OK you've clicked on this link. WHY? Are
you just killing time or was there a reason why. The reason I have
put it on this site was to give you a framework for getting your
life in the right direction. Taken from my book
The Principles of
Life this Mission Statement can help you get
your life sorted.
To most people, the thought of writing a
mission statement is a little daunting. This is because most people have the
false idea that it requires a lot of writing. In fact, the amount of writing is
not as important as the amount of thought required. A simple company mission
statement could be “Always to value the customer”; a personal mission statement
could be as simple as “I’m going to live the best life ever and be as successful
as I can”. This is just an example of a simple but empowering mission statement,
which is the core of your goals.
If you said “I want to be
a millionaire and have a Ferrari and live in a big house with acres of land”,
yes, these are goals but they do not form a mission statement. The mission
statement asks the question “why do you want those things?”. The answer to that
question should be the core of the mission statement. These things may be things
that add up to or contribute to your mission statement but they are not the
mission statement. The mission statement is the centre of your world, the
driving force that decides what decisions you take in life. It is the pivot upon
which you assess all major decisions or directions that you take.
This does not mean that a
mission statement cannot change, because quite often on our journey to personal
happiness we encounter new experiences that can alter the way forward for us. As
long as the mission statement has the same integrity as it had when it was first
conceived, it’s O.K. to change it along the way. For instance, you may have been
single at the time of writing it and may now need to include some new people in
there! OK
HERE

Statement at the top space provided and put the things you need to do in
order for it to happen such as:" I need to stop taking life too
seriously" or whatever else you think you need in the spaces provided below it. |
