Personal Aspirations Part 2
There are several different kinds of personal aspirations that I have come across. They are even titled different things such as Personal Statement, Personal Commercial, Inspirational Statement, and more. They are all the same thing.
- A Personal Aspiration is a statement, a poem, or a motto, that should help guide you through your day, and help mold your life.
- A Personal Aspiration must be yours. It must be written by you for you. It does not matter what others think of it, it only matters if it is good for you.
- A Personal Aspiration must be read all the time. Once you memorize it you can go over it at any time. I like to read mine in my car on my way to teach, then again while I am brushing my teeth before bed.
- A Personal Aspiration should be in a place that can be seen. I still use an old fashion planner and I have mine in it. Every time I open the planner it falls out and I see it. I also have it taped to my mirror in my bathroom.
- A Personal Aspiration should be read out loud. It should be read with passion and belief. I should be read with the attitude that you have already become that person.
- A Personal Aspiration should be read whenever things get tough. It is like you giving yourself a pep talk.
- A Personal Aspiration should include goals, beliefs, and things that you want to become and it should be a reassurance of the things that you already like about yourself. It should be an outline of who you are working toward being.
- A Personal Aspiration is yours. It can be done in any way you wish as long as it works for you. It should always be positive, uplifting, and encouraging. Every great leader, business person, coach, athlete has a personal aspiration of some sort. They may not call it that, but they have one.
In the next part we will talk about how to write it.
