A mission statement is not something you write overnight but fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life. Stephen Covey
I have been working on my values for years. They have evolved over time. I expect both my values and mission to continue to change as I grow. I am a deep thinker (over thinker-some would say) who examines my intentions and motivations. As I have grown older, I have found my motivations to be purer and less ego driven then they were in my 20s. My greatest hope is that I continue to grow and change even into old-old age...and on my death bed I am wondering and thinking how to make an authentic, vibrant exit...
At this time, my values are:
Spirit-solitude, connection with the divine, prayer, nature, meditation, gratitude
Authenticity- truth, integrity, knowing my intention, being present
Connection-family, friends, community, nature, spirit
Contentment- order, organization-home and finances, security
Creativity- growth, learning interest, adventure
Health- being comfortable in my own skin, strong, vibrant
Kindness- unconditional acceptance, seeing the light in all I meet, knowing others are doing the best they can
My mission is to connect with Spirit so I in turn live authentically, creatively and vibrantly while offering unconditional acceptance to others.
