ExhaustedYou’ve probably found it’s easy to lose perspective when life becomes about the hundreds of things on your task list.

It’s also impossible to feel a sense of accomplishment because you never complete everything on your to-do list.

Live with purpose

No matter how hectic life gets, the most successful people are able to rise above the chaos and keep their perspective. Because of this, they have an overriding vision of what life is all about. Ultimately, they understand what their mission in life is.

When you know your mission, it’s easier to do things you dislike. This is because you understand how each task fits in with your life goals. Your goals give meaning, motivation, and direction to your life.

Why a Vision Board?

Real estate has a term: “highest and best use.” This phrase is used to appraise the value of property—and is it being utilized in the best way it can be. In fact, A mission statement—and the process of creating one—helps you uncover your personal highest and best use.

Viktor Frankl, the Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor said, “The thing I learned is that you don’t invent your mission, you detect it. You uncover it, as it were.”

The Vision Board takes you step by step on a journey of introspection by asking thought-provoking questions. As a result, they will help you uncover your core values and highest goals.

A Why Statement/Mission Statement might sound like this…

“I lead my life centered around principles of excellence, empowerment, growth, and humility. I remember what is important in life, recognize my own and other’s strengths, and consistently work toward becoming my best-balanced self—for the benefit of myself and those around me.”

Mission statements can be long, or short. A brief one might be:

“Live, love, laugh.”

However, it’s not the length of the mission statement that matters. It’s as long as it takes for you to feel you’ve articulated what’s at your core. Which also means that mission statements are non-transferrable—only you can uncover what is yours.

Author Os Guinness writes, “The search for the purpose of life is one of the deepest of our experiences as human beings.” He continues, “Deep in our hearts, we all want to find and fulfill a purpose bigger than ourselves, for each of us the real purpose is personal and passionate: to know what we are to do and why.”

The Vision Board is included with the 14-day-free-trial of PlanPlus Online Essentials.
