My Personal Mission Statement....

Few Months back i was reading a book and it prompted different questions and scenarios. It wanted me to assume that I am DEAD and one of my parents, spouse, close friend, family member, colleague will have to come up and say a few words about me? What would I like them to say about me when i am dead?

Continuing the book, i found another interesting point: It asked that what is my biggest wish in this life that i want to achieve? Even Before i could query my biggest wish in my mind, it asked another question: How much time do i spend in a day to achieve it? For me it was a full stop.....


We all have our dreams, passions, desires, obsessions. we can think it happen several times in a day in our fantasy worlds. But seriously, how much time we actually give them to transform from wish to achievement? Not only this, we Somehow program it in our subconscious to live like a victim, just sit idle, build castles in the air and Held destiny for most of our failures. I am no exception either


But those thoughts 'Clicked' my brain and i asked myself 'Who am i and What am i doing in this world?'. The most important replies i got was 'I am Human, created by Allah, he Loves me and then i have to go back and will be held responsible for my activities'. Those were factual replies, but i didn't get satisfied. Then, i asked my soul, 'What kind of person you want me to be?' I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and then i got the answer that felt to satisfy my conscious. On those feelings, I for the first time, wrote my 'Personal Mission Statement'. 


In my Mission Statement, I wrote down what i felt i am borned to do,  How should i treat people, how should i deal with myself, what should i do in different circumstances, how can i control my emotions and anger, what i want to achieve as a human, as an employee, as a Muslim, as a Husband, as a son, as a Father. 


I also created my plans to achieve it. I am not sure if i am going to achieve them as i planned, but at least in my heart i know that i am sincere and doing everything i possibly could have done. 


Every time when i feel lost, driven by circumstances which i cannot control, I read my mission statement. Since its directly from my soul, i feel i am reprogrammed and get back to the track


Life by nature is made to dictate terms, either we like it or not, it has its own flow. This flow is not going to change on someone's wish or circumstances. The Basic idea is not to change the flow, but to change ourselves and keep our identity, be consistent and satisfy our soul by our actions


I would like to conclude it with beautiful Quote from Stephen Covey..


"There are so many ways to work in the Circle of Influence--to Be a Better Listener, to Be a more loving Marriage Partner, to be a Better student, to be a more Cooperative and dedicated employee. Sometime the most Proactive thing we can do is to be Happy, just to genuinely Smile. Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice. There are things like weather that our circle of influence will never include. But as Proactive People, we can carry our own physical or social weather with us. We can be happy and accept those things that at present we cannot control, while we focus our efforts on the things that we can..."
