Ask yourself…
What do I love?
And what am I doing about it?
Am I living life freely and with passion?
Is it time to re-boot my dreams?
Time to create a life I love?
Is it time to live truly authentically?
Time to begin living life on purpose? Time to live a life by design? Are you ready to become intentional about creating a life you love? A Personal Mission Statement is a powerful exercise in channeling all that wonderful passionate and creative energy so that you can live a truly authentic life.
This is all about intentionality - being intentional about the life you live, rather than simply living a life you’ve been handed. Living an intentional, authentic life is about:
Living your personal Truth
Walking in line with your passion
Living a life that works for you - not simply resisting against a life you’ve been handed
Determining for yourself precisely how you will spend your life force
Contributing the very best of you to this world
Joyfully creating and living your Highest purpose
It’s living a life by design… your personal work of art!
But why write a Mission Statement?
We can travel to a destination without a roadmap, but we will get there so much more effectively – and comfortably - with a roadmap. All too often we head on out before really knowing where we are headed. And we expend so much of our energy, so much of our life force, trying to figure our who we are and where we are headed.
This Mission Statement process is about brining focus to your priorities. Perhaps you already have a sense of what your priorities/values/goals are, but when you really get down to doing this process, you may be surprised by the clarity you find!
Most of us think about the big things we'd like to accomplish in life. But most of us never write them down. If you talk with successful (however you define success), satisfied people, they'll probably tell you they write down their values, goals, and vision for what they want in life. Then they use it as a compass to make it come true.
Some people use "mission," "purpose," and "vision" interchangeably. Others think they describe different things. There is no consensus. You can call it what you like.
A personal mission statement describes how you see yourself in the immediate future. It describes your hopes and dreams. It evokes a sense of achievement and fulfillment.
So, I ask you:
Have you ever really thought about the purpose of your life?
Have you ever intentionally clarified your values?
Do you have such clear goals that they direct all that you do?
Value of Writing a Personal Mission Statement
It forces you to think deeply about your life, clarify the purpose of your life, and identify what is really important to you.
It forces you to clarify and express succinctly your deepest values and aspirations.
It challenges you to take personal leadership over your life.
It imprints your values and purposes firmly in your mind so they become a part of you rather than something you only think about occasionally.
Integrating your personal mission statement into your weekly planning gives you a way to keep your vision constantly before you.
Developing a personal mission statement.
A personal mission statement answers questions like these:
-What do I want from my life?
-What do I value?
-What are my talents?
-At the end of my life, what do I want to have accomplished?
