Here is another one of "The Action Principles" by the American Success Institute that I thought I'd share with you. I hope you find this as useful as I did.
Write a Personal Mission Statement
Create for yourself an evolving document that outlines your purpose in life. Who are you? What are your values? What do you intend to do with your time to make your one life meaningful? Excepting acts of God, it is you who determines your future. You don't have to listen to those who say you are too old, too young, too poor, too unattractive, too uneducated, or the wrong color, gender, or nationality.
When you read an inspirational passage in a book, magazine or newspaper, write it down or clip it out. Put everything together in a folder or box. This will serve as your motivational reserve and will help you create a personal mission statement.
Your mission statement only has to be a few sentences or paragraphs. Refer to your mission statement periodically and don't be afraid to change it as you grow. A mission statement will help you to establish a foundation upon which you can build your dreams and goals and from which will flow your objectives and daily to-do list.
Good Luck!!!
