For thousands of years, the writers of wisdom literature have reminded us that each person’s life is a unique journey—your life is no different. Your journey from cradle to grave can and should be a grand and satisfying adventure. But grand adventures don’t happen by accident. If you seek to leave your mark upon the world, you’ll need to decide exactly what kind of mark you intend to make. In the process of formulating your personal mission statement, you will clearly define those things which will assume utmost importance in your life. Once your mission statement is completed, you may choose to go further by drafting a clearly defined set of personal goals. Meaningful goals of short, medium, and long-term duration serve as your roadmap through life, thus ensuring that the road you take will be one of your choosing. The most powerful goals are those which are written, measurable, achievable, but challenging. Once you’ve completed your written mission statement and goals, review them often. You’ll be reminded of the things that really matter in your life. And you’ll ensure that your journey is worthy of the traveler. Thoughts on Your Life's Mission "Make your life a mission—not an
intermission." "Great minds have purposes, others have
wishes." "What we are is God’s gift to us.
What we become is our gift to God." "I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading; it
vexes me to choose another guide." Living on Purpose "Purpose begins with clarity. Clarity means having a
specific image of what we want. Most of us don’t have that." "Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live." "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." "The great and glorious masterpiece of man is how to live
with a purpose."

It
has been said, "If you don’t know where you want to go, any road will
take you there." Do you know exactly where you intend to go in life, and
would you recognize your destination if you arrived there? If not, it’s time
to draft a clearly-written personal mission statement. This statement should
contain a brief overview of your attitudes toward the most important areas of
your life, including spiritual, family, professional, health-related, financial,
and social concerns.
