Your personal vision statement guides your life and
provides the direction necessary to chart 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. It illuminates
your way.
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?
My own personal vision statement includes such items as
reading and writing every day; coaching and training; writing a motivational
book; sharing a lifetime of knowledge about people, management, and workplaces
with a vast international audience; having a positive impact on every person
with whom I come in contact; living daily a life dedicated to integrity,
commitment, challenge, and joy; valuing a few close friends; valuing family
relationships; being at all times aware of and engaged in my natural
environment; inventing and writing about recipes and food; traveling the world
to experience its richness; watching plays and movies; listening to music;
never having to worry about money
