What’s Your Mission Statement and Why You Want One

Napoleon Hill called it your “definite purpose” and now we call it a mission statement.

MissionMission
It’s mostly used by business to define the mission of the brand or business. I recently started reading a book called “Principles” which is what it sounds like –  a book about principles.  It essentially touches the same idea – that humans work well with a guiding mantra for their life – a mission statement.
Mission
It sounds DAUNTING, I know. “How do I define my life and what I stand for in one short sentence?!” But it’s actually somewhat simple.  It’s a statement built around your:
  • Beliefs
  • The kind of person you are/want to be
  • Principles
  • Priorities
Why a mission statement for your life can be so helpful is because it is a guidance system by which all decisions can be measured.
Mission
As I mentioned business have them.  Starbucks’ is “Our mission: to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time.”  What I like about mission statements is that they transcend goals but they can change!  It’s like having a compass in your pocket to pull out when you start to feel confused or overwhelmed.
Mission
It allows you to define the terms on which you will live your life and it will make decision easier because you have defined who you are and what you stand for.

Today would have been my beloved Audrey’s sweet 16th birthday. She crossed the rainbow bridge on 5/4/22 and my life will never be the same. She will always be the sweetest, most loyal, perfect girl.

This photo was taken on Damien’s first trip to Nashville. We went to find a waterfall that was two hours away and while there ran into a photographer. He offered to take some pictures of us, without knowing it was Damien’s birthday. He emailed them to us a day later. It’s still one of my favorite pictures. #happyvalentinesday @damien_keeter 💕
