When I took a Stephen R. Covey class on "The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People" I developed my personal mission statement.
This encompasses the philosophy that I try to live my life by.
I think these ideas are very appropriate to the transgendered
community. So without a futher ado, here they are:
I must strive to do my best, not because it is important to others, but because it is important to me.
I must understand that my outlook on life is not necessarily the outlook of others.
What we leave behind is not as important as how we live our lives.
I believe that each person has the right to their actions as long as those actions do not cause harm to others.
I must strive to improve because if left alone things will not stay the same, but will deteriorate.
I will spend time each week planning what I need to
accomplish for that week.
