Sounds like a rhetorical question? We often mull over a mission and vision statement for our business or company. How many times do we stop to think our own life purpose or mission? Clarity needs to prevail in our mind before anything else. Nobody wants to stay the same person forever. We all want to learn, grow and evolve. That, however, needs some serious thinking.
Our mission in life is the purpose of our life. It is like a task that we assign to ourselves. A mission outlines everything that you want to be and do. It tells you what happiness and success look like. It reflects your values, your beliefs and your innate strengths.
A good mission statement:
- Is clear and concise and resonates with your inner self
- States your intentions and reflects your values
- Answers your what, why and how
- Tells you where you want to be
- Guides you to carve a path to your destination
A mission statement gives you a direction in life, it sometimes even stops you from going astray. It pulls you towards itself and reinforces the feeling of fulfilment and achievement. Whether you mission is to help others or to help yourself, never be judgemental because this is who you are and your mission is a reflection of your personality.
