Dan's Personal Mission Statement

Why have a mission statement?

It serves as a "distillation of fundamental values, principles, and major life purpose."
It provides a basis for decision-making, life-directing decisions and "true north" daily decisions amidst the cacophony of circumstances and emotions.
A mission statement is a lighthouse in the fog. It enables us to travel in faith that we are headed in the right direction, even when the path immediately ahead is obscure.
It helps -- when you tackle a new project -- to "Begin with the end in mind."

Who says?

Lots of people! I was first introduced to this idea by Stephen Covey's 1989 bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
