Your Personal Mission Statement

What is your personal mission statement?  It’s a written declaration of your core purpose and focus that normally remains unchanged over time. Properly done mission statements serve as filters to separate what is important from what is not.

A Mission is different from a vision. A mission is something to be accomplished whereas a vision is something that is pursued for accomplishment. A personal mission provides clarity and gives you a sense of purpose. It defines who you are and how you will live.

A personal mission statement is so personal and so important that you might want to take time to reflect on what you want. It could be a new way to live life in a more purposeful direction. It should include your philosophy, your ambitions, your values.

What is important to you? What describes your sense of purpose and shows your intended course. Here are some example thoughts to get you started:

• I believe in empowerment.
• I will treat all people with respect regardless of race, gender or ability.
• I will value my word.
• I will be enthusiastic in everything I do.
• I will give my passion and love to creating the best me I can be.
• I am part of a larger community and will strive to support the dreams of others and contribute to the betterment of my community with my highest integrity.
