Writing A Personal Mission Statement
\"The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, \rwhat you are about and what you value.\" -Stephen R. Covey
Writing a personal mission statement, value statement, life statement, mantra, etc. is an \rexercise I recommend to help clarify what matters to you most. It\'s also a great reason to \rcreate some alone time and really get in touch with your authentic inner voice. Set aside a \rtime and place without interruptions, maybe light a candle or put some real soft baroque-style \rmusic on in the background and just \"be.\" Don\'t focus on the end result up front. The goal is to \renjoy some deep, unrestricted thought first, and then put it all together later.
It make take a few minutes for you to settle in and detox from the world you\'re stepping away from, \rbut you\'ll know when you feel connected. To inspire thought, most people find it helpful to use\rquestioning to help frame their thinking. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
What qualities do I admire most about me?
What qualities would I most like to strengthen and display to the world more often?
The last time I wrote mine was on October 5, 2000. It was funny, it was inside of a folder I hadn\'t \ropened for over 5 years and I just came across it again recently. What was most pleasing and \rbrought a smile to my face was it\'s accuracy and relevance in my life in the present moment. It was \ras valid as it ever had been to me and I couldn\'t think of any changes I would make, even after almost \rsix years! Here\'s my personal mantra:
\"I will smile! I will embrace each day gifted to me and see each day as not just another day, but one \rfilled with opportunity and adventure. I will live, love and learn purposefully with passion, excitement \rand by the values of honesty, sincerity, humility, empathy and flexibility.
I must climb my mountains today, for tomorrow may be too late. I will not make excuse or blame others. \rI will keep my mind, body and spirit healthy and strong. I will treasure those I love, enrich my life and \rthe lives of all who cross my path by being a mentor, inspiring others to greatness and by affirming their unique worth in love.
I will give all I have to give and teach others what I know and learn what I can from them by helping\rthem get everything they want. I will help others discover and pursue their way, thanking those who \rhelp me. I will nurture the development of all life in harmony with nature and the laws and energies of \rthe universe.\"
As I type this, it affirms my belief in the power of soul-connected writing, wishing and thinking and how \rit can manifest the people, places and opportunities you desire into your reality!
