I could just kick myself.
Where have I been? I’m not even
close to being done reading ‘The 7 Habits of Effective People’ and I cannot
believe that I did not pick up that book years ago. As a parent and educator, Covey’s habits are
irrefutable. As I read through the first
three habits, I started to wonder how many people could truly be impacted if
they only had the knowledge and exposure to this perspective?! What if everyone had a mission statement?
As the last few days of July wind down, I find myself
reflecting on a personal mission statement as well as one for our family. A sense of urgency runs through me as I read
what Covey states, “. . .other people begin to sense that you’re not being driven
by everything that happens to you. You
have a sense of mission about what you’re trying to do and you are excited
about it.”
What is your mission statement? Can others sense you have a mission? And have you taken the time to create a
family mission statement? If so, what
are the key pieces you have found?
