Mission Statements Program
A mission is an inner urge to pursue an activity or perform a service. A mission is what one intends to do or achieve and we all have a mission. It is up to you to determine what inspires you. What is your mission, your aim, your intent, or your goal in life? Your mission does not have to be big enough to change the galaxy but big enough to change your world.
"Purpose is imperative for its...the original intent for the creation of a thing, the original reason for the existence of a thing, the end for which the means exist, the cause for the creation of a thing, the desired result that initiates production, the need that makes a manufacturer produce a specific product, the destination that prompts the journey, the expectation of the source, the objective for the subject, the aspiration for the inspiration, and the object one wills or resolves to have.
Personal fulfillment is the only true measure of success. Plans may change, but purpose is constant. Purpose allows you to be yourself. Possessions, fame, status and power can never be substituted for a personal sense of purpose and significance. If you believe that others hold the key to your success and fulfillment, then you will live to please them and to fulfill their expectations. True freedom and fulfillment are possible only as you discover and understand your personal purpose. I declare independence from the expectations and the opinions of others. I must defy their standards of success and refuse to imprison my identity within the life style or the preferences of others. I am motivated to maximize the opportunities." - Devri Pratt, NSU Emerging Leader.
