My personal principles statement

So I had an assignment in my class to create a personal principles statement and explain what it means and how I decided the things that were important to me.  I figured I would share it with all of you! Enjoy!

Personal Principles Statement
“My purpose throughout life is to rejoice in those things that are central in my life; my family, my belief in Christ, relationships with others, and the excitement that comes from the world around me, by being true and trusted friend that helps and encourages others to see the happiness and light this life has to offer.  I desire to have a family, which is the greatest joy life has to offer, and that they are always aware of the love I have for them.”
            My family, my belief in Christ, relationships with others, and the joy that comes from the world around me are what I consider to be central in my life.  I know that I am who I am because of these very things and if taken away from me I would not be the person that I am.  My family is my safe harbor.  They are rock of support for all that happens in my life, good or bad.  They remind me who I am when I forget and they love me even when I have disgraced them or the family name.  My belief and trust in my Savior is my constant.  He is the one thing I will have forever.  He is my brother and my best friend that has walked my path and I can always lean on Him, for all that I need.  Relationships are what bring a smile to my face and a light in my eyes.  I value the relationship that I have and the people I know, because they make life exciting and fun.  The world is a beautiful place that makes me want to open my eyes and experience all that there is to do on this earth.
            I know that I am of worth, that I have the ability to change lives.  Starting with my own and moving on to everyone in this world.  I want to be someone that others can call a true and trusted friend.  Someone they can rely on through the thick and thin and know that I am there for them.  I want to be that person that enters a room and the light and energy of life follows.  I want others to feel the enthusiasm and energy for life that I have be being in my presence.  I know that the optimism and joy for life, which I have within me, can lift others when they are down and put a smile on the face of a heavy soul. Life is to be enjoyed and I hope to help others truly enjoy what life has to offer.
  I want to leave a legacy of service, love for life and love of God. When I finish this life, I would hope that others can look back on my life and are confident that I gave of myself to benefit those around me.  I believe that if you love God then you love and serve those around you. There have been amazing men and women that have gone before us and have devoted their lives to serving and loving all those that have crossed their paths; I would hope that I could join them in the legacy they have left behind.
My greatest desire of all is to have a family of my own, a husband and children that desire the same things that I do. I hope that I have the opportunity to teach my children to love the wholesome things of this world, so that they can carry on the legacy of service and love that I have carried on from my parents.  I believe that family brings the greatest joy of all.  I know that my family is what makes me happy.  I love to spend time with them and to learn and grow from the things that they are doing in their lives.  I want my family now and my future family, to have a constant assurance that I love them and desire only the greatest things of this world for them.
