Sometimes our most thought provoking moments occur when we find time to record what we feel is the essence of our existence in a succinct statement.
Such statements can become our personal constitution - which is the framework for making our life-directing decisions.
I found my personal mission in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson:
'To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded'.
