I WILL barelybreathing: I WILL have a passion for excellence.
I WILL ask, listen, and hear - to determine the wants, needs, and possibilities of all with whom I come in contact.
I WILL provide an example of commitment and integrity.
I WILL follow a path of continual empowerment for myself and others.
I WILL constantly focus on the strengths of all with whom I come in contact.
I WILL cultivate optimum physical, mental, and spiritual fitness.
I WILL lead as I would like to be led.
I WILL savor the flavor of each passing moment.
I WILL infuse every thought and relationship with faith, hope, love and gratitude.
