Get this….I heard this morning on the radio that scientist have discovered they actually believe that the world has 25 hours in each day not 24? What would you do if you had an extra hour every day?
Answer this question before you continue…..
Take sleep off your list…how about exercise, work, study, read, spend time with family, learn a new skill, and spend time with friends?
NO we don’t have 25 hours in a day, but do we spend the time we do have on truly the most important things in life? So the question we have to ask ourselves is how will we define our life?
The best method is for us to create a personal mission statement on how I want to live my life. A personal mission statement is a written proclamation of who you are and what you’re about. It should express the contributions you want to make during your lifetime, the things you want to do and the kind of person you want to be.
I find it interesting that most people buy life insurance to protect their life but very few create their own personal mission statement on how they want to live their lives! Your personal mission statement is an affirmation of your highest priorities, which you have determined by your roles and values in life. It is your “Dash”, if you will. That little mark between the dates you were born and the date that indicates when you leave this earth, an extremely important icon.
I would like to share with you my personal mission statement to give you a better understanding and give you encouragement for you to write your own mission statement if you do not currently have one.
“My God is the path I will follow. My family is my number one priority to care for and love. The person I am is made by my integrity as a person. I am a creative individual always looking for ways to be innovative in my life and career. My health and fitness gives me the strength to prepare for the daily challenges of life. I will always share my talents and knowledge with others who are important to me.”
I wrote this on July 17, 2006 and I can tell you since I have determined my highest priorities I have been spending more time in the areas that I mention in my personal mission statement. Now, I don’t profess to be perfect but when you have a roadmap to where you are going it is amazing because you normally follow the right path. You see it wasn’t always like this for me. I was always growing the business and I almost missed out on some of the most important things in life like my children growing up.
I think I have succeeded today in sharing with you some knowledge that I have gained over the years. I will admit I feel great today because I have followed my mission statement.
Action #5: I make people and things flourish by the amount of time and care I give to them.
Spend time with people important in your life. Show those people you love and care for them. Time is a gift from God, use it wisely.
