This was inspired after I finished a self-help book by Sean Covey "7 habits of an effective teen". This is kinda like a mission statement. Hope it inspires someone else. I want to be faithful and loyal Truthful and honest With everyone I know, and Most importantly, myself I want to be strong and confident Stand with pride, looking ahead Unafraid of the future Not regretting the past I need to be committed To maintain healthy relationships with loved ones Promises should not be taken lightly Nor should they be broken easily I need to be more disciplined Success in life requires tons of hard work Procrastination was NEVER a contributing factor Coz it creates a helluva vicious cycle I need to love and care more To see the good in others and accept their faults For what good are true friends and family If I never learn to treasure them I need to be more understanding Life is full of criticism as it is I should respect people's decisions Without adding to their burden I should be less critical Nothing is ever perfect Tis much easier on heart, soul and mind To accept my short-comings and learn from my mistakes At the end of this lifelong marathon Tiring, yet fulfilling and rewarding With deeds carried out in good faith I would like to know that I made a difference Perhaps not in a big way But never one too small I could have made someone smile, brightened his day Rescued a stray puppy, even saved a rainforest or two I could have stood up for my beliefs With everyone else hating me But I am who I am Not who they want me to be |

Very inspiring...I wonder if Sean is related to Stephen Covey...the man that wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People...James |

James: yeah!! They are related! =) Stephen is Sean's dad. He was inspired by this father's work, so he did one 'effective habits' for teenagers too... =) |

This is SO similar to the 12-step program for addicts, and a very simple, and yet difficult-to-live creed. I applaud you though, for your self-analysis and devotion to being a better person daily. One day at a time....funny, it sounds so cliche', but how can we possible do otherwise? Enjoyed MUCH.  with HUGS |
