What's Your Mission?

In the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey recommends that you write a mission statement. The purpose of the mission statement is to help you reflect on your goals, then clarify the actions you take, and will take, in order to meet your ultimate goals in life. The mission statement helps you create a clear path to reaching those goals. When I wrote my mission statement, I thought about what is important to me in life and in my career. I have a passion for building up people, for equipping them with the resources and knowledge they need to be successful in life. As a wife, mother, daughter, teacher, administrator, minister, author, friend, and life coach, these concepts always resonate with me. They guide my actions to help me fulfill my purpose in life. Life is so much more fulfilling when we are able to help others lead a fulfilling life themselves. We should help and support others when given the opportunity to help them thrive in their own lives and careers. The only way to leave a legacy is to lead others to greatness: By your fruits you will be known.
