Setting Your Personal Vision
Clarifying what matters most and
understanding any obstacles in your way will help shape into an inspiring
vision of who you want to be. Asking yourself questions such as 'What do I
believe?' or 'When they read my eulogy, what should it say about me?', can
illuminate values that drive meaningful decisions throughout every day - creating a roadmap towards being the best
version of yourself possible! They can make or break us in achieving success -
determining how effectively we pursue our goals and if those
efforts bear fruit.
Understanding Your Values
Our values are deeply-rooted, unique motivations
that inspire us to make choices about how we live each day; in contrast,
principles provide a stable foundation for universal conduct. To determine
which values guide you through life, consider concepts such as integrity,
courage, acceptance or respect - just to name a few. With these four core
beliefs established firmly within your heart and mind will come an increased sense
of purpose with every decision made!
Identifying Our Influences
Those special few may or may not know how
much they mean to us; however, their guidance has left an indelible mark on our
hearts regardless. From teachers providing indispensable knowledge which pushed
us towards higher achievements, to friends believing in a brighter future for
all of mankind - each person represented something different but equally
important within my life story arc. Above them all stands two names: firstly
Mrs Harper-Thomas –my former English teacher– whose inspirational lessons gave
me confidence and courage throughout my school years; secondly Mr Ramirez –a
colleague from work–whose support over the last five years led me to discover
new paths toward success I had never anticipated before!
Think in Terms of Relationships
Think of four individuals you consider
significant in personal or professional pursuits--perhaps a boss whose guidance
has been invaluable, an encouraging friend or family member with whom you share
something meaningful, one of your peers that helps push you further than ever
before towards success, and maybe even someone under your care where mutual
understanding continues to thrive. All these relationships are key components as
we journey through life!
Take a journey into the future and envision three qualities your boss sees in you. Then, ponder how a peer views you - what would they say? Afterwards, consider an appraisal from someone who reports to you; will their opinion be positive or negative? Finally, reflect on yourself through the eyes of one who cares for you deeply: What kind words do they have? If desired, craft a phrase that captures all your sterling traits!
