]]> Comment on Thinking Through Your Personal Mission Statement by Layla http://www.outstandingclub.com/2008/04/25/thinking-through-your-personal-mission-statement/#comment-51 Layla Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:07:37 +0000 http://www.outstandingclub.com/?p=18#comment-51 Mission statemetns are critical for visually setting a goal and articulating what is most important and valued in your life/company. Companies and people reflect not only the specific vision and goals but also give a flavor of personality and the culture based on how the mission is written. For example, one of Nike's famous mission statements was simply, "Crush Reebok." This was not a flowery, long, detailed explanation of values but most certainly got to the point of the company culture. I was attending Scimitar Leadership Academy during a summer in college and we had to leave the trip with a personal mission statement. They provided many resources and books telling us how to write a mission statement, what is critical to include in a mission statement, etc. I found myself bound by these parameters and felt that it made the whole process formulaic and missing the authenticity a mission statement requires. This is, afterall, the values on which I am basing my life and goals and should be very personal. After many revisions I felt that I can sum up my values in the following: Love Unconditionally. Live Passtionately. Always Bestow Beauty on Earth. I would encourage anyone to at least give a personal mission statement a try and see where it leads them. You never know what you might learn about yourself when you start physically writing down your list of priorities and goals.
