Consider and compare two different corporations.

The first consists of a bunch of people strictly sealed in cubicles. Each person knows there are probably other people working for the company, but they never have any contact with those people. They only receive their individual assignments each day from “the boss,” who they’ve never met, but they don’t even know what the company is trying to achieve. The company exists and operates at the random whim of a boss that simply decides who does what and when, and that’s how it is.

The second corporation consists of departments, but the people within those departments are free to interact as they please, and each individual’s role in the company is defined solely by their own strengths and interests. The company has a specific mission statement that all employees are not only aware of, but believe in strongly and are excited to be part of. Within the goals of the mission statement, the only orders from the boss are for each employee to help make it happen in whatever way they’re best suited to.

So riddle me this: which setup is more well suited to the business of creation?

Both of these corporations represent ways of being. The boss is your conscious mind; everyone working for the corporation are the various aspects of yourself; your energetic and subconscious systems that work together to create your experience. Most people are in the position of the first example — the conscious mind doesn’t know what most of the parts are well suited for, if it even knows they exist, the parts are assigned functions they aren’t necessarily designed for, and none of them are working together in harmony.

The corporation in the second example, and the hypothetical Self it represents, is a powerful, harmonious, well oiled machine. Simply put: having all your systems pulling in the same direction, gives you a whole lot of pull. With all parts of yourself clear, functioning in the way they do best, and focused on a single unified purpose that you’re passionate about, you’re a force to be reckoned with indeed! All companies and organizations have a short, concise Statement of Purpose for this reason — and so should you.

How to Form a Mission Statement

When I started thinking about what my personal mission statement should be, I realized that I needed to find something that is enduring, as well as integral to who I am. I already know that operating against the natural flow of the universe is a good way to get squished flat (and it makes no exceptions for ignorance of how it operates), so I had to account for that as well. I strongly believe I have identified three of the most basic, primary forces operating in the universe itself, as well as every human being – three things we’re all looking for, and subject to, yet have distorted and mistaken for pretty much everything else that are NOT those things. Until then, I’ll leave you with a few questions to chew on that you will need to ask yourself when forming any mission statement.

What do you want? No, not what others say you should want – what do you really want?

What are your values?

What pursuits do you pour the majority of your time and energy into? Are they what you would choose to pour them into if you felt you had that choice?

What are your fondest hopes and dreams?

What excites you?

And the most important question of all…

Who are you?

I think that should be enough to keep most people busy for a while, so I’m off to work on the follow-up post!
