My very first blog post was from May 10, 2013. In that post, I wrote about my Personal Mission Statement 2012. I only found it fitting to revisit the Mission Statement two & a half years later and see if anything had changed, Revisiting My Personal Mission Statement (November 12, 2015). Then I experienced more of this thing called like, and you guessed it, I decided to Re-Revisit Personal Mission Statement (August 2017). So... guess what?! Its Personal Mission Statement Time! I have found that when I feel like I am missing purpose or had a major shift in life, this statement needs to be re-visit (not necessarily re-done but re-understood) - again, approximately 2 years later. There is a bit of a difference this time; I have introduced a Vision Statement to the equation. The Vision Statement is my ultimate life goal, what am I working towards. The Mission Statement is how I plan to achieve the Vision.
Here were a few questions that I have kept in mind as I reviewed the statement:
2. Did I hold myself accountable to the statement in which I produced? Yes - like most of the time...I think...
3. Was the statement an accurate reflection of my core personal values? Yes - my deepest core.
4. Has the statement stood the test of time (well, 2.5 years)? Yes.
The Vision
Leading a Grace-filled life of learning, intentionality, and purpose.
The Mission
