Your personal mission statement has helped you show who you want to be in the future. However, getting there is a multiste process. You’ll need to choose the behaviors, actions, and activities that will become the steps you take toward achieving that personal mission statement. Having the courage to be vulnerable and open to new ideas and experiences can help you realign your daily activities toward achieving your goals. This discussion will challenge you to evaluate your personal mission statement and short-term goals and choose why it’s important to align your daily activities and goals.

Exploring topics like vulnerability can mean investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. How will your personal mission statement and short-term goals keep you motivated during your academic journey?
2. Give an example or two of how you will align your daily activities to your goals.
3. How does being vulnerable, having an open mind, and considering others in your goal-setting process help you attain your goals in a more meaningful way?

Remember, this assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates.

Directions
