Hey Bob. I love your mission statement, and that you add it to every post.

"I'm on a mission to inspire and uplift humanity - one positive thought and one inspired action at a time."

What I love about it is four key words: inspire, uplift, thought, and action. The words Inspire and Uplift have this feeling of how a breath of fresh air gives you a lift. I can actually feel that happen in my body as I say the words out loud because the word INSPIRE (which comes from the Latin for Spirit) has this floating quality to it with the long I sound. The word UPLIFT has this sort of launching energy in the sound...and P being the moment your body leaves the ground, and the FT sound being the feeling of floating.

And of course, every affirmation is better when it links thought with action, making the idea into reality with a physical DOING.

I knew I liked my mission statement, but I've never examined the word choices in such depth. Thanks for pointing out why it resonates with you!
