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

I will – make efforts to further my knowledge every day through taking classes, reading or observation so I can follow in the example of my parents.

I will – set myself to improving my inferior qualities such as organization, responsibility and compassion so that I can be a better brother, son, student and friend.

I will – continue to strive for a healthy and long life by following a scheduled exercise regimin and a more balanced diet.

I will – continue my career development by remaining employed in a field where I can grow and continue to improve my income to achieve other personal goals.

I will – strive to put time aside for family and friends so that I may be able to treasure the connection I have with them while they are in my life.

I will – attain a respected leadership role to the people around me by taking a more active role in creating initiatives and solutions to problems around me.
