Attention!
This is a call for participation.
I am working on collecting Personal Mission Statements from readers and writers, near and far. Benjamin from WOWNDADI and I are collaborating on this project, and it looks to be a lot of fun.
We will be publishing a Carnival of Mission Statements featuring your own submissions and links to other personal development bloggers around the world. Get involved!
Please add your own Personal Mission Statement in the Comments, or e-mail them to stephen [at] hdbizblog [dot] com.
See this post for more info. I’d also like to give a shout-out to Kate at Blog to Discovery for getting this started!
Here are some of the other bloggers that are participating:
gtdfrk at Getting Things Done
Lodewijk at How to Be an Original
Lisa from The 360 Alliance sent this:
This is really me in a nutshell.
My vision: peace.
My mission:
• The peaceful activism of empowered women and men
• The contagious strength of families in aligned relationship
• The breathtaking momentum of inspired young people
• The transformative fire of artists working on purpose
• The globally healing leadership of conscious corporations
Benjamin sent us a pic of how he keeps his personal mission statement handy:

Words Within provides this vision for growth:
Reading online is one of my passions. It was a great day when I found Google Reader and was able to navigate my way around RSS and Atom feeds! I love reading just about anything on which I can lay my hands.
Being an avid reader, I often throttle myself about the lack of time that I have to read published works: but if you would count the amount of reading I do online, it would amount to about a 500 page book per week!
I am constantly on a journey of self-exploration and growth. All that I read on my daily RSS feeds as well as anywhere else helps me to grow. My latest “spurt” is incorporating both GTD and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, with the guidance of Stephen at Productivity in Context. From his blog, I have leapt also to read Christine O’Kelly, who is indeed a very powerful and down-to-earth person.
Creating my own blog at blog.wordswithin.info, I gather things that are of interest to me and I would hope to others as well. I have an eclectic mix of material in which most anyone should be able to find something that they like. I am also happy to accept critiques and suggestions: without them we never learn!
Thanks, I am looking forward to sharing more of these with you. For more information on writing your own Personal Mission Statement, see this post[link]. And you can download a worksheet here [right-click and “Save As”].
UPDATE: A reader has submitted a new mission statement:
“God preserves His order despite our chaos.”
It reminds me that there is order in spite of failure to create, much less
