There is nothing as satisfying as acknowledging your true passion in life. From that moment you can authentically attract those opportunities to fulfill that personal passion. Maybe it’s volunteering or expanding your existing activities. If you have worked your own personal mission discovery, it may lead you to actualize that newfound information to take your life in a whole new direction.
This is the work of each of us in this life, to find our mission, define it and build our vision on it. Sometimes our personal and professional mission and vision statements collide. In fact, it happens more often than most think.
Casto Margaret Phillips, professor of mathematics and computer science at Old Dominion University (ODU) in Virginia, had found his passion. She joined the faculty of ODU in 1945 and taught until retirement she was thirty-four years later in 1979. She also served as a university liaison for the American Association of University Women. At her death at the age of 94 years, Phillips said her passion for students and teaching in the coming years with a legacy of $ 150,000 to the Emeritus Faculty Association ODU for its endowment fund scholarship students. She epitomizes the meeting of the statements of vision and mission and professional staff it. Looking around us we can see this reflected by many in our community.
Captain Steve Lazenby of the (CA) Fire Department Santa Paula is passionate about preparing citizens for emergency preparedness. The position of fire fighting him is the captain of the company of Santa Paula engine but the ability of it to communicate a mission emergency preparedness throughout the county allowed to make a new position as well.
As the Coordinator / Instructor of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), a 17-20 hour class training for citizens, Lazenby has taught in 5 years more than 1,500 citizens to take their place help themselves and others in the event of a disaster in your community. His commitment to his personal passion now merges with his mission and career vision.
Les and Alice Gardner, successful small business owners Attitude Shoppe in Ojai, CA, firmly believe in their community and are active Rotarians. The success of your personal mission and the combination of their business mission and vision statements extend to hiring employees who share their strong ideas of service, customer satisfaction and longevity in your community. A happy customer remembers having driven for four hours to attend an important business meeting and then find out that he had left his computer at home … the last thing he needed was to turn around and drive to his house for back. Employees handled the problem with the usual efficiency, a friend could take it to the shop and the computer was packed and on the road the same day. When Gardner’s personal mission coincided with the mission and vision of her business, people lined up with the same values were attracted to become employees.
With these examples comes the understanding that not only does the individual benefit from meeting their personal and professional mission and vision, but also society.
