Write Your Life's Mission Statement Today

Jan. 27, 2010 - PRLog -- I was talking with my editor (via e-mail) a few weeks ago and she mentioned a particular exercise that I want to discuss today.

The exercise is writing your life’s mission statement in eight words or less.  This is an exercise that I believe every successful person must do!

Hopefully after reading this very brief article, you will write your own mission statement.

Why do you need a mission statement?

Without a mission for your life, you will probably just wander through life (like Alice wandered through Wonderland); uncertain of your purpose.

Without a mission you won’t be able to accomplish all that you are capable of accomplishing.

Why eight words?  

Too few words would not allow you to fully express your mission; too many words and your mission would begin to lose focus.  Focus is always critical.  I managed to write my initial mission statement in seven words…

Writing your mission statement in eight words or less will provide you with a sense of focus.

Everything you do in life should center on your life’s mission, those eight words.

You Must Have a Mission
What’s your mission?  What’s your purpose?  Try to write it now.

Here’s my mission statement:

[My mission is to ] “Inspire Others to Succeed with Practical Advice”

Do you have to use eight words or less?

Well… “eight” is really just symbolic for “not using too many words.”  If a takes you another word of two to get it right, go ahead and add a few more words; just don’t get too “carried away” …

If I could use more words to describe my mission, I would say:

[My mission is to] “Inspire Others to Prosper and Succeed with Practical Advice”

This means that every article I write should inspire people to prosper and succeed with practical advice.

This means that I should motivate people to prosper and succeed in my daily conversations.  This is my mission, this is who I am.  This is what I was born to do; this is what I must do.

Don’t know your purpose?

Don’t be concerned if you’re not certain what your mission is yet.  Read the article I wrote on “Discovering Your Life's Purpose” for more help.

Additionally, your mission statement may change as you discover yourself more and more, but start with something.  Just write what you believe your mission may be … based on your current talents and likes.

Focus

You need focus in your life; you need clarity, a sense of intention, a sense of purpose, in order to make significant progress.

What do people think of when they think of you?  When I think of Wal-Mart, I think of low prices, when I think of Donald Trump, I think of real estate, when I think of Bill Gates, I think of computers.  What’s your difference, write it out.

Every successful person has a mission, and the more people affected by your mission, the more successful you will be.

Every person has a mission and every person has an audience

When you find your mission, you will discover your audience.  If your mission is to encourage, then your audience is the disheartened.  If your mission is to motivate, then your audience is those looking for inspiration.

Learn your mission and find your audience today, your success depends on it.
