Personal Mission Statement

CRAFTING YOUR PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT

A ROAD MAP FOR LIFE

“If you don’t set your goals based upon your Mission Statement, you may be climbing the ladder of success only to realize, when you get to the top, you’re on the WRONG BUILDING.” Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

well, what’s it all about?A mission represents who you are. It is an affirmative statement that expresses your purpose.

A vision represents what you dream about becoming or having in your life. It is a future-oriented, compelling action statement that expresses the ideal for what you want in all the areas of your life.

Your values define what you believe in and stand for – the ideals for how you want to conduct yourself. Knowing the beliefs or principles for guiding your life, you can tailor your behavior to match what you value.

Focus on what you want for yourself and the person you want to be-not what anyone else thinks you should be.

Use positive statements instead of negative

Take as long as you need. Think about what you’d like to say. Make a first, second and even a third draft if you need to

A paragraph...or two is best. But that’s up to you. You can even write it in the form of a poem or song.

Include it as part of your day to day life

Know that you can change it up at any time-it’s yours!

Mission Statement examples:1)My purpose for being on this earth is to help others recognize, develop, and use their God-given intuitive abilities to ease suffering and grow in goodness, love, compassion, and wisdom. My mission is to help take away fear--the fear of death, by proving that we don't die and will see our loved ones again, and the fear of living, by showing how we can tap in to our wisest selves and make our lives much happier and easier. My desire is to help each of us connect to the love that is eternal, that is the reason for our existence.

2)I am a highly respected and successful ___________ (fill in the blank). I am well-respected by my peers and professional associates. I am a loving partner and parent who respects the individuality of my family members and support them wholeheartedly

now, make it sing

I believe my life is a journey. The best way to explore it is to experience it. To live my life as a full experience, I’m following the principals below:I devote myself to providing simple solutions to complex problems, making things efficient, and finding interesting conclusions. I enjoy solving challenge problems alone or together with others. I also enjoy the inner satisfaction that comes with sharing my opinions or conclusions, and helping others succeed.Be honest to myself. Truth is more important than pride. Learn from strengths in others. Be humble. Keep my attitude of gratitude, positive thinking, and passion.Taking adventures makes my life journey more interesting. I define new experiences and self improvement as my adventures. New experiences expand my knowledge of reality. Self improvement through learning and deep thinking, expands the inner side of myself and my personality.People feel the need to be understood, just as, or even more strongly than the need to be loved. I want to be understanding and trustable to my family and friends.
