Life Statement
Do you have a life statement… a mission statement for your personal life?
What does it say?
Does it guide your actions?
Do you defer to it in decision making?
How strong and fast is your personal mission statement?
How long have you had it and how often do you edit it?
I guess I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. I live by a semi-written/unwritten statement of purpose. I really think it’s time to sit down and write out MY mission statement. Mine as it pertains to who I am currently, what I want in life and how I want to go about achieving the things I want. It’s a fascinating topic to me and I could actually sit and go into lengthy conversations with people about it!I love the idea that we propel ourselves to the things we want and find most appealing. So fas-cin-a-ting!!!
Well, I’ll keep you posted as to what I come up with.
I don’t have a personal mission statement yet. For me to draft a personal mission statement right now would be a lot like a country sitting down to draft a new constitution in the midst of a civil war.
Perhaps that’s overstating it a bit. =)
I do have some things I want to improve about myself though. I want to look in the mirror and see that I’m giving my brain a healthy and reliable ride. I want to look at my friends and see that they know I care about them because I work to communicate with and help them. I want to look in the distance and see the brilliant looming shapes of crazy dreams I’ve been fighting to make come true.
Things like that.
I like your analogy Seth! It’s interesting how something that should be so simple is so difficult to put into words.
I really like the direction you are headed and I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors!
