The personal mission statement you write will be specific to your individual style and needs. There is no set template as to what a good mission statement is for each person as they are all different. There are a few basic concepts which should be a part of every mission statement. A personal mission statement summarizes the following for each person:
- Personal goals and aspirations
- Core values
- Social responsibility

What information should your personal mission statement have in it? Some of the basic information should have five to seven points which define the following:
- One or two main values
- Your plan to contribute to society
- Who the main focus of your contribution will be
- What you hope to accomplish in life
- What your best skill or attribute is
Here are three examples of personal mission statements:
