Reflection on Mission Statement

The process of writing my mission statement took much longer than I originally thought it would because I did not realize how much thought needed to go into it. I had to take time to figure out not only my mission statement, but also what my main roles and values are. This mission statement really made me think about how I want others to see me and how I want to see myself. I realized many of my strengths, but also my weaknesses. For each role I tried to pinpoint a value which would help me to mature in that identity. I think this mission statement will be useful for me because I do better when I have something concrete to look at. I am much more likely to succeed at a goal if I write it down. I will be able to change my mission statement as my roles evolve, but this is a good starting place.
