Mission Statement for 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!
