Create Your Personal Vision Statement

If you have read this site for any time, you know I am a fierce advocate of periodically assessing your goals and direction. You deserve more than a purposeless life.

Consequently, your personal vision statement guides your life. Your personal vision statement provides the direction necessary to guide the course of your days and the choices you make about your career.

Your personal vision statement is the light shining in the darkness toward which you turn to find your way. Your personal vision statement illuminates your way.

I have shared my personal vision with you. And, our new "user answers" capability at About.com allows you to share your personal vision. Some of our readers have already shared theirs and they are motivational and touch my heart.

Some of you will sit down and write a personal vision for your career and life. Others may want some steps and to read some samples. Each of you will be interested to find out how to develop your personal vision statement and see what readers have shared about their personal visions.
