Remember, you and your family do not remain stagnant. You grow wiser, too. When you have young children, you are involved daily in shaping their character. By the time they reach their teens, your influence is far less powerful. A mission statement lets you focus on success and forgive yourself for mistakes .
Mission statements are deliberately broad and all-encompassing.
Realistically, a mission statement isn't a measurement of success. Success is measured by the small goals you achieve on your quest to reach the ideal. As you progress in your at-home mothering profession, you can celebrate your achievements without beating yourself up over the mistakes. You aimed for a lofty ideal and, to the best of your ability, you embraced it. Writing a mission statement may seem unnecessary to you.
