In My Cube

So I wanted to share something that I thought up yesterday that I have written on a post-it and now proudly display in my cubical at work.

Remember why I'm here
Remember who I am
Remember what I'm made of
And remember what my goals are

(And that dj loves me lots!)


I'm going to use it as a kind of personal motto. It can be used an many ways and go along with lots of different aspects of life, here are the ones that I need to remember while at work.

So why am I at work? To provide for my family and make it easier for dj to focus on his schooling.
Who am I? I am a daughter of Heavenly Father, who loves me and who will support me no matter what. With God all things are possible and I am important!
What am I made of? I'm made of determination, compassion, a solid faith in God and Christ, stubbornness, inner strength, and power that I haven't yet discovered.
What are my goals? I often think of 'our' goals with this one, I get discouraged a lot because I don't like having to work so much. I lose sight of the end goal of me working: get dj through school and making life for us better. I think a large part of it is that in order for us to have our goal of a happy and successful marriage also hinges on my being supportive of his dreams and making his personal goals my personal goals as well.
And that last one is obvious, who doesn't like seeing a constant reminder in writing that their husband loves them?!

I'm trying really hard to have an eternal perspective. I had a really good eternal perspective day today. Hopefully this little saying will help me keep that perspective a little more often than I have.
