My mission statement is: That I will be a nice and honest person,  including  to my parents and others . This means greating them when I’m supposed to. A good person will smile all the time NOT look depressed and I will always smile at people because it is a nice thing and you know if you smile at someone they will smile back because a smile could be contagious.
            The reason why being an honest person is a good thing is because if you lie to someone that would not make them feel good and might also make them do something bad. Being nice is a good thing because if you are mean to someone they will be sad and you do not want to be a mean person. That is my mission statement.

5/5/2010 10:29:20 PM
I will always do my personal best, nothing less. By helping others, I only help myself. Never be afraid to try new things, they can only help you overcome the obstacles in your path.

"I intend"...no, that"s not right. At this point of my life, it"s "I will". There is too much at stake now, and there"s too many people relying on me, for me to only intend to do something. "I will" be the best husband, father, boss, friend and student I can be. I cannot and will not make the same mistakes I made in my youth. I"ll use my life"s experience to help me make the right choices from here on out.

I will be the best husband I can be for my wonderful wife, who absolutely deserves my entire heart and soul. She is the engine that drives our family.

Without her, I am but a shell of a man. Without her holding down the fort, while I"m away chasing down my life long dream, my journey to Black Belt Excellence would not be possible. She is more than I ever could have hoped for and I am blessed to have her as my wife and the mother of my children.

I will be the best father I can be for my three beautiful daughters, Lauren, Lindsey and Emily. I will be loving and supportive, patient and understanding, yet firm and unyielding in matters of morality and character. I will encourage my youngest two daughters to follow Lauren and myself into the Martial Arts to set upon their own Journeys to Black Belt Excellence.

I will be the best boss I can be for my crew and my department. I will continue to earn their respect every day, and to help them be the best that they can be as well.

I will be the best friend I can possibly be by always depositing my share in to our mutual emotional bank accounts. I will be honest, loyal, and trustworthy to my old and new friends.

I will be the best student I can be, and represent Team Karate Centers with honor and dignity. I will listen to and learn from my instructors without pause or reservations. I will trust that they have my best interests in mind and I will follow their program to a T. I will be an active member whenever possible within the TKC community and in other outside endeavors as well. As time goes by, I hope to become an Instructor, and to follow in the footsteps of my respected mentors.

I will take care of my health and continue on my Journey to Black Belt Excellence all the days of my life.  "I will".

I am...

As I approach the culmination of yet another year, I am immersed in an anxiety of "life is short". With that anxiety comes the question: why not make the most of it?
My Martial Arts journey started almost 20 years ago in 1991. Little did he know, a young boy was transfused with the seed of an indominable spirit. The spirit of a warrior.
Although that young warrior did not know it at the time, life"s mysterious ways would one day lead full circle and the Arts would one day be re-introuduced to him. Fifteen years pass. Now looking through more open-minded eyes, this warrior has embraced this journey and made the commitment.
Every day when we wake up, we have desicions to make. God has blessed me with another day and it is up to me to decide what I am going to make of it. Like a fresh sheet of paper in a notebook, each day brings with it the ability for one to re-write the story of their lives.
I have chosen the Journey of The Arts. As life is constantly teaching me, intriguing me, and most of all challenging me, I know that the seed of the Warrior implanted deep inside 20 years ago has given me the power and courage to adopt and adapt.
I am infinitely thankful and greatful to The Universe to lead me down this path. I am starting to see thorough different eyes.
This constant and never ending journey is a gift that no one can ever take away from me.

12/26/2009 2:07:42 PM
I will live life to the fullest. Live everyday like its my last. I will only allow positive energy into my life and do my best on not letting any negative energy cross my path. I will surround myself with positive influences and not let anyone bring me down. I will take care of ME and my family and be there for my friends by listening more effectively. I will open myself more to forgive and not hold onto to negative grudges. I will work on patience before I let anger take over.
Victories of 2009:
1. Great annual review at work
2. Learned to let go..i.e negative people out of my life and focus more on the positive
3. Trained hard to pass my Qualifier for BB Candidacy.
4. Ran my lowest time in training and pushing myself..8 min/7 seconds
5 Climbed a rope first time ever
6. Rocked climbed first time ever
7. Read a whole book and finished it.
8. Did every assignment I was assigned through BB Candidacy
9. Earned my Black Belt of 1st degree on Sept 26, 2009
10. Joined S.W.A.T
Goals for 2010
Physical - to keep myself in the best shape, eat right, train hard, inside and outside the studio, go to the gym, get my yearly checkups as always, and run so I can be ready for the following years" candidacy for 2nd degree. Learn all the forms, hopefully by mid year of 2010.
Emotional - Work on not letting people get to me where the anger stays with me for a while. I plan on reading more, joining more women"s networking/social groups through Meetup.com which I actually have started back in October but only attended 1 meeting. I plan on attending a lot more this coming year now that my schedule has lightened up.
Mental - ties in with my emotional goals where I plan to have more of a positive atmosphere of people in my life. I"ve already started eliminating a few and at first felt sad about it but I know I did the right thing and I know I will meet better people along the way, especially through network/social groups of people that share the same interests as I do.
Spiritual - I plan on starting to take Yoga classes at my gym, focus more on meditation(finding the time to sit down and actually do this), listen to motivational CD"s like Tony Robbins and much more.

12/10/2009 8:41:48 AM
When I started karate five years ago I only came to learn the techniques and how to get stronger. But as the time passed I grew out of that. I started setting goals to which I still have to fulfill. My goals are to not only be physically strong but mentally too and to become a Black Belt in the year of 2010. I made it to this point because of my loving and supporting mom and my helpful sister to help me on the way.

