My Personal Vision Statement

(2013-05-21 11:59:54) 下一个

I got so impressed and inspired by and after reading the book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey, so after pondering my hearts honestly I made up my personal vision statement:

Motto: I am no longer after an easy life, but a fruitful life instead, which I expect to be not so easy.


1. good physical, mental, spiritual and social/emotional health for myself and my family members.
    
to achieve good physical health, I shall 
    -> eat only good foods;
    -> excercise no less than 30 minutes per day;
    -> face and manage any stress presented to my life.

to achieve good mental health, I shall
    -> think,
    -> organize, 
    -> read and 
    -> write on a constant basis.
   
to achieve good spiritual health, I shall
    -> pray,
    -> read good inspiring books;
    -> most importantly, examine my every motive.

to achieve good social/emotional health, I shall
    -> show genuine care to others;
    -> treat people as spiritual beings with souls;
    -> seek to serve in meaningful ways;
    -> do empathic listening;
    -> welcome feedbacks; 
    -> take courage to express myself effectively.


2. be my husband's genuine support

    I shall allow him to be himself, do things his way; value the differences between us
    I shall train myself to be a good listener, seek to understand him first; then express myself effectively
    I shall communicate with him using considerations and courage.
    Appreciate his effort of being a husband and father for three.
    Try to be very open on all life's subjects.
    Recognize and encourage righteousness, kindness and all other good characters.


3. be my children's teacher, mentor and role model

    Inspire greatness, one child at a time;
   
    Recognize and nourish independence and integrity, as well as other good characters; 
    -> take time to allow them do things on their own,
    -> guide them to think their way through.
   
    Encourage inter-dependence: 
    -> think win-win;
    -> nurture abundance mentality;
    -> seek to undertand first and
    -> build trust;
    -> seed to be understood / effective presentation;
    -> team work / value differences.



4. strive towards making significant contributions to meaningful things

    -> a healthy career life
    -> seek to make a difference at times



5. keep a life-long learning attitudes and take actions, keep exploring / learning new skills and skillful and godly wisdom.

    -> home decorating & home staging skills
    -> organization skills
    -> teaching skills
    -> communication skills
    -> all other cool skills



6. manage stress.

    -> life can be challenging at times, so get prepared. dust off stress regularly.
