My Mission Statement

   Mission Statements

     Mission statement are principles you want to follow throughout your life. They consist of values you hold dear and help you in leading a meaningful life. I read about mission statements in "The 7 habits of highly effective people" and the idea of writing my own mission statement immediately appealed to me. You can write your mission statements on a notepad or in a diary which you go through regularly or even have it written in your laptop or desktop (I have them written both in my diary as well as my laptop) wherever you can go through them once in a while. Each of your mission statement should reflect the values you hold dear to you, the values you want to inculcate in your behavior and the things you want to achieve in your life. By going through your mission statements once in a while you stay on track of your goals (maybe becoming a better speaker, fitter individual or a better person overall). Mission statements are an amazing way of discovering yourself (most individuals don't know who they really are and what they want in life). You should definitely try writing your mission statements. It will hardly take 10-15 minutes of your time and would be a great gift for you from yourself to stay on track and achieve your goals. Your mission statements can evolve with time, you can always work on them as you get yourself more and more everyday. With this in mind I would like to share my mission statements. Hope they help someone write their own mission statement.
