"It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are."
— Roy Disney
Creating a Personal Mission Statement will be, without question, one of the most powerful and significant things you will ever do to take leadership of your life. In it you will identify the first, most important roles, relationships, and things in your life—who you want to be, what you want to do, to whom and what you want to give your life, the principles you want to anchor your life to, the legacy you want to leave. All the goals and decisions you will make in the future will be based upon it. It will be a compass—a strong source of guidance amid the stormy seas and pressing, pulling currents of your life.
