Personal Mission Statement My Mission

Personal Mission Statement

My mission is life reflects my core values as an individual. I strive to achieve success at every step, and seek to improve myself constantly. I want to be a force for good in this world in whatever way I can. To me, this involves not only my personal and professional actions in relation to my circumstances, but it also involves creating circumstances that will allow me to contribute. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the world. I want to leave this world in better condition than I found it.

This mission is reflected in both my professional and personal objectives. I believe that my role professionally is to help my employer to achieve its strategic goals. To me, this means always making a positive contribution. I have a strong skill set in terms of my education and my work ethic. I will bring my best to work every single day. Employment to me is a contract, and I will hold up my end. Ultimately, I hope to be able to strike out on my own. Running my own business is a long-term objective for me. It meets some of my strongest professional needs. I want to be able to create something that can provide a true legacy for my family and leave me with a professional career in which I can take great pride.

Yet, I believe that life is not strictly about work. Indeed, I feel that my greatest contributions to this world will be on a more personal level. I want to raise a family. I will give my children the tools they need to be leaders in this world. I will instill discipline, values, work ethic and a sense of wonder. One of my greatest lasting legacies will be to leave a family full of wonderful, hardworking people. This will multiply my contribution to the world many times over.

A also wish to make strong contributions to my community. I believe one of the most lasting ways we can impact our world is to make a difference locally. I wish to increase my involvement in charities and community organizing. There are many worthwhile projects so I know I will find one or two that match my skill set. I hope to not only do good works, but to inspire those around me to do good works as well. It is important to not only achieve, but to compel others to achieve. As with my family, I hope that I am able to have a lasting impact on the community, not only through my own deeds but through the deeds of those people that I train, inspire or simply come into contact with.

One of my best strengths is my ability to motivate others. I do this through my own enthusiasm for projects that I hold dear. I want to use that strength to motivate others. In order to leave this world in better condition that I found it, I will need to teach others to understand how they, too, can make a difference. My organizational skills have led me to construct a strategy to accomplish these objectives. I feel that making a contribution is something you need to do every day. It does not need to be a large contribution every day, but some contribution should be made.

Another key component to my strategy will be actively seeking those areas in which I can make the most difference. There are so many opportunities to contribute to society, and I feel that if I am able to choose the right ones for me, I will make the greatest contribution. In order to identify these opportunities I must continually educate myself with regards to my community. I want to understand it and its needs. This will help me find out where I belong.

I feel that my statement is based on timeless, proven principles. Integrity and a hard work ethic have helped to build this country and if I follow that same path I too will succeed. Great change has been achieved not just through good deeds, but through inspiring and motivating others to do their own good deeds. I feel that my mission represents the best within me. It is a personal challenge to not become absorbed in the minutiae of everyday life, but to focus on making the great changes and having a positive influence on those around me. This mission will be difficult to achieve at times, a fact that indicates to me it does push me to bring my best to this world every single day.

My statement definitely inspires me. I respond to challenges and there is no doubt that I have set the bar high for myself. It may be difficult to truly have an impact on this world yet I know that people do it every day. I will be one of those people, too. My focusing on three basic elements of life - family, work and community - I feel that I have provided a solid framework with which to approach my mission but have left enough flexibility that I will be able to find the best place for me.
