My Personal Ethos

  1. Manifest destiny is favoring me as I am prepared in body, mind and spirit!
  2. I choose to work harder & smarter than required while being patient & serendipitous; harnessing the power of delayed gratification.
  3. I will ‘be nice’ and peaceful as possible with my fellow human beings; thus cultivating the Golden Rule.
  4. Leadership is a privilege, not a right, so it begins best with me. I must earn it in the arena of action while maintaining a positive, solution-oriented mental and balanced yet extreme emotional attitude.
  5. As a ‘happy warrior’, I will be the last to pick up the sword but shall fight ‘tooth & nail’ to protect my family, company, country, and myself when required.
  6. I am thriving in the present, resolving the past, and creating my ideal future today, commencing at this very moment!
  7. I find my peace and joy through seeking truth, wisdom, love (God). I am NOT seeking the artificial temporal by chasing cheap thrills, titles, money or fame.
  8. I am meaningfully and consistently improving myself, my team, and the world; in an impactful way, every blessed day!
  9. I understand life as a wonderful mess full of dichotomy, antinomy and paradox.
  10. I am created in God’s image and my primary life purpose is to glorify the triune Godhead by loving Him and His creation.

I hope this inspires you to create your own as M Divine did for me.
