Personal Mission Defined

A personal mission statement defines three things for the world to see:

  • What you do. This is the work you do that will take you where you want to go in your personal vision.  It is the work that will give you satisfaction, meaning, and purpose in your life, one happy and content day at a time.
  • Your unique value proposition. This is the unique value you provide to the world.  This is the result that people or organizations (which are simply larger groups of people) get from you or your efforts.  It could be joy, wealth, information, knowledge, skills, a better life, etc.
