Do You Have a Mission or Purpose for Yourself?

Posted on July 09, 2009 by Davida Shensky, One of Thousands of Career Coaches on Noomii.

A company will post in their store the company mission, but people don't write out their goals for themselves. How can you find success without goals

A mission statement or written goals are the things we plan to achieve with our lives. As children we often hear our parents tell us what our goals in life should be—how we should act, what our expectations for ourselves should be, where we should live, what we should choose for a profession, where we should go to school, or what our grades should be. After hearing these things so many times we repeat these things to ourselves or hear them in our heads as a tape recording.

Even though our parents may mean well they very well be setting you up for failure rather than success, unwittingly. What can you do to change this trend. We often repeat the mistakes our parents made because we learn how to act by the way we are raised.

If you are someone who doesn’t like yourself very much, you will often repeat the negative statements you are telling yourself to you children, first you have to learn to change your behavior—that is easier said then done.

First you have to learn to listen to yourself, then you have to see where the conflict is so you become aware of them, write them down, to change this negativity—write positive affirmations and then repeat them to yourself until you belive them.

Once you learn to believe in yourself, then write down a goal that is achievable. After that write out each step you need to follow to achieve that goal or personal mission. As you work towards that goal keep patting yourself on the back until you reach the final step. When you reach that personal goal celebrate.

If you keep doing this and become more aware of your feelings, eventually you will expect yourself to succeed all the time. Another thing to do is get around successful people and learn everything you can about what they do to find success for themselves. If you are around positive people you become positive and have high expectations. If you hang around people with low expectations who expect to fail, then you will learn to fail.

It is up to you to learn to make the right choices so you can find out what you have a passion for so you can find success in your personal life. Learn to know who you are from the inside out.
