1. A mission statement causes you to expand your perspective, and to examine your innermost thoughts and feelings. In this process you clarify the purpose of your life and identify what is really important to you.
2. Writing a mission statement is much like a treasure hunt in that it helps you to uncover talents, interests, and your deepest desires.
3. A mission statement forces you to clarify and express succinctly your deepest values and aspirations.
4. A mission statement imprints your values and purposes firmly in your mind so it becomes a part of you instead of something you might have thought about just casually in passing.
5. The integration of your personal mission statement into daily and weekly planning gives you a tangible method of keeping your vision constantly before you.
6. A mission statement is the beginning of personal leadership. It sets parameters and guidelines for how you live your life.
7. Writing a mission statement forces you to think deeply about your life. And the best way to internalize your mission is to re-write and refer to it continuously.
8. At some point in life, everyone longs for a sense of meaning and purpose. A mission statement helps you to uncover talents and contributions that reveal your very reason for existence.
9. Crafting a mission statement allows you to connect with your own unique purpose and the profound satisfaction that comes in fulfilling it.
10. A personal mission statement helps you to address three important questions: What is my life about?, What do I stand for?, What actions am I taking to live what my life is about and what I stand for?

~ Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.
I've been reading about you and visiting your web page for a couple of years now. You are truly a main ingredient to a tasteful and fulfilling life. It is such a pleasure to have you as a MySpace Friend!
And if you ask anybody on MySpace, they will tell you that I love a beautiful smile!
Today's message about "Wait!..." was one of your most powerful ones ever! Perfectly timed! Thanks so much for your continued encouragement. Ok, signing off the computer now! ;-) peace n' blessings.
In the movie City Slickers, a group of friends take a “vacation” at a dude ranch. Curley, played by Jack Palance, is a crusty yet wise old cowboy who shares the following with Mitch, played by Billy Crystal: Curley: Do you know what the secret of life is? Mitch: No, what? Curley: This. (Holds up his index finger.) Mitch: Your finger? Curley: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean [anything]. Mitch: That’s great, but what’s the one thing? Curley: That’s what you’ve got to figure out!
Great scene … great advice. Leaders have to figure out the One Thing that defines a meaningful purpose for their teams. The One Thing should answer the question Why are we here? You may think that finding that focus isn’t critical; but in fact, it’s essential to your success. The most important thing in business (and life) is deciding what is most important.
Your team’s One Thing might be: producing defect-free materials; providing the fastest service available; developing leading-edge products; creating relationships that customers cannot walk away from; or meeting the technology needs of other departments. These are just examples – your One Thing has to be your One Thing. And it should guide all of your decisions and actions.
Even after you find your One Thing, sticking to it can be a challenge while you put out fires and explore new opportunities. Don’t be tempted to think, as some do, that you can keep piling on initiatives and still maintain your team’s focus. You may find yourself in the middle of the “Ship is Adrift” Syndrome. Instead, consider automating, streamlining or outsourcing areas that are not core to your team’s operation.
A laser-sharp focus does not happen overnight. It takes time and effort to refine, reinforce, and communi-cate your One Thing. But you need to start now. Blurred focus creates confusion – resulting in diffused employee efforts. Stay focused! Remember Curley!
