My most important mission in life is to stay true to myself. I put a lot of worth on committing to the things I believe in. Even when unpopular, I choose to protect and uphold my beliefs because they keep me honest.

"And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live].
