Your Personal Mission Statement

unblockmyenergy.com Your Personal Mission Statement should answer three questions: What is my life about (Purpose)? What do I stand for (Values)? What actions do I take to manifest my Purpose and my Values? Stephen Covey writes that an empowering Mission Statement: Represents the deepest and best within you. It comes out of a solid connection with your deep inner life. Is the fulfillment of your own unique gifts. Itâs the expression of your unique capacity to contribute. Addresses and integrates the four fundamental human needs and capacities in the physical, social/emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. Deals with all the significant roles in your life. It represents a lifetime balance of personal, family, work, community-whatever roles you feel are yours to fill. Is written to inspire you-not to impress anyone else. It communicates to you and inspires you on the most essential level. âCreating a Personal Mission Statement will be, without question, one of the most powerful and significant things you will ever do to take leadership of you life. In it you will identify the most important roles, relationships, and things in your life â who you want to be, what you want to do, to whom and what you want of give your life, the principles you want to anchor your life to, the legacy you want to leave. All the goals and decisions you will make in the future will be based upon it. Itâs like deciding first which wall you want to lean your ladder of life against, and then beginning to climb. It will be a compass â a strong source of guidance amid the stormy seas and pressing, pulling currents of you life.â Stephen Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People A Personal Vision/Mission can help propel you into a new job, or make your present job work better for you. The more connected your Personal Vision/Mission is to yourself, the better it can guide your career and your life.
