Review Johnson (2021) text section on Developing Personal Mission Statements (Chapter 3).

First, construct a personal purpose/mission statement. Begin with: My purpose in life is to .

Make it concise and memorable using five to ten words.

Next consider and address these questions:

1. Who do I want to be?

2. Who matters most to me?

3. What are my deepest values?

4. Where (family, work, school, and community) does my mission most apply?

5. How will I define success in my life?

6. When is the best time to start working on my mission?

7. How do I want to be remembered?

8. Why does this matter?

Finally, include a section labeled Inspiration. Document the experiences, resources, and people who inspired your statement. How will you remember your mission statement, share it with others and live it out?
