Mission Statement

Greetings to all!!! I pray the day is treating you well. I believe as we continue on our journey in this life, that we should have a purpose, values and a mission. A mission that represents who we are, what we believe in and what we want to accomplish. I challenge each of you to develop a mission statement for your life. A statement that reflects the very essence of who you are and who you are continuing to become. I, Susan Porter, am a person of destiny. I walk each day with a joyous song in my heart and a grateful, humble attitude. I am a loving, caring, encouraging mother. I provide my son with security and love that teaches him how to be confident, secure and determined. My positive attitude and optimistic self are infectious to those around me. GOD has give me an understanding of myself and my purpose in this world and HE continues to open my eyes and clarify my vision for me. Because of that, I am able to lead others and relay my vision to them and help them to find their own. My personal life is filled with joy because I am able to see the silver lining in all things. I transfer that ability also to my son. My love life is rich and overflowing because of the healthy, satisfying relationship I have with the person GOD has chosen for me. He and I grow daily together. My business is strong, solid and consistently profitable because I attract people that are just like, if not better than me. I attract these people because I am the type of person I want to lead and the type of Leader I want to follow. Life is full of things that make us grow and I welcome every opportunity for growth. Whatever your mission statement is, make it one that you believe in and read it to yourself everyday. You are whoever you want to be. Love you all!!

It's Your Story

Greetings to all!!! I pray the day is treating you well. I have decided to begin writing my memoirs. Yes, even those of us that walk around with the mortals have a story to tell. What is your story? My inspiration for this sure to be painstaking journey began some time ago. I have SEVERAL unfinished stories that I have been writing. I recently read several articles about the journeys different people have had and the stories of how their life continues to unfold. What do you think your story will be? I mean, if you look back over your life, what has each decade brought to you? Your childhood, teens, twenties, thirties, etc....? I will be 36 next month (I know it has to believe, I don't look a day over 25) and at each birthday, I reflect over what that year brought to me. I have found love, lost love, lost loved ones, given new loved ones, found myself, lost myself....you get the picture. At the end of the day, what will your story be? It is okay to reinvent yourself, you know. As we grow older we should be reinventing or rather discovering a new person. Someone who has evolved and continues to do so with a greater purpose in mind along the way. I cherish the times I had in my early youth (and thank GOD I am here to talk about it), but I am so excited about what the rest of my life will bring. When it is all said and done, did you live your life or did life live you? If you have become settled in the day to day beat, shake it up a bit. Find out what moves you and make it happen! Who said we had to follow the rules of others? I know what things I want to experience in my life and the only thing holding me back would be me. And thank the LORD I don't believe in setting limits!!! Go for what you want and create the story of your life. I've told you this once before and I will say it again.....You only have one life to live, so make it one worth living. Love you all!!!!

Who is the LEADER within YOU?

Greetings to all!!!! I pray the day is treating you well. It has been some time since my last post, but the time has come to share my knowledge with you all :). As you know if you follow my blog or if know me personally, I use this resource as a way to help others grow and become the person GOD has intended for them to be. I work everyday to discover who that person is for me and I believe it is a journey we will take throughout our life. As you go along each day, be it a work, home, with family or friends there is a point at some time that requires someone to be a leader. The LEADER at work, not the manager, but the LEADER-the one who is able to motivate and move people towards a bigger vision. The LEADER at home-who has the ability to persuade, move, motivate the family. The friend who always is the one everyone turns to, talks to and follows. When are you a LEADER? Do you see that person in yourself? Find that person inside of you and allow yourself the opportunity to put your GOD given talents to use. We are all born LEADERS, but that LEADER is an infant and needs to grow through trial and error, stepping outside your comfort zone, self improvement, and only YOU can control that. Don't keep your LEADER locked inside, but let him/her out for the entire world to see. Love you all!!