I will continue to make my physical health a priority and to acknowledge the little things along the way that contribute to this goal. I will learn to let go of the fear and the baggage of the past and open myself up to new horizons and experiences. My life"s journey is to prove that obstacles can be overcome and with guidance and passion I can achieve my own personal success and happiness within myself and share in that with others.

8/13/2009 2:37:11 PM
My mission in life is to be the best person I can be. I will strive harder for what is right. I will always appreciate the hard work of others and try to learn from it. I will grow off the strength and determination around me and freely dedicate myself to any new challenge. I will work hard.

6/21/2009 7:15:51 PM
At this time in my life it is my job to raise my son and lay a foundation that will support him as he grows.

My mission in my life is to be the best person that I can be. The best wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend. To do this I always try to think about others and how I can be helpful. I treat people like I would like to be treated, with respect, integrity and honesty. To me, honesty and trust are the most important things in any relationship.
To succeed in life I believe it is important to always put your best foot forward and put forth 110%. Benjamin Franklin once said Energy and Persistence conquer all things. I love this quote because it really addresses the idea of try, try and keep trying because it eventually does pay off. When you put your all into what you are doing you will succeed!

Throughout my life, I have always set goals for myself and was always determined to accomplish them, which brings me to the person I am today. Until this very day, I can not complain about my results from setting myself goals and accomplishing them. One very important motto I live by is Smile, the cameras still rolling. This may seem like nothing to many, but it has got me through some pretty tough times. What this quote represents is the act of trying, staying determined, and not giving up even if you mess up. Its always best to keep moving because yesterdays history, tomorrows a mystery, its all about what you do in the moment. You cannot change your mistakes, but you CAN learn from them, and this will benefit your own future.
My goal in life is to act as a role model by doing what I do, and learning from my mistakes. I want to be able to teach others the right path, although I had struggle finding mine, because I know with only a little help I can make a difference and help those who look up to me. Particularly, I wish to be a great role model for my brother to look up to. He too attends TKC and will be a Black Belt Candidate of 2010. I hope that I will be able to teach him all I know, help him during his time of need, and make him even greater then I will be.
I wish to maintain my good nature, and focus on my goals so I can accomplish all that I desire. I really believe in myself. I can do anything if I put my mind to it, and thats exactly what I will do.

5/7/2009 9:34:36 AM
I will be a light unto others. That means I will be a good example to others. I will live life to the fullest and maybe spill out a little. I will cherish all the good moments and learn from the worst. Because failure is an opportunity to learn, I will believe in myself even if I fail. I will help others achieve their highest points. I will achieve these goals and more because I wont give up.

5/7/2009 9:24:04 AM
I will live my life with humor and a willingness to learn. I will be serious when its appropriate and self disciplined.

I will live knowing that I am a follower of Christ and do what is the best for others and me. I will encourage others to copy my good examples and to follow their dreams as well as mine. I will also bring joy and happiness when times are dark and be the person I want to be.

Faith
When facing challenges, I will not lose hope and give in to fear or despair. I will have faith that I will survive the challenges and be stronger for having surmounted them. My faith will lead me to the right path and the right choices.
Respect
I will respect others and treat them as they would wish to be treated. I will respect myself and treat myself as I want others to treat me. I will accord my children the same respect that I expect from them.
Patience
I will be patient with myself and others. I will remember that my children are young and are continually learning. Likewise, I will remember that I am also continually learning. I will remember that all of us will slip, all of us will make mistakes, and I will not criticize them or myself for the mistakes. Instead, I will learn from my mistakes and will help them to learn from theirs.
Accountability
I will take responsibility for my actions. When I make mistakes, I will own them and I will make amends to those I have wronged. Conversely, when I do something well, I will acknowledge my triumph and will give myself due credit for my efforts and success.
Positive Attitude
I will maintain a positive mental attitude so that people will be lifted up by my presence in their lives and so that I will not attract failure through my own negativity.

Mission Statement

Read TKC's Mission Statement

As the popular 1996 film Jerry Maguire opens, the title character is wrestling with a number of issues that make him question who he has become. These issues offend his set of values.

In the opening scenes, sports agent Maguire goes so far as to say he hates himself -- and then corrects himself to say he hates his place in the world.

So, he writes what he calls a mission statement, "a suggestion for the future of our company." Among the values he talks about in the mission statement are the "simple pleasures," "protecting clients in health and injury," "caring," and being "the me I always wanted to be." He harkens back to his mentor, Dickie Fox, who said sports agentry is all about personal relationships.

Above all, the mission statement inspires him to say: "I'd started my life." As the film progresses, and the mission statement turns out not to be well received by his company, we realize that what Maguire has written is a personal mission statement for his own life rather than for his company-a suggestion for the future of his own life.

In his book, First Things First, Steven Covey points out that mission statements are often not taken seriously in organizations because they are developed by top executives, and there's no buy-in at the lower levels. But it's a pretty safe assumption that there probably is buy-in when we develop our own mission statements.

Jerry Maguire said that people in his business, including himself, had forgotten about what was important. Writing a personal mission statement offers the opportunity to establish what's important and perhaps make a decision to stick to it before we even start a career. Or it enables us to chart a new course when we're at a career crossroads.

Covey refers to crafting a mission statement as "connecting with your own unique purpose and the profound satisfaction that comes in fulfilling it." Sounds pretty close to what Jerry Maguire did, doesn't it?

First Things First is actually about time management, but Covey and his co-authors use the personal mission statement as an important principle. The idea is that if you live by a statement of what's really important to you, you can make better time-management decisions. The authors ask, "Why worry about saving minutes when you might be wasting years?"

A mission statement may be valuable, but how in the world do you go about crafting one? As one way to develop a mission statement, Covey talks about visualizing your 80th birthday or 50th wedding anniversary and imagining what all your friends and family would say about you. A somewhat more morbid approach is writing your own obituary.
