Life Plan... To those that haven't found their purpose or even iffy to set goals in life, composing a Life Plan is difficult feat. It's embarrassing to say, but I am part of that group. Well, I do have plans in life but I tend to do it in the most obscure kind of way. The more abstract my plan is, the better. I find comfort in the assurance that I have a higher chance for success if I lack the timeline and metrics for it. It all changed when I was required to to a career and life plan for an assignment. I was put into a pedestal, and I did not have a choice but to do it(maybe I did, it was just risky not do it for my grades sake).
Part of that life plan was to create a personal vision and mission statement. After careful thought, I managed to come up with these:
Personal Vision Statement
I
envision myself as an individual of character and competence, committed to live
a life of passion, compassion, with a pursuit for excellence, while staying
true to self.
Personal
Mission Statement
My mission is to find
peacefulness within myself by looking inward while using my heart and mind to
pursue knowledge, creating balance among all my obligations. I want to build a
reputation of being dedicated to every goal I choose to pursue while having successes
in per personal and professional life.
An AHA moment! I didn't expect it, but these simple statements made a profound impact in me. When I was young, I was always intrigued what Serena must feel like when she transforms into Sailor Moon. I think I had a taste of that when I made my vision and vision. I felt a sudden surge of enlightenment because it put things into perspective. My actions are a reflection of what my vision and mission is in life. It was easier to create my career and life plan after that.
