and are not living our lives as efficiently as we could. In order to more fully comprehend the mission Christ has created me for I recently purchased a book by Laurie Beth Jones called "The Path - Creating Your Mission Statement". Laurie has written several books, including "Jesus, CEO". I recommend the current book I am reading and will be periodically posting personal reflections created from reading it and possibly quotations from the book.
  • "Finding one's mission, and then fulfilling it, is perhaps the most vital activity in which a person can engage."
  • "There are three simple elements to a good mission statement.
    1. A mission statement should be no more than a single sentence long.
    2. It should be easily understood by a twelve year old.
    3. It should be able to be recited by memory at gunpoint."
