Writing a Mission Statement

Because each individual is unique, a mission statement will reflect that

uniqueness, both in content and form. An effective mission statement may
consist of a few words or several pages. Mission statements can be written
in poetry, prose, music, or art, and written for individuals, couples,
families, or organizations.

One of the most powerful methods to cultivate a life of purpose and

vision is to create and live by a Personal Mission Statement, philosophy,
or creed. Such statements capture what you want in lifequalities you
want to develop, what you want to accomplish, and what contributions
you want to make. Clarity on these issues is critical. It affects the goals
you set, the decisions you make, the views you hold, and the ways you
spend your time.

Writing a mission statement is not a to do list to be checked off. To be

empowering, it has to become a living document. You must ponder it,
memorize it, review it, update it, and write it into your heart and mind.

A mission statement based on correct principles becomes a standard

for an individual. A personal constitution, it is the basis for making
life-directing decisions as well as daily decisions in the midst of
circumstances and emotions that affect your life.

Mission Statement Workshop

This mission statement workshop may be used to help you
create a mission statement or to examine your current mission statement.
The questions are designed to help you think deeply about your life.

Dont become overwhelmed by the task of writing a mission statement.

First, write a rough draft and refine it over the next several weeks or
months. To help you get started, ask yourself the following questions:

What Matters Most to You?

List those things that are most important in your life.

Setting Goals

Goal Planning
Value/Mission/Role (why?):

Long-range goals are dreams with deadlines. They provide a link

between your core values and your weekly and daily activities. By
organizing long-range goals into smaller, more manageable steps, you
consistently accomplish what matters most in your life. Weekly planning
helps you incorporate these smaller steps into your week and day. Daily
planning enables you to prioritize your daily tasks and stay focused.

Goal (what?/when?):

To set an effective long-range goal, ask yourself three vital questions:

What do I want to accomplish?
Why do I want to do it?
How will I do it?

Steps (how?)

Deadlines

A sample Goal Planning form is provided on the
