Dream Mission
A dream mission is a self- imposed goal you strive to obtain, a deep yearning for a piece of life you want for yourself.
My dream mission was to train in a developing country in Africa; on a topic of conflict. My dream was realized recently. Miraculously, I got a call almost three years ago that fit that scenario perfectly. The Nigerian Amnesty Program, Nigeria, Africa, has an incentive project created by the Nigerian government that provides concessions for fighters as they agree to lay down their arms. As part of the program, a diverse international team provided training in Transformational Kingian Nonviolence. What I thought would be a two week contract led to a wonderful year and a half experience. I thank Dr. Bernard Lafayette and Charles Alphin for providing the opportunity to fulfill that dream.
Explain your dream mission.

Support System
Your support system is defined at birth, primarily consisting of your parents and siblings. As we mature, however it is multi-tiered and, each of the people you include in your system is an individual you respect, feel safe with and trust to have your best interest in mind. Your support system must be made up of people who want you to succeed. You’re the first level of the system. The second level consists of people of influence. The second level may be 1-5 people who are familiar with your industry, or have some knowledge and influence in where you’re going. They’re your circle of interest-people you can brainstorm and collaborate with.
Who are the people in this level of your support system? Why?

Your Mojo
Mojo is your life force, the internal quality that attracts love, luck and allows you to soar. It is that authentic self. Sometimes life’s storms causes us to get lost in self doubt, low self esteem and we get off track. Laughing often, dancing and taking a class are ways to help you find your way back.
When you find that you’re off track, and have lost sight of your mission, what do you do to get your mojo back?
