1 PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT
A personal mission statement defines who you are as a person (or
as a team member where you work) and identifies your purpose,
whether that’s in the office or simply in life. It explains how you
aim to pursue that purpose, and why it matters so much to you.
DEFENITIVE CHIEF AIM
A definite chief aim is a specific, clearly-defined statement of
purpose. It has the power to guide your subconscious mind. It
transforms your attitude from pessimism into positive expectation.
2 STRATEGIC LIFE PLAN
A strategic life plan puts purpose and direction with
quantifiable goals and objectives tied to your personal mission
statement. This plan allows you to dream your perfect future
and then develop the steps to actually achieve your desires.
3 PERSONAL LEGACY STATEMENT
A personal legacy statement is a personal document that you create and
personally prepare in order to communicate your values, experiences,
and life lessons to your family. By leaving your family a Personal
Legacy Statement, you’ll be leaving something meaningful behind, it
is a way to share your blessings, life’s lessons, hopes and dreams for the
future, love, and forgiveness with your family, friends, and community.
