What is your personal vision statement for 2020/2021 and how did you arrive there?
What is your personal vision statement for 2020/2021 and how did you arrive there?

I've spent a few weeks trying to gain clarity for the year ahead and the final step is to create a personal vision statement for 2021. I've always had trouble with aspirational thinking because my default is to get super granular and think about achievements instead. For obvious reasons, a lot of what I set out to achieve in 2020 is currently sitting in a toasty dumpster fire. While I have since come to terms with this, I also know that 2021 isn't going to be much easier. Rather than narrowing in on achievements I want to practice aspirational thinking. This is the first time I've done this so I would love to hear what others have tried/set for themselves. Mine is still a little WIP but here it goes: "Become indispensable in my career. I spend the majority of my time surrounded by people who understand and value me both for my contributions and for who I am as an individual. These are some of the exercises I did over the past few weeks to arrive at my personal vision statement:1. Values by James Clear 2. Systems thinking by Julian Shapiro 3. Goal Setting by Growclass 4. Actionable Goal planning by Marie Poulin - Notion Queen (downloadable templates at gumroad.com/mariepoulin#xlbm 5. Lastly, I googled personal vision statements to figure out how to put all of this together. This was near the top of my search and was actually pretty helpful! https://scottjeffrey.com/personal-vision-statement/
