WHY YOU MUST SERIOUSLY BEGIN WRITING YOUR LIFE MISSION STATEMENT - RIGHT TODAY!!!


 

 

“Give me a stores clerk with a mission, and I’ll give you a man who will make a future CEO  . Give me a man without a mission, and I’ll give you a stores clerk- for life.”

Andrew Carnegie


A life mission statement shows you the goal post for directing your life's efforts and time. The merely successful people  choose to survive on the basis of your unconscious life mission . But a written statement brings out your aspirations and goals and values out into the open. It enlarges your scope and clarifies your vision. It does not encage you with needless dogmas and norms. An energizing life  mission statement deals with both character and competence; what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.


A mission statement is solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life

 

Preparing a life  mission statement becomes the solid expression of your vision and values. You than align every thought word action to these core issues. Your priorities can now never be confused. Without a mission statement, you may get to the top of the ladder and then realize it was leaning against the wrong building!

 

You  may then define personal success as being consistent to your own personal mission statement. Successful people  thrive  on special opportunities which life offers.  Everyone begins with a hazy question “what should I best do with my life…?” Some have  daydreams, and intuitions lead  to lead to the answers. But alas to the person who does not know where he wants to go there is no highway to success.

 

I am guided by the vision of what I believe this show can be. Originally our goal was to uplift, enlighten, encourage and entertain through the medium of television. Now, our mission statement for The Oprah Winfrey Show is to use television to transform people's lives, to make viewers see themselves differently and to bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment into every home. Oprah Winfrey

 

LIVE EVERY DAY TO FULFILL YOUR PERSONAL MISSION.

 

An  inspiring life mission statement becomes  part of your very nature, you have to pledge to live by it.  Then  the criteria you have  put into it  is the way you will model your life and actions.  Your success in life is relative to the objectives you set. You can choose to serve a cause beyond yourself to grow. You may use money (only) as an yardstick to measure your achievement without making it a goal. Then you can have fun along life’s journey and learn from your mistakes. This will help you find what it is to enjoy so much that you lose track of time when you're doing it.  Your personal mission in life is to grow and contribute,  and leave the Earth a better place for them having lived in it and let Earth then take it from there. Your mission statement may therefore include a desire to leave personal legacy.

  





BENEFITS OF WRITING YOUR PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT.

 

Writing a personal mission statement can help you in many ways such as learning more about yourself, expressing your goals clearly, and becoming the person you want to be; it will force you to examine yourself in more detail than usual. Writing your personal mission statement isn't directly about laying out a path to your future. The main function of your statement will be to help you better know yourself. 

Ø  The personal mission statement is focused on self-discovery, rather than creation.

 

Ø  Your mission statement should be written only to inspire you, not to impress another person.

 

Ø  Knowing yourself will help you to relate to and engage with the world at large.

 

Ø  The act of preparing the mission statement  will help you to learn just what you want to achieve and why you want to achieve it

 

Ø  You might have a broad understanding of what you want to achieve in life, but it may be difficult to put that understanding into precise words.

 

Ø  Examining your goals will allow you to focus them into clear and concise statements; Express and understand your goals clearly.

 

Ø  writing the life mission statement will help in knowing your goals will help you to achieve them more easily.   Then  you can relate your goals and how to align them to your values and beliefs.



Final Thoughts

A life  mission statement is very private but  if you want to truly see whether you have been honest in developing your personal mission statement,  try  sharing the results of the process with your executive coach and further with a confidante or well wisher within your family or friends network.  Based on  their feedback develop further from there, if necessary. A life  mission statement is not something you write overnight because it requires several draft which may  take weeks.  It is also not meant to be written once and blasted into stone. You should set aside some time annually to review your career, job, goals, and mission statement -- and make adjustments as necessary.

Make your statement a way of life. Creating a personal mission statement will allow you to start living your goals and values. After clarifying and focusing your ideals and life direction you will be able to work your mission statement into everything you do. If you are really committed you don't just settle for writing your statement on paper; but will always strive to live in accordance with your values and beliefs. Excellence does not come easily or quickly-- nothing very valuable can come without significant sacrifice, effort, and patience on our part.



 

With best wishes
