Go to the following website to build a personal mission statement: Live with Purpose.


Or approach your mission statement the old-fashioned way with a five-step program:


The Five-Step Plan for Creating Personal Mission Statements by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.


Step 1: Identify Past Successes. 

Try to identify whether there is a common theme -- or themes -- to these examples. Write them down.

Step 2: Identify Core Values. Develop a list of attributes that you believe identify who you are and what your priorities are. The list can be as long as you need.

Once your list is complete, see if you can narrow your values to five or six most important values.

Finally, see if you can choose the one value that is most important to you.

Step 3: Identify Contributions. Make a list of the ways you could make a difference. In an ideal situation, how could you contribute best to:'

  • the world in general
  • your family
  • your employer or future employers
  • your friends
  • your community

Step 4: Identify Goals. Spend some time thinking about your priorities in life and the goals you have for yourself.

Make a list of your personal goals, perhaps in the short-term (up to three years) and the long-term (beyond three years).

Step 5: Write Mission Statement. Based on the first four steps and a better understanding of yourself, begin writing your personal mission statement.

It often happens that even after you've managed to put up a plan it never gets completed. I mean, unless it is sort of buiseness plan, and it has no connections with schedules, sort of key targets so to speak. At least that is what happens to me.

I knew a guy who was one of those "empower yourself" inspirational speaker, Tony Robbins types, and he had me do something very similar to this once, and does work!

Oh, I just love this five step plan for creating personal mission statements.The reason is it help me think about important things and goal in life plus the fact that I was able to put myself in a situation that I want to be in and some situations I swear not to go in.

Smoking is a major problem for all people right now. It's seem, there is no solutions about how to stop smoking. May be Government should do something really big step to prevent people from smoking. Maybe prohibited all people from smoking right away. I wonder how long this situations going. :) . Thanks for your good info.

You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and more specifically, your blog in general.
