If you have read this site for any time, you know that I am a fierce advocate of periodically assessing your goals and direction[1]. You deserve more than a purposeless life.
Consequently, your personal values and vision guide your life. Your personal values and vision statement provide the direction necessary to guide the course of your days and the choices you make about your career and life.
Your personal values and vision are the guiding path and the light shining in the darkness toward which you turn to find your way. Your personal values and vision statement illuminate your way.
I have shared my personal values and vision with you. And, many site visitors have shared their personal vision[2], too. Our reader responses are exciting, motivational, and they touch my heart.
Some of you will sit down and write out your personal values and then, a personal vision for your career and life. Others may want some steps and to read some samples. Each of you will be interested to find out how to develop your personal values[3] and your personal vision statement[4] and see what readers have shared about their personal visions.
