Family Mission Statement

by admin on February 19, 2010 · 7 comments

Every now and then I like to revisit this PUBLICLY.  It gives me a chance to ask you how I am doing and gives you a chance to see a glimpse into the why behind some of the decisions I make.

Our family mission statement can be viewed here or you can see the text only version at the bottom of this post.

This is why my company spends so much of our time with social enterprise and non profit organizations, why my kids were up way past their bedtime last night at Laundry Love Santa Ana and why we go out to eat a lot less than we used to.

Does you family have a mission statement?  Does it help guide your decisions?

We desire to passionately pursue…

Creativity in all areas of life

Justice and Mercy with a focus on the disenfranchised and ignored both locally and globally…

Knowledge and Wisdom seeking to grow in maturity and ability…

…and to cultivate…

Independence-working towards personal growth and integrity; taking initiative.

Peace-a spirit of contentment and satisfaction.

Community-an enviornment built on trust, openness and fun.

…And above all…

We will love God and love people.

It’s been mostly good. Focus and prioritizing is not always fun.
