Personal Mission Statement
“The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.” - Stephen R. Covey
I often skip the exercises in personal growth books, but one exercise I did complete was Dr. Covey’s suggestion in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
I have decided to post my statement here to hopefully inspire you to write your own. Here it is:
- I will be loving and proactive in building and maintaining my relationships with family and friends, so that I may be considered a successful husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend.
- I will always act with integrity and never compromise with honesty, so that it may be said that I am a person who stands for what is just and right.
- I will approach life with a curious nature, so that I am someone who continually strives to better understand both my inner and outer worlds.
- I will look after my health by regularly exercising, eating well, and limiting the intake of anything that may be harmful to my body.
- I will treat money as my servant, not as my master. I will seek financial independence over time. My wants will be subject to my needs and means. I will spend less than I earn and regularly save and invest part of my income.
- I will maintain a personal growth blog that both adds value to my life and inspires others to cultivate self awareness and realize their full potential in life.
- When times are tough, I will remember there are still countless reasons I have to be thankful. I will also give back to the community, via donation and volunteering, so that those less fortunate receive a helping hand.
