Habit 2: Your Mission Statement

After reading the Habit 2 section from the book, you know it is important to begin with the end in mind, meaning it is important to set and focus on your goals.

Using your journal response that painted a clear picture of where you'd like to be in one year, your responses to The Great Discovery on p. 86, and the many examples in the chapter, craft YOUR OWN mission statement. You could use one of the suggestions on p. 90 (except method 4) or come up with your own unique idea!

  1. I chose to do a mission statement about myself. The reason I chose to do so is because, there is only one of me. I decided to an acronym that describes me. I feel strong, hard working, artistic, and enthusiastic describe me the best. Strong, to start off, I do a lot of lifting with my job, and when someone dies in the facility I work in, you have to be strong and keep your cool. Hard working, this also goes with my job. I'm on my feet a lot, and have to make rash decisions. Artistic, whenever I'm bored, I like to doodle. that's what I mostly do, even at work. Enthusiastic, I chose that because I like to like people laugh, and put them in good moods.

    S- Strong
    H- Hard working
    A- Artistic
    E- Enthusiastic

  2. My mission Statement is how to t do better in life as it is in school, sports, and not school reality. I believe that I am a hard working person, underfund helper, and good student. I find myself as hard working because I work really hard in my classes to keep up and stay in task. When it come to football I pay attention and ask questions if I had any about anything that we went over like a play, a spell team place or a deference of play. I find myself is a helper because if someone needs help and they ask me for help I help them when ever they need it. I also find myself as a good student because when the teacher is talking I am not and I pay attention so I know what to do in the homework assignment.

  3. My mission Statement is how to do better in life. I say this because there is a lot of things i could work on such as paying attention better, and get better grades this year. I say i could pay attention better because if i would pay attention I would be able to get better grades because then I would be paying attention and understand whats going on. Get better grades because I need to get good grades this year so I can graduate

  5. My mission statement is how i can achieve the most greatness out of my life. I say this because there are many things everyone can do to make there life a little easier and also more stress free or healthy if you say. I think i can do better in school excel in sports more and also become a little more hard working or at least helpful to people when they need me. i could also work harder in school because some would say i don't work to my full potential as Mr. Brahmer would say. i am a fixer i like fixing things and think of ways how i can fix it if it breaks i love building things and the person that inspired me the most to work hard and try to excel at anything you would do would be Jordan Burroughs it hits close to home when he tells the things he says because he went to UNL and i have went to many camps that he has taught so ive went hand in hand to the things he tells kids to try and excel in your life.

  10. My mission statement would be how to do better in life. Although i try my hardest to be the best i can i do still have things i could work on. Procrastination being one. If i could just break that habit im sure i could do alot better in life and i would relieve myself of much stress. A favorite quote of mine is " Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later" basically meaning that the decisions you make now will be what makes your future what it will be.

  11. My mission statement in life is to stay positive whether I fail or succeed and never stop trying. I find that as my biggest challenge in life is keeping my head up in tough situations. I cannot stop trying because that will not get me anywhere. I can't look at things at loosing I have to tell myself I have time to better myself. Another thing I am going to add to my mission statement is working hard for what I believe. I feel that people go on with their life not fighting for what they want or believe. It's time to take charge.

  13. My mission statement would be to better know myself and not be so shy most of the time. I want to try and have more friends than just having one friend. I want to be able to talk to people and have a conversation instead of have a short conversation.
