My Purpose, Mission, and Vision
In the Summer of 2024 I dedicated a significant amount of time and awareness to thinking about who I want to be in the world. It was an important activity for me to engage is as I was taking time away from work to decide what I wanted to do with my life, and I want that to be based off of who I want to be in the world.
This is based off the advice of my executive coach who introduced me to the Be > Do > Have mindset. This mindset helps me focus first on who I want to be in the world then, from this powerful place, choosing what it is that I want to do, and from that I will have what I have.
I see my Purpose, Mission, and Vision as building on this mindset while also mixing in my in my values. This gives me phrases that I can use to see if my day-to-day actions are in integrity with my values while also allowing me to zoom out and see if I'm living a life that aligns with my values. In this way:
- Purpose mixes my values with who I want to be in the world.
- Vision mixes my values with what I want the world to look like (i.e. what I want for everyone to have).
- Mission becomes what I do in the world to live with Purpose and work towards my Vision.
My Vision is a world where everyone has the support they need to flourish and diversity is celebrated.
My Mission is to connect with people to question our systems, promote human rights, and celebrate the diversity of life.
