I would like to share my personal mission statement. I think it fits with the "model one" category stated by
Winfried Dressler.

To live a life which is meaningful to others and myself I, Chris Baudry,
will :
- Lead a life centered around the principles of excellence, service and
dedication.
- Remember that what is important in life is love, passion, and
authenticity.
- Develop in my consulting activity what supports learning organizations
where people find meaning in their work.
- Revere admirable characteristics in others, such as enthousiasm,
attention to others, generosity, tenacity, patience, and attempt to
implement similar characteristics in my own life.
- Stay grounded by being able to connect to creations of artists who have
realized the highest level of humanity in their creations.
- Recognize my strengths and develop talents as a person who is
articulate, insightful and imaginative,
- Humble myself by acknowledging that I can be short-tempered and
changing, and by constantly striving to transform my weaknesses into
strengths.
- Envision myself staying a person who :
.Julie (my 10 year old daugter) thinks is caring, reliable and fun.
.Jeff (a close friend) thinks is witty and caring.
.Guillaume (my business partner) thinks is competent and safe.

It's only the first draft of my mission statement. I used Covey's "Mission
Statement Builder" to create it. I would appreciate any comments as I
would like to fine tune it.
