What is your personal mission statement?

Asked by MissAnthrope (21511points) January 8th, 2011

I spent today on an all-day meditation retreat and one of the exercises, near the end, was to write out a personal mission statement. Much like a company states its purpose in a mission statement, a personal one is about how you want to live your life.

The teacher read a speech by Steve Jobs and talked about how he checks in with himself daily to make sure he’s in alignment with his personal mission statement. Jobs said that when he goes three days without being able to answer that yes, he is living his purpose and happy, it is time for self-reflection and re-alignment.

I’d love for you to take a moment and think about it. Who are you? What do you need? What are your gifts? What is your purpose? What is your personal mission statement?
