A personal mission statement helps you identify your core values, bring focus and purpose to your life, and is the key to finding your path. It will define who you are and why you do what you do. Having a mission statement is the foundation of your personal brand.
There are three elements of a personal mission statement.
- What you want to do
- Why you want to do it
- What you value
Your personal mission statement needs to encompass all aspects of your life, not just your work life. A well-crafted mission statement provides a guiding light for when things get tough. It ensures that what you are doing and the goals you are setting brings you closer to fulfilling your mission.
Use your personal mission statement as the standard to judge all of your activities. Keep your actions aligned with your mission, including your personal development. Periodically review and revise your mission statement. Make sure your mission statement continues to inspire you.
Here is my mission statement:
To create a nurturing place of order, happiness, pride, and performance. Provide opportunities where each person can become responsibly independent and effectively interdependent to achieve worthwhile purposes. To live an integrated life and apply ethical principles to make a significant difference for those I lead.
