Sitting down and writing a personal mission statement can be overwhelming. Trying to figure out everything you want out of life can seem like a big task - and it is! However, there are some steps we can take to break the process down and make it more manageable. Each of us have a number of different roles in our lives. Dan for example has the roles of uncle, brother, friend, and business owner to name a few. Each of those roles are important and carry a certain amount of responsibilities.
As we get older and busier certain roles in our lives can start to consume our time and energy at the detriment of the other roles. If Dan focuses too much time being a business owner and not enough time being an Uncle where will that leave his relationship? Where will that leave Dan in terms of his overall success and happiness? The personal mission statement can help us balance out our lives and ensure that we are moving toward an overall success and happiness that encompasses all of our roles.
Start by identifying your roles. Next set 2 to 3 long term goals for each role. These roles should be results driven, not activity driven, and be based on your core values and principals. Breaking down your life into roles and then working to identify what it is important in each role will help give organization and structure to your overall mission statement. It will also help you identify not only what you want out of life, but where you are now on your path to get there.
