Personal Mission Statement

There are some cool places on the web that can help you formulate a personal mission statement. Here is one of my favorites. Here is another.

Why do you want to do this? There are many reasons, I guess, but I think the best reason is that a personal mission statement helps you connect with your values.

If, for example, you say in your mission statement that you value family, what evidence can you give? Are you putting a priority on family time, or are you working overtime at your job?

If you're working overtime, you need to do one of two things: rewrite yur mission statement to match your actions or realign your actions to match your mission statement.

Writng Prompt: Write a personal mission statement.
