Why is it important to develop a Mission Statement for your life? As with every company, business, church, or organization, a Mission Statement for your life will be a guiding light to express the totality of your goals and objectives. It is the inclusion of all your core values deemed to be of the utmost importance to your destiny.
Your Mission Statement becomes the controlling focal point on your path to your destiny.
