Your Personal Mission Statement
For example, my mission is to motivate, educate, and inspire others to be their best. This has been my mission since I was a child. I have not always been aware of it, in fact, I was not completely aware of it until my early 30’s. Even since I have detected my mission, I have had different jobs, roles, and goals.
To get started with crafting your personal mission statement, take the time to review your answers to the questions below:
- What do you want to be when you grow up?
- What special skills or talents do you have?
- There was a time, it could have been a long time ago, or recently, when you did something that made you feel like you were on top of the world. What was it? What were you doing?
- What do you like to do? What do you do in your spare time? What do you choose to read about? What are your hobbies?
- There is something that you do that, when you’re doing it, you completely lose track of time. Hours feel like minutes. What is it? What are you doing?
- What do you have a passion for?
- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
Answering these questions should divulge the purpose within you that’s trying to reveal itself. You’ll see a theme developing; you’ll feel compelled or driven by a certain idea or set of actions. One thing’s for sure, when you’ve hit on it, you will know it. The thought of accomplishing it will resonate with your core and give you energy you quite possibly never knew you had.
