Mission Statement for Life

Inspirational: For those who are always looking to find ways to live a happier life.

Picture source

It is common for a business to create, update, rework and live by a mission statement. Most people expect an established institution to have one. It is often created more for the benefit of the establishment than for the public as it is a marker: an intangible statement of the tangible goals of the company.

It acts as an inspirational reminder for what the company stands for creating a self-fulfilling prophesy of success. This idea can be equated to the idea of the basketball coach who tells his players to envision making the basket; to close their eyes and see the basket being made. This is a mental mission statement. And it works.

So why not apply this method to the everyday lay person's life? Take this philosophy to the next level.

I propose that people start creating mission statements for the lives they want to lead; for the lives they dream of and want to create for themselves.

This is something that one MUST write out and keep posted in clear sight. It is a statement that one must modify when one's vision expands for the better.

Having a constant reminder of one's goals will create many things.

  1. The act of writing will solidify one's dreams in a tangible form.
  2. It is evidence that illuminates what one wants.
  3. It is taking a step to say that one believes in one's self.

The list of benefits could fill pages.

Any idea that can make one's dream a reality is worth investigating!!

Best wishes and success in all your endeavors!

Thank you for reading!

Liane,

I agree with your idea completely.
It may come slowly, but it does happened, and if you have it written down, you can see it clearly.

Dear madeline,

Thank you for your great comment and suggestion!

Some examples follow:

1. To live the healthiest life possible.
2. We are reflections of one another - each time you notice something you dislike in another, realize it's something found within yourself and actively work to improve it.
3. Learn something new everyday.
4. Write down your goals and dreams (studies prove that people who do reach them at a high percentage than those who do not)

These are just some ideas, hopefully they are helpful to you!

Blessings.

Sincerely,

-Liane Schmidt.
