Live with Purpose (part of business vision board)

For those following my blog, I caught up on all of my unfinished assignments from last week’s Business Soul Sessions classes.  One of our assignments was to work on developing a business mission statement.  I’ve come up with multiple mission statements, none of which feels like THE mission statement.  Another assignment was to create a business vision board (see photos below).

Here are my mission statements:

Personal Mission in 6 words: Beautiful, real, simple, soul-centered play

Business Mission Statements:

To inspire, motivate, and teach people to  create, do what they love, play more, and live in gratitude and wonder.

To reveal the sacred through beauty, gratitude, wonder, and love.

To help make the world a better place by revealing the sacredness, beauty, wonder, and miracles that surround us.

They don’t sound much like business, do they? Wouldn’t it be an amazing world if every business had this kind of mission statement?

One of the realizations I came to this weekend was that at this point in my life it is more important to me to live in a way that expresses who I am, than it is to create a “successful” business (whatever, that is).  Does that make sense?  I believe that the intention behind what we do informs the outcome.  So, for me, staying in a place of play and wonder and joy helps to create something entirely different than if I am creating while experiencing fear or scarcity or not enough or striving to “succeed.”  Staying in a place of play and wonder doesn’t mean that I am not going to work hard at my art.  Soul-filled work is play for me.  So is playing around at creating.  How can you make your work play?
