Creating Vision Statement

Jumat, Januari 16, 2009

Your personal vision statement guides your life. Your personal vision statement provides the direction necessary to guide the course of your days and the choices you make about your career. Your personal vision statement is the light shining in the darkness toward which you turn to find your way. Your personal vision statement illuminates your way.

Obviously, I am a huge fan of personal vision statements. Write your personal vision statement as the first step in focusing your life - for your joy, your accomplishments, your contribution, your glory, and for your legacy.
Exploration to Prepare to Write the Personal Vision Statement

Use these questions to guide your thoughts.

* What are the ten things you most enjoy doing? Be honest. These are the ten things without which your weeks, months, and years would feel incomplete.

* What three things must you do every single day to feel fulfilled in your work?

* What are your five-six most important values?

* Your life has a number of important facets or dimensions, all of which deserve some attention in your personal vision statement. Write one important goal for each of them: physical, spiritual, work or career, family, social relationships, financial security, mental improvement and attention, and fun.

* If you never had to work another day in your life, how would you spend your time instead of working?

* When your life is ending, what will you regret not doing, seeing, or achieving?

* What strengths have other people commented on about you and your accomplishments? What strengths do you see in yourself?

* What weaknesses have other people commented on about you and what do you believe are your weaknesses?
