I always learn a great deal by being able to follow someone else's journey. I consider it a privilege. Thank you! No. By all means, continue the “me” exploration.

Both for the compliment and the revision suggestion. I changed it to "thrive". Thanks Nathan! Both for the compliment and the revision suggestion. I changed it to “thrive”.

One note about the English: you can't "thrill on". I know what you mean and I'm sure you know, too. You could use "thrive" (a great mission statement word, I think) or you could rewrite it as "Growing my freedom and authenticity thrill me." I hope this is somehow helpful…please ignore the idea if it's in any way annoying. Thanks for blogging! That’s a great revision! One note about the English: you can’t “thrill on”.

It's a statement about who I am (and who I want to be). It's meant as "my true north" on which I can tune in whenever I need to take decisions. Like a compass shows us where North is, my mission statement will show me where I am and how to proceed in accordance with who I am (and want to be). What propels me forward is working on living fully aligned with this mission statement. Setting goals is a tool to break that down into smaller attainable steps. Hi Quinn,

Looking at your mission statement it seems more like a description of who you are to day rather then a tool to propel you forward. There is no language of achievement in it just current action.
