begin with the end in mind

when people ask if i work, i reply with conviction, "you bet i do; i have kid/s, (one is a daughter; the other, a husband), and that's a lot of work!".. but if the question goes, "are you under contract with a company?" well, that's rather specific so i answer on a different perspective.

although technically, i'm not employed (as of this writing), i enjoy attractive perks like those given by multinationals -- medical insurance, clothing allowance, meal subsidy, housing benefits, commission on lucky days (a.k.a. shopping freebies, travel and tours!). i'm able to claim through the kindness of my co-signatory in the agreement called 'marriage'.

it's been quite awhile that i'm a full-time mother cum homemaker, dealing with enormous requisitions for production in the frias enterprises (i look at our household on a 'corporate' angle while i sorely miss the business world; but yes, it is 'domestic episode' that i'm referring to.. cool, huh!).

which brings me to realizing one thing: that i do not have an(other) office to go to every morning, nor a snooty boss to please each day, does not limit my deliverables -- manpower training, capital expansion, etc.. operations here run 24x7, and i'm on-duty for the most part of it! my actions shape the "organization’s aspirations", which require me to maintain an impressive "strategic management".

for that reason, effective immediately, my "performance appraisal" shall be based on carrying out this self-issued "executive order":

through my journey in life and love, wherever fate positions me, i commit to be inspired by what i now term:

MY PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT

that I shall shield my child(ren) from pain
in the best way I know how;
that my man shall be glad to know my love and attention;
that my folks shall, from heaven, exclaim with pride:
“Well done, my child”;

that humanity may have a share of God’s blessings
bestowed upon me;
that, w/ truth as my weapon, I shall defend the oppressed,
and fear no accusation;

that I shall put to mind how life is never easy,
but I have the option to survive;
that struggles are here to stay,
and so does my skill to handle them;

and that I shall care for this world
for the greater glory of my God.

given the above, will i grasp my "company's desired vision" in the coming of old age? chances are bigger if i remain focused.

begin with the end in mind. my guiding principle to success for the "frias, inc."..

with God’s grace, i’m in control.
as life goes on..
