Creating an image of what you want to find at the end is a simple idea. Whether it is a job, relationship, sporting event, or business venture, having a clear picture of the desired outcome is the best bet for anyone to find success in their pursuits. I implore this must be more in-depth than a vision of what you might want or the flawless finish you might dream of in your life. No, it should be more than that.

A person who wants to achieve the desired result must create more than just a dream of the impact they are after. They need to create a mission. And all significant assignments begin and are guided by a mission statement that clearly defines the desired outcomes of your efforts and the morals and principles driving you on the way. Through these character factors, we give our achievements value and long-lasting enjoyment.

Creating the Mission Plan

My experience makes it clear that the ending of something depends on the mission statement you have for that endeavor. If you move along with the flow of what feels good and accept what fate brings you, you are often blindsided by the results outside of what is suitable for you or desired. But how can you be angry when you created no shared vision in a mission statement between the parties at hand. In relationships, it is impossible to move in lockstep toward a mutually influential final destination if you never state it together; there is no way to move to a satisfactory

Mission at Work

Most people have been a part of a workforce and participated in the daily grind of working to produce a result that provides some service to the world. How many of these days have been guided by mission statements? I know that very few of my days were governed by a consistent guiding principle in my case. I would have some great days and be pretty successful, but with no end goal in mind, day-to-day managing behavior can be inconsistent at best and wrong.

To develop a successful career, you can rely on the luck of fate or create a mission statement around the results you want to see in the end. The information should list the desired effect and the morals, actions, and emotions you want to live by on the way to that goal. What do you want your days to be like? These thoughts will guide you when the days are complex and it is easy to lose your way. A focused mission plan will allow you to keep to your road, maintain your moral compass, and treat people in the manner you represent. The power is to write it down and have the courage and diligence to review and revise the mission regularly. This can be more difficult than you might imagine. Only in this way can your mission statement take on the learning and experience you gain in your life.

Mission Accomplished

I hope to implement mission statements into all facets of my life. To give me an end goal to follow and react towards as things change and shift as they inevitably will. The principles you establish in your mission will remain constant as you experience the change around you. If honesty, integrity, and service are essential to you, then include these things in your mission statement and live up to them to fulfill your desired result.

I challenge you to write a mission statement within a short window to see how this process will work for you. Take tomorrow, for example. Write a mission statement about how you want the day to go and the results you want to see at the end of that day. What morals and ideals do you want to be attached to you throughout the day? What negatives do you want to avoid? Keep the mission statement in mind as you make choices throughout your day. You can see that writing this down in a place will keep your mission fresh in your mind. The things you are conscious of are going to guide you. See what you can accomplish by doing this, evaluate the results, and then do it again.

Let’s get these missions started. Follow them in your work, home, and relationships, and see what type of life you can consciously create by being aware of the ending you want to know as you work toward it. The life you create is exactly the one you set your mission to accomplish, or it can be the result of someone else’s mission if you are not careful. You can consciously create things in and with your life or be a pawn of fate and circumstances. No more excellent choice of power exists between people.
