my vision

*Use these questions to guide your thoughts.
What are the ten things you most enjoy doing? Be honest. These are the ten things without which your weeks, months, and years would feel incomplete.
What three things must you do every single day to feel fulfilled in your work?
What are your five-six
most important values?
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


*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?Craft Your Personal Vision Statement
Once you have thoughtfully prepared answers to these questions and others that you identify, you are ready to craft a personal vision statement. Write in first person and make statements about the future you hope to achieve. Write the statements as if you are already making them happen in your life. Some experts recommend 50 words or less, but I would rather see you fully articulate the vision you want for your life and your future, than be limited by word count.
Motivational speaker and writer, Brian Tracy, states that you generally accomplishment your written goals, dreams, plans, and vision. Writing them down lends power and commitment to their accomplishment.
Keep in mind that your personal vision statement can also change over time, depending upon what is happening in your life. You will be amazed, however, at how many components remain consistent over time. I first articulated this vision for my life in 1984; this personal vision statement guides my life... :)
