Agile Personal Development

After working through the method of developing a personal vision statement described here, I’ve come up with the following as my personal vision statement.

Vision Statement

• Continuously learn and experience new things in life, especially through travel and outdoor activities.
• Make significant contributions in my professional life while maintaining balance with my personal life.
• Ensure my career gives me the opportunity to talk with people, solve problems through innovative approaches, and be self-directed.
• Spend time with family.
• Keep up with old friends and also make new ones.
• Be a good father and husband.
• Make time for daydreaming about the future.
• Contribute to society through mentoring/teaching and leveraging my skills to develop something new or solve challenging problems.
• Plan for a stable financial future, while enjoying the present.
• Ensure a long and fulfilling life through health and wellness activities.
• Enjoy life along the way, don’t miss out on today while planning for tomorrow.

My choices in life should reflect my core values of ambition, hard work, integrity, continuous learning, optimism, and having a vision of the future.

Now that I’ve got an initial personal vision statement (and core values), I’m releasing version 0.1 of my personal development plan.
