A Compass to Guide the Family
Defining your core family values and designing your family mission statement creates higher levels of cohesion, unity and communication within the family as a whole.
At its core, a mission statement is a compass. It directs and aligns people toward true north. A mission statement designed by the family conveys the family's purpose and can be referenced for guidance when decisions must be made, conflicts resolved or questions answered as family members journey toward success.
Values confer meaning; they are the motivation behind behaviors. Values underlie all life choices. They motivate the search for and development of skills, and the creation and pursuit of a vision. People use values to establish relationships with others. Values help tie individuals to a group, a team, a family, an organization, an institution and society in general. Values lie at the heart of all human relationships and identifying values helps family members understand what energizes them, what drives their behaviors and motivates them to action.
When family members become aware of their own values and those they share with their relatives, the family begins to realize higher levels of cohesion, unity and communication.
