15 The Process of Writing a Personal Mission Statement What things do I want to have that I feel are important? What am I about? What qualities of character I would like to emulate? What legacy do I want to leave?

16 Have: Results you want to achieve Make a list of the things you want to have that you feel are important. Haves can be tangible possessions like a house or intangibles like a happy family

17 Do: Contributions and Accomplishments When I daydream, what do I see myself doing? If I had unlimited time and resources, what would I do? When I look at my work life, which activities do I consider of greatest worth? When I look at my personal life, which activities do I consider of greatest worth?

18 What do I consider to be my most important future contributions to others? What talents do I have, whether developed or undeveloped? Are there things I feel I really should do even though I might have dismissed such thoughts many times before for various reasons? What are they?

23 Examples Mahatma Gandhi's mission is captured in a short list of active statements. You can craft your mission in this style, starting each sentence with "I shall" or "I will." Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day: I shall not fear anyone on Earth. I shall fear only God. I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering.

24 Examples MARTIN LUTHER KING JR....I say to you today, my friends. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

25 Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation. Examples Benjamin Franklin Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing. Industry: Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly. Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

26 Examples Anonymous My mission is to give, for giving is what I do best and I can learn to do better. I will seek to learn, for learning is the basis for growth, and growing is the key to living. I will seek first to understand, for understanding is the key to finding value, and value is the basis for respect, decisions, and action. This should be my first act with my wife, my family, and my business. I want to help influence the future development of people and organizations. I want to teach my children and others to love and laugh, to learn and grow beyond their current bounds. I will build personal, business, and civic relationships by giving, in frequent little ways.

27 My Mission Drafted 1992ish as a result of a similar leadership experience.

28 Mission I shall base all decisions and behaviors as a human being on the principles of loyalty, love, honesty, trustworthiness, integrity and service. I am a life long learner forever seeking a better understanding of the world of which I am a part; personal reflection and introspection being the cornerstones of my learning. I will pursue a vision of high standards and excellence at whatever I do making no distinction between work and play, labor and leisure, mind and body. I am thankful to those who have supported me throughout my life and will always give back to those people and organizations.
