Our mission statement has been much more compelling to me: "to exceed customers' expectations on every visit" I personally find that more compelling. I don't think I have really been able to sort out the difference between a mission statement and a vision statement. I usually pick up things pretty easily, but I've realized that this are is where I'm struggling to "get it" :-) Vivienne, great to hear from you again….

"Mission" is about where I am going and "Vision" is about how I am going to reach there. I wrote mine sometime back and had never looked back because the declaration came straight from my heart and not from my brain. Our heart is our inner self, and it is our inner self that creates the external world. I believe when our intend is in line with our action, we'll have true integrity and congruence. Where attention goes, energy flows and results show. I'm still working towards my mission and vision.

To me it doesn't seem all that motivating, but.....
