I've been working/trying to formulate my personal vision statement for weeks. Here are a few items I needed to take inventory of and set goals:
Physical: to be healthy and active
Spiritual: to be closer to God and his direction
Work/Career: have a position of some prominence, a leader, member of a team, make a positive impact, be creative, have flexibility, and everyday enjoy what I do
Family: to be closer, do more together
Social relationships: have more friends
Financial security: make more money than I need, be debt free (except for a mortgage), be able to give generously and save for a retirement of leisure and no worries, have money to take several trips a year if I want to
Mental improvement and attention: continue to learn (professionally and personally), keep a sharp mind, have a good memory
Fun and travel: travel as much as I can, see the world, eat and drink good food and wine, enjoy the incredible beauty that's out there, read, listen to music and attend concerts, go to movies, and to always remember to enjoy the moment
What's on your list? Please share.
I have had these similar goals. We have had a plan that when ted turns 55, the mortgage is paid. I am not a people person, to be honest! Everyone disagrees with me, but I prefer idle time to reflect since I am not a fan idle talk. It is a Carmichael trait.
ReplyDeleteI found my way to spirituality when Gary was diagnosed with brain cancer, stage four. Of course, it would have to be the worse and least common. I begged God to take me and spare him. Gary was so at peace and prepared... no, he did not want to die. But his God held him, and in return, he held us.
Personal mission overview: i will continue to be debt free so that I can travel when I travel. I will live in the here and now - I never say "I should have.." I will accept those into my life with kindness and will remove myself from those who are manipulative.
I will try to be best human being each day. I will be honest, but not to a fault. Umm... working on that!
Finally, I will continue to envision my life and work to make it my reality!
Love it Tracey!
