My Personal Creed

So the month of February marked the beginning of the second semester full-time in my program, and let me tell ya time has somehow felt like its passed in a blink of an eye and eternity all at once. I have been meaning to share more on here of course (school related) but of course also starting my second job and second semester as well has pinched my time available for blogging.

I'd like to share my personal creed I handed in tonight. We were supposed to put together, in a succinct piece of writing a mission statement about our virtues/beliefs/life's purpose. Pretty big assignment for a one page paper, but somehow this was the easiest thing I have done this semester. Easy in that it just came out of me without much thought, and I feel it does indeed capture my belief system right now. It sure is not an "I have a dream speech," but its my creed. Read on if you have nothing better to do. Or even better, write your own personal creed. What is your life purpose? Have you asked yourself this question lately? It is a good question indeed.

I do have a purpose

I am okay with not having a set purpose to write in flowery words today, but I can assure you, I do have a purpose.

I may not be able to tell you where I will be in a year, five years or the next five minutes, but I can assure you, I do have a purpose.

I might not know the direction I am walking some days, and I might seem confused, but I can assure you, I do have a purpose.

That purpose might change from day to day, hour by hour, but I can assure you, I do have a purpose.

Sometimes my purpose is to lend a hand to children. One day I’m there to help put on a mitten. Another day, I might be there to explain Spanish language, or I might just be a listening ear, or a Kleenex-nose-wiper.

Sometimes my purpose is to be a daughter. I might be there to set the table, catch up with mom and dad on the phone or make sure their Christmas stockings are stuffed on time.

Sometimes my purpose may be to take what has been given to me from my parents and make them proud. Sometimes my purpose is to make me proud.

It depends on the day really, on the place and on the time, but I assure you I have many purposes.

Sometimes my purpose is to learn and to share. Sometimes my purpose is to be there for a friend or a stranger. Most of the times, my purpose is to just be.

My most clear, concise, and focused purpose though is to be me and to be awake and present.

With the way that the world moves and the way that I move in it,

I am part of life and life is part of me.

They say the only constant in life is change

And with life, I too change.

Because I’m always changing and adapting to the scene,

My life purpose changes too

And makes me feel in between

The past times and the future times,

But that’s the best place to be,

In the present moment

Is where I’m my best me.
