The Mission Statement: Day 6 (based on Creating a New Mission Statement from the New York Times)
How do you define success in your life?
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" - Winston Churchill
"There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morely
It is day six of my quest for a personal mission statement. When I first read today's question I thought it would be difficult for me to answer. For assistance I turned to Google and did a search for "quotes about success." I thought I'd be spending a lot of time browsing words of wisdom but suprisingly enough the two quotes above were on the first page I looked at and both resonated with me.
Success for me means living life on my own terms in pursuit of my own purpose. And it also means a willingness to keep seeking because my purpose today may not be the same tomorrow or a year from now, and there may very well be days that I feel lost. Success is being able to live the life I choose.
And, well, hopefully having a roof over my head, food in my belly and community of wonderful people around me. That would be a part of success for me too.
One more day to go!
