Personal Mission Statement
October 26th 2006 12:42
Are you driven by external forces that keep you bouncing back and forth as if you were in an old '70s pin ball machine? These forces are often vaguely referred to as Stress. Whatever it is called, there will always be external demands and forces moving us one way or another. What dictates how much is what is within--the internal drive that is anchored to values and passion.
In my work with empowering people to thrive rather than simply survive, I have found that the most successful and happy are the ones that create a personal mission statement that is fueled by passion and values.
It is important for each of us, if we seek enhanced quality and meaning in our lives, to identify what is important to us---what is really important to us. The degree of importance is where the passion comes from. The focus is where the values come from.
What is important? Find it, feed it, and let it take you away!
Those driven by identified values that resonate within themselves are on a purpose-driven path that has meaning, at least to them. Those who choose to live on a course less driven by internal values may find immediate satisfactions and enjoyments. Yet, deeper satisfaction may be lacking without some degree of internal focus, motivation, and drive.
When fully reliant on external forces for meaning and satisfaction, such rewards will simply be more random and by chance.
