MISSION: SELF

Hello Agents!  

I'm glad you're here.  As explained in The Circle of Influence post, the first mission of a TST Agent is to start with yourself.  You might be saying, "why" or "that sounds selfish, isn't this about serving others?"  Well, yes, our goal is to get to a place of serving others.  But the truth is, first we need to work on ourselves.  A well trained TST Agent has first looked into their own life, their own habits, their own attitudes, and decided that they want to take responsibility so that they can be the best version of themselves before they start helping others.  When we are getting ready to serve others, it's always good to do a "systems check" on ourselves and make sure we are doing well before looking to help others.  Here are some ideas for how you might do this anytime you do a Self Mission: 

  • Journal for a week about the things you have caught yourself doing that you'd like to work on.  Be honest with yourself, because if you can't be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with?  Could you argue less with people in your life?  Could you work better with those around you?  Could you have a better attitude about the things in your life?  After you've made your observations review them and set goals for how you are going to work on them.  

  • Journal for a week about the things you are good at and think about how you might be able to use those strengths to accomplish missions.  How can you continue to improve upon those strengths?  Write 5 goals you'd like to accomplish using your strengths.  
  • Give yourself space to think.  It seems like there are so many distractions in our world.  You could have something in front of your face at all times- a screen, games, homework, etc.  Set a goal to set aside some time for you to sit and think with no distractions, every day for a week.  You can even start with 5 minutes a day and build up to longer times.  This might sound crazy, but you might find that you really like using your thinker and I bet you'll find that you come up with some great ideas you might not have ever given yourself time to have.  I can't wait to hear about them!  
  • Pray- Nicholas did this a lot.  A lot of times there are things in this world that are too big for us.  But nothing is too big for God.  Praying is just talking to God, don't be afraid, God loves YOU and wants to hear from you.  But God doesn't just want to hear about the things that are too big for you, He wants you to tell Him about all of it.  
  • Ask your Senior Agent to go on a walk with you and talk back and forth about goals you can work on this year to become the best version of yourself.  

These are a few simple ways to start a Self Mission.  Once you've completed a Self Mission you can move on to a Family Mission or you can complete a few Self Missions before moving on- it's up to you.  You can find printable calendars and other resources to help you organize your missions here. Great work today agents!  

 

On a Mission,
