Insight

A	
  Personal	
  Mission	
  Statement	
  is	
  Personal.	
  
If	
  your	
  personal	
  mission	
  statement	
  is	
  going	
  to	
  have	
  value	
  for	
  you,	
  you	
  need	
  to	
  
make	
  it	
  personal.	
  This	
  is	
  not	
  something	
  that	
  you	
  are	
  doing	
  for	
  your	
  boss,	
  your	
  
friends,	
  or	
  even	
  for	
  your	
  family.	
  This	
  is	
  your	
  chance	
  to	
  explore	
  what	
  you	
  really	
  
want	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  your	
  life	
  and	
  then	
  figure	
  out	
  how	
  to	
  get	
  there.	
  
Key	
  consideraFons:	
  

Keep	
  an	
  open	
  mind.	
  	
  
Mission	
  statements	
  can	
  sound	
  corny,	
  grandiose,	
  and	
  flowery,	
  but	
  the	
  words	
  
you	
  choose	
  can	
  also	
  moFvate	
  you	
  tremendously.	
  
This	
  is	
  an	
  inside-­‐out	
  job.	
  	
  
Don’t	
  waste	
  Fme	
  comparing	
  yourself	
  to	
  others.	
  	
  
Exercise	
  pa?ence.	
  	
  
It	
  can	
  take	
  years	
  for	
  you	
  to	
  clarify	
  your	
  mission,	
  quest,	
  or	
  purpose.

“Before	
  you	
  tell	
  your	
  life	
  what	
  you	
  intend	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  it,	
  listen	
  for	
  what	
  it	
  
intends	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  you…”	
  
“I	
  must	
  listen	
  to	
  my	
  life	
  telling	
  me	
  who	
  I	
  am.	
  I	
  must	
  listen	
  for	
  the	
  truths	
  and	
  
values	
  at	
  the	
  heart	
  of	
  my	
  own	
  idenFty,	
  not	
  the	
  standards	
  by	
  which	
  I	
  MUST	
  live	
  
–	
  but	
  the	
  standards	
  by	
  which	
  I	
  cannot	
  help	
  but	
  live	
  if	
  I	
  am	
  living	
  my

A	
  Personal	
  Mission	
  Statement	
  is	
  a	
  Mission.	
  
The	
  dicFonary	
  defines	
  a	
  mission	
  in	
  two	
  ways:	
  
“An	
  assigned	
  task…given	
  to	
  a	
  person	
  or	
  group	
  to	
  carry	
  out;”	
  and	
  
“A	
  calling…an	
  objecFve	
  or	
  task	
  that	
  somebody	
  believes	
  is	
  his	
  or	
  her	
  	
  
duty	
  to	
  carry	
  out.”	
  
As	
  you	
  consider	
  your	
  Personal	
  Mission	
  Statement,	
  	
  
think	
  of	
  it	
  as	
  an	
  objecFve	
  or	
  duty	
  that	
  is	
  unique	
  to	
  you	
  and	
  you	
  alone.

What	
  is	
  your	
  Mission	
  in	
  Life?	
  
Your	
  Personal	
  Mission	
  Statement	
  should	
  be	
  based	
  in	
  what	
  maTers	
  most	
  to	
  
you,	
  what	
  you	
  want	
  to	
  do	
  with	
  your	
  life.

  following	
  quotes

well-­‐respected

What	
  is	
  your	
  life	
  purpose?	
  Life	
  purpose	
  is	
  the	
  reason	
  we	
  are	
  on	
  this	
  planet.	
  It	
  is	
  the

  we	
  are

“Some	
  parts	
  of	
  our	
  mission	
  here	
  on	
  Earth	
  are	
  shared	
  by	
  all	
  human	
  beings:	
  e.g.,	
  we	
  were	
  all	
  sent	
  
here	
  to	
  bring	
  more	
  graFtude,	
  more	
  kindness,	
  more	
  forgiveness,	
  and	
  more	
  love,	
  into	
  the	
  world.	
  We	
  
share	
  this	
  mission	
  because	
  the	
  task	
  is	
  too	
  large	
  to	
  be	
  accomplished	
  by	
  just	
  one	
  individual…”	
  
Excerpt	
  from	
  How	
  to	
  Find	
  Your	
  Mission	
  in	
  Life	
  
“We	
  need	
  to	
  also	
  unlearn	
  the	
  idea	
  that	
  our	
  unique	
  mission	
  must	
  consist	
  of	
  some	
  achievement	
  
which	
  all	
  the	
  world	
  will	
  see…neither	
  we	
  nor	
  those	
  who	
  watch	
  our	
  life	
  will	
  always	
  know	
  what	
  we	
  
have	
  achieved.”

What	
  Are	
  You	
  Most	
  Passionate	
  About?	
  
Your	
  Personal	
  Mission	
  Statement	
  needs	
  to	
  come	
  from	
  inside.	
  It	
  should	
  be	
  Fed	
  
into	
  what	
  maTers	
  most	
  deeply	
  to	
  you.	
  For	
  instance,	
  perhaps	
  you	
  care	
  deeply	
  
about	
  your	
  community,	
  or	
  your	
  family.	
  	
