Who are you again???

We were given homework, at work. Really. I thought my days of having to do research and homework were over but alas, no. The project was to write our own Mission statement for our animal hospital. It was a project that was supposed to help us feel like part of the bigger picture of the business itself. While researching mission statements online I came across a site that spoke of making personal mission statements. It started with thinking of five words that expressed who you are and what you stand for. Wow, that should have been easy. After all, for the past 3 years I have been working on myself and bettering my life right? So why on earth could I not come up with 5 simple words to express who I am? Even worse, the words I could come up with I wasn't even convinced of!

It has upset me greatly but I have now realized that I have no idea who I am now. I have no clue what I stand for or what words would describe who I am. How could this have happened? The only thing I can think of is that somehow in my mission to change and reinvent my life, I forgot an important step in the process. I forgot the discovery of who this new person is and what she stands for. I rebuilt this life I am currently in but forgot a very important part of the foundation. This could be bad for the future of anything I have built if its not backed by solid foundation right? So that is my newest mission. I need to figure out who I am now and what I stand for. Granted, it will change. All things that move forward change or they die. It's that simple. But for now at least I need something to start with. So I need to figure out the five words that describe me and I need to believe them. 

Mission accepted. First I need some more coffee.
