Your Mission Statement

“A mission statement is, in essence, a written down reason for being – whether for a person or a company. It is the key to finding your path in life and identifying the mission you choose to follow. Having a clearly articulated mission statement gives one a template of purpose that can be used to initiate, evaluate and refine all of one’s activities.” Laurie Beth Jones

Imagine being with new acquaintances and someone asks you to tell them a little bit about yourself. Would your answer refer to your job, your hobby, your family, or your community activities? If you had a clearly defined mission, your answer would be definite and confident. Hearing in your voice joy, vibrancy and direction, they will want to know you better and follow your example. A new friendship is born.
 
Your mission in life is to be conscious of your choices and notice the path you are following; make each day happy and your work effortless. When I watched the new Disney movie, Earth, I was struck by the clear mission of survival for each of the species. God gave the animals their mission. We have the privilege of choosing ours. Do it now, and give yourself a gift.

Your mission statement needs to be:

• no more than one sentence

• easily understood by a 12 year old
  

• can be recited by memory at gunpoint