  
For	
  this	
  first	
  exercise,	
  take	
  a	
  piece	
  of	
  paper	
  and	
  
write	
  down	
  what	
  you	
  are

  passionate	
  about	
  
in	
  life.	
  	
  Think	
  about	
  why	
  you	
  are	
  drawn	
  to	
  it.	
  	
  
It	
  doesn’t	
  have	
  to	
  be	
  something	
  big	
  or	
  even	
  
something	
  that	
  others	
  would	
  consider	
  important.	
  
It	
  just	
  has	
  to	
  be	
  important	
  to	
  you.	
  	
  
Once

1.1: What is a Personal Mission Statement?

  • 1. Lesson  1:     What  is  a  Personal     Mission  Statement?   Quote  to  Ponder   “Let  your  life  speak.”     —  Old  Quaker  saying   Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     1  
  • 2. Insight  1:     A  Personal  Mission  Statement  is  Personal.   If  your  personal  mission  statement  is  going  to  have  value  for  you,  you  need  to   make  it  personal.  This  is  not  something  that  you  are  doing  for  your  boss,  your   friends,  or  even  for  your  family.  This  is  your  chance  to  explore  what  you  really   want  to  do  with  your  life  and  then  figure  out  how  to  get  there.   Key  consideraFons:   Keep  an  open  mind.     Mission  statements  can  sound  corny,  grandiose,  and  flowery,  but  the  words   you  choose  can  also  moFvate  you  tremendously.   This  is  an  inside-­‐out  job.     Don’t  waste  Fme  comparing  yourself  to  others.     Exercise  pa?ence.     It  can  take  years  for  you  to  clarify  your  mission,  quest,  or  purpose.   Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     2  
  • 3. Listening  To  Your  Inner  Voice   Quotes  to  Ponder   “Before  you  tell  your  life  what  you  intend  to  do  with  it,  listen  for  what  it   intends  to  do  with  you…”   “I  must  listen  to  my  life  telling  me  who  I  am.  I  must  listen  for  the  truths  and   values  at  the  heart  of  my  own  idenFty,  not  the  standards  by  which  I  MUST  live   –  but  the  standards  by  which  I  cannot  help  but  live  if  I  am  living  my  own  life…”   “There  is  a  great  gulf  between  the  way  my  ego  wants  to  idenFfy  me,  with  its   protecFve  masks  and  self-­‐serving  ficFons,  and  my  true  self.”     Parker  Palmer,  Let  Your  Life  Speak:  Listening  for  the  Voice  of  VocaFon   Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     3  
  • 4. Insight  2:     A  Personal  Mission  Statement  is  a  Mission.   The  dicFonary  defines  a  mission  in  two  ways:   “An  assigned  task…given  to  a  person  or  group  to  carry  out;”  and   “A  calling…an  objecFve  or  task  that  somebody  believes  is  his  or  her     duty  to  carry  out.”   As  you  consider  your  Personal  Mission  Statement,     think  of  it  as  an  objecFve  or  duty  that  is  unique  to  you  and  you  alone.     Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     4  
  • 5. What  is  your  Mission  in  Life?   Your  Personal  Mission  Statement  should  be  based  in  what  maTers  most  to   you,  what  you  want  to  do  with  your  life.  Consider  the  following  quotes  from   well-­‐respected  life  coaches.     What  is  your  life  purpose?  Life  purpose  is  the  reason  we  are  on  this  planet.  It  is  the  thing  we  are   meant  to  accomplish,  the  giQ  we  are  meant  to  bring.     Co-­‐acFve  Coaching,  page  241   “Some  parts  of  our  mission  here  on  Earth  are  shared  by  all  human  beings:  e.g.,  we  were  all  sent   here  to  bring  more  graFtude,  more  kindness,  more  forgiveness,  and  more  love,  into  the  world.  We   share  this  mission  because  the  task  is  too  large  to  be  accomplished  by  just  one  individual…”   Excerpt  from  How  to  Find  Your  Mission  in  Life   “We  need  to  also  unlearn  the  idea  that  our  unique  mission  must  consist  of  some  achievement   which  all  the  world  will  see…neither  we  nor  those  who  watch  our  life  will  always  know  what  we   have  achieved.”   Richard  N.  Bolles,  author  of  What  Color  is  Your  Parachute?   Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     5  
  • 6. Exercise  1:     What  Are  You  Most  Passionate  About?   Your  Personal  Mission  Statement  needs  to  come  from  inside.  It  should  be  Fed   into  what  maTers  most  deeply  to  you.  For  instance,  perhaps  you  care  deeply   about  your  community,  or  your  family.     For  this  first  exercise,  take  a  piece  of  paper  and   write  down  what  you  are  most  passionate  about   in  life.    Think  about  why  you  are  drawn  to  it.     It  doesn’t  have  to  be  something  big  or  even   something  that  others  would  consider  important.   It  just  has  to  be  important  to  you.     Once  your  wriTen  down  your  passion  statement,     you  are  ready  to  move  on  to  Lesson  2:  Clues  from  the  Past.   Created  by  Vantage  HRS  for  the  Centers  of  Medicare  and  Medicaid  Services     6
