As we think of ourselves, as we understand our disabilities and realign our basic paradigm to bring them in harmony with correct principles we create both an effective empowering and a clear lens through which we see the world. We can then focus that lens through which we see the world.

A significant quote by Victor Frankl, “we detect rather than invent our missions in life”.

Each of us has a sense or monitor inside us that monitors and realign our paradigm and create awareness of our own uniqueness.

Again as frankl says “Everyone has there own specific vocation or mission in life. Therein they cannot be replaced, nor can there life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is there specific opportunity to implement it.”

Our meaning comes from within. Again, in the words of Frankl, “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.”

As proactive people, you should begin to give expression to what we want to be and to do in our lives that is known as personal mission statement.

To determine your personal mission statement you need to introspection, careful analysis, thoughtful expression, and often many rewrites to produce it in final form. It takes days to determine it. Even then, you will want to review it regularly and make minor changes as the years bring additional insights or changing circumstances.

I recently finished reviewing my own mission statement, which I do fairly regularly. I find the process is as important as the product.

Writing or reviewing a mission statement changes you because it forces you to think through your priorities deeply, carefully, and to align your behavior with your beliefs.

You have a sense of mission about what you’re trying to do and you are excited about it.
