Vision –vs-­‐ Personal Mission

What is the difference between a vision and a mission?

Vision:

Vision communicates an ideal end result, a vision. It reflects values and

beliefs, and should inspire and challenge.

Perhaps the best example of a public Mission Statement was made back

in 1960, when John F. Kennedy, referring to the U.S. space program, said

that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade — a

clear goal with a specific timeline for its achievement. And, despite

enormous challenges, by mid-­‐1969, Neil Armstrong had taken that "one

large step for mankind."

Another is a young aspiring teacher: I want to be selected as Alaska’s

Teacher of the Year in my first five years of teaching.

Personal Mission Statement:

A personal mission statement is a brief description of what is important

to you, what you want to focus on, what you want to accomplish and

who you want to become in a particular area of your life in the near to

long term future. It is a way to focus your energy, actions, behaviors and

decisions towards the things that are most important to you.

A personal mission statement is a purposeful promise that carries you

towards your goals.

A personal mission statement is a tightly focused explanation of how to

achieve your personal vision.

Over the years, your circumstances will change. Your priorities will

change. Your goals and dreams will change. That's okay -­‐ because

change means growth. As you grow, transform, and broaden your

horizons, allow yourself the freedom to expand and refine your mission

statement.

Personal Mission Statement Template

Feel free to combine these sentences in any way so that your personal mission statement reads as you would like it to. You may shorten it, change the order, add something…… you decide, it’s your mission statement

"To ... [what you want to achieve, do or become] ... so that ... [reasons why it is important]. I will do this by ... [specific behaviors or actions you can use to get there]."

"I value (choose 1-3 values important to you) because ...[reasons why these values are important to you]. Accordingly, I will ...[what you can do to live by these values]."

"To develop and cultivate the qualities of …(2-3 values or character traits) ... that I admire in ...[an influential person in your life]... so that ...[why you want to develop these qualities]."

"To live each day with ...[choose one to three values or principles]... so that ...[what living by these values will give you]. I will do this by ...[specific behaviors you will use to live by these values]."

"To appreciate and enjoy ...[things you want to appreciate and enjoy more] by ...[what you can do to appreciate/enjoy these things]."

"To treasure above all else ...[most important things to you] by ...[what you can do to live your priorities]."

"To be known by ...[an important person/group]... as someone who is ...[qualities you want to have]...; by ...[some other person/group]... as someone who is ...[other qualities]...; ..."

Vision Action Planning Worksheet

"The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams." Og Mandino: Author, The Greatest Salesman in the World.

Write a clear statement of your personal vision below:
