1. What is my life about (Purpose)? 2. What do I stand for (Values)? 3. What actions do I take to manifest my Purpose and my Values? Stephen Covey writes that "an empowering Mission Statement… •Represents deepest and best within you. It comes out of a solid connection with your deep inner life. •Is fulfillment of your own unique gifts. It's expression of your unique capacity to contribute. •Addresses and integrates four fundamental human needs and capacities in physical, social/emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. •Deals with all significant roles in your life. It represents a lifetime balance of personal, family, work, community-whatever roles you feel are yours to fill. •Is written to inspire you-not to impress anyone else. It communicates to you and inspires you on most essential level." “Creating a Personal Mission Statement will be, without question, one of most powerful and significant things you will ever do to take leadership of you life. In it you will identify most important roles, relationships, and things in your life – who you want to be, what you want to do, to whom and what you want of give your life, principles you want to anchor your life to, legacy you want to leave. All goals and decisions you will make in future will be based upon it. It’s like deciding first which wall you want to lean your ladder of life against, and then beginning to climb. It will compass – a strong source of guidance amid stormy seas and pressing, pulling currents of you life.” Stephen Covey, author or The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People A Personal Vision/Mission can help propel you into a new job, or make your present job work better for you. The more connected your Personal Vision/Mission is to yourself, better it can guide your career and your life.

7. I EMBRACE THE JOURNEY. I interpret all of life's experiences as opportunities for learning, growth and contribution. I choose to move without faltering on an upward spiral of growth and change, improving continuously. I desire at all times to be free of limitation. 8. I HONOR MY SPIRITUAL SELF. I am a clear and open channel for God's divine peace, love and light. I carry inner peace of being connected to God's abundance and energy into every moment of my life. 9. I HONOR MY PHYSICAL SELF. I am a radiant expression of God. I am perfectly attuned to needs of my body and joyously respond to those needs. I nurture myself with healthy food, rest, exercise and relaxation. My life is full of grace, comfort and cleanliness. I enjoy financial security. I recognize that material abundance is a manifestation of richness of my true self and does not represent a choice between having and being. 10. I HONOR MY EMOTIONAL SELF. In all relationships, I freely give and graciously receive love, nurturing and support. Honesty is cornerstone of all my relationships. I enjoy a warm, loving relationship with a principle-centered person who cherishes me. Our relationship is based on sharing, and choosing to share, our lives, our time and our space with each other. 11. I HONOR MY MENTAL SELF. I seek to constantly expand my knowledge and awareness of life by regular exposure to new thoughts, ideas, people and places. I explore world, joyously and without fear.
