30 B4 30 Day 5: Create My Mission Statement

If you didn't know, I am not Jerry Maguire so I am not writing a pamphlet on how to create a happy life as a sports agent, but I do think it is important that you know your purpose on this earth and that you live every day with that purpose in mind. That is why I chose Create My Mission Statement as my item for today.

All day, everyday, people do what they want or what others want them to do, and I think my 2 year-old friend Kaitlyn is on point when she asks, "Why?"

I like going to restaurants, museums and traveling, but why? I enjoy taking classes, watching educational programs and learning fun facts. Again, why? These statements are true about me, but why do I like these things and why do I do the things I do? These are all questions you should ask yourself too. What makes you tick? What makes you, well, you?

I analyzed myself and my craziness for a little while today, and this is the simple statement I created to explain me:


Melissa Anne (Gonzalez) Kuehnle's mission is to create memorable experiences, use her creativity and consistently learn from her surroundings. She continues to enrich her life by remaining open to new ideas and people, while staying realistic and honest. Melissa has made the commitment to live life with a sense of humor, an imagination and a smile...all while saying please and thank you.


Ask the question. Take the journey. Live. That is Melissa's mission.


On day 5 of my 30 B4 30, I came up with the answer to my question, so I ask you, "Who's coming with me?"

Thought I'd sort of virtually take the ride with you. Maybe I'll learn something that will help me :-)

I just remembered to check in today and see how the 30 b4 30 was going and I'm glad I did. I really liked the 30 thank yous :) but this one really strikes a cord with me. I've been spending the past year reevaluating the who, what where & why of me so I appreciate seeing someone else in process of doing the same.

Love the series, I have no doubt your 30 b4 30 will be successful in many ways.
