CRAFTING YOUR PERSONAL 
MISSION STATEMENT 
A ROAD MAP FOR LIFE 
“If you don’t set your goals based upon your Mission 
Statement, you may be climbing the ladder of success only 
to realize, when you get to the top, you’re on the WRONG 
BUILDING.” Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective 
People. 
www.susancareycoaching.co 
m
A mission represents who you are. It is an affirmative statement 
that expresses your purpose. 
A vision represents what you dream about becoming or having in 
your life. It is a future-oriented, compelling action statement that 
expresses the ideal for what you want in all the areas of your life. 
Your values define what you believe in and stand for – the ideals 
for how you want to conduct yourself. Knowing the beliefs or 
principles for guiding your life, you can tailor your behavior to 
match what you value. www.janaebower.com
Focus on what you want for yourself and the person you want to be-not 
what anyone else thinks you should be. 
Use positive statements instead of negative 
Take as long as you need. Think about what you’d like to say. Make 
a first, second and even a third draft if you need to 
A paragraph...or two is best. But that’s up to you. You can even 
write it in the form of a poem or song. 
Include it as part of your day to day life 
Know that you can change it up at any time-it’s yours!
Figure out what’s important to you 
Become better acquainted with yourself and the direction 
you wish to go 
Create a road map for your life 
Fill in each question to the best of your ability…. And when 
finished you will be able to convert those answers into a truly 
personalized path …one that will give you direction and clarity. 
Ready? Let’s go!
What do I absolutely love about my job? 
What is it I can’t wait to do when I have some free time?
What skills or talents do I already know I have 
What is it people ask me to do because I “do it so well”
If I had unlimited time and resources, and was guaranteed 
of success, what would be my ultimate, bucket list, soul 
defining goal?
To me, 
Honesty means: 
Fairness means: 
Inclusiveness means 
Unconditional love means:
What do I consider to be my most important contribution in making the world a better 
place (it does not have to be time or money!)
What do I really need to change, even if I find that hard to admit? 
What do I need to be more open-minded about? 
What do I need to learn?
Who has inspired me by who they are, what they do or how they live? Use one 
word to describe their attributes 
Name Attributes 
__________________________________ __________________________________________ 
__________________________________ __________________________________________ 
_________________________________ __________________________________________
Right now, are you in balance? 
List the ways you may not be in sync: 
Physically 
Mentally 
Emotionally 
Spiritually
I perform at my best when 
I will enjoy my work when I can 
I pursue enjoyment in my personal life through 
I willwelcome opportunities to use my natural talents 
and gifts in ways such as 
I can do anything I set my mind to, so I will
I will live my life according to my values, which are: 
I will honor people & life in general others by contributing: 
I integrate the following attributes into my life to the best of my ability, daily. 
I will observe the state of my physical, spiritual, mental and emotional being and renew in the 
following ways
Mission Statement examples: 
1)My purpose for being on this earth is to help others recognize, develop, and 
use their God-given intuitive abilities to ease suffering and grow in goodness, 
love, compassion, and wisdom. My mission is to help take away fear--the fear 
of death, by proving that we don't die and will see our loved ones again, and 
the fear of living, by showing how we can tap in to our wisest selves and make 
our lives much happier and easier. My desire is to help each of us connect to 
the love that is eternal, that is the reason for our existence. 
2)I am a highly respected and successful ___________ (fill in the blank). I am 
well-respected by my peers and professional associates. I am a loving partner 
and parent who respects the individuality of my family members and support 
them wholeheartedly
I believe my life is a journey. The best way to explore it is to experience it. To live my life as a full 
experience, I’m following the principals below: 
I devote myself to providing simple solutions to complex problems, making things efficient, and finding 
interesting conclusions. I enjoy solving challenge problems alone or together with others. I also enjoy the 
inner satisfaction that comes with sharing my opinions or conclusions, and helping others succeed. 
Be honest to myself. Truth is more important than pride. Learn from strengths in others. Be humble. 
Keep my attitude of gratitude, positive thinking, and passion. 
Taking adventures makes my life journey more interesting. I define new experiences and self 
improvement as my adventures. New experiences expand my knowledge of reality. Self improvement 
through learning and deep thinking, expands the inner side of myself and my personality. 
People feel the need to be understood, just as, or even more strongly than the need to be loved. I want to 
be understanding and trustable to my family and friends.
I help women gain confidence so they can go 
after their dreams…I can help you too. 
Isn't it time you did something just for you?
