Well this is my about me section, lets just say that I have been to the top of the mountain and to the depth of the valley. I hope that sharing a Jerry Mcguiresque mission statement i wrote 2 and a half years ago will give you a sense of who Iam and where Im going here goes it................................................................WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE...... For the rest of my life I want to trust myself and be confident. To believe in myself. This begins I guess by first recognizing my basic needs as a human being then doing something about meeting them. I want fo find my inner child, it is my core. It is the playful, spontaneous. creative side of me. Yet it carries my emotional pain, fear and sense of vulnerbility since I was a child. Part of this process is finding support and intimacy in my life and nurturing that support and intimacy instead of destroying it. Support, acceptence, validation and love can go a long way towards reinforcing and strengthening my affirmation for myself. Some might say.....What does this have to do with what I want to do with the rest of my life....I believe that it is the beginning of an innerchange becausing Im digging deep inside pulling out everything that Ive hidden and by the grace of God have begun discarding all thats hindered me and derailed my lifes journey. Now I can learn what Gods purpose or me is because my mind and heart are no longer cluttered with junk. I can accept myself and what I mean by accept is I can live comfortably with my strengths as well as address and manage my weaknesses by facing them head on without being over critical. Then comes respect for myself. and in order to respect myself I must realize the value and carry myself with the diginity that as a unigue human being I should. And by doing so treat myself as I would treat others. Then comes self trust. Making my behavior and feelings consistent enough to give me a clear mind despite the changes and challenges life throws at me. and finally to believe in myself means I deserve the good things in life(im not talking materialistic) Then open my heart to love myself and others. And with this be comforted and know that the fight was worth it becauseIve made my life worthwhile...BOTTOM LINE TO HAVE MEANING..Vinces Mission statement.....3;16;2006
