CREATING A PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT
Before you start working on your legacy worksheet, it’s helpful to understand what you believe
your personal mission is in life. One of the most powerful methods to cultivate a positive legacy
is to create and live by a mission or philosophy.
A meaningful personal mission statement contains two basic elements:
What you want to do — what are the contributions you want to make in life?
What you want to be — what character strengths do you want, what qualities do you
want to develop, and who to you want to become?
Ask yourself:
What would I really like to be and do in my life?
What are my greatest personal attributes?
How do I want to be remembered?
Who is the one person who has made the greatest positive impact in my life? Why?
What have been my happiest moments in life? Why?
If I had unlimited time and resources, what would I do?
What / Who are the most important things to me?
How can I best contribute to the world? My family? My career? My community?

What or who has left a legacy
with you?
Who has been the most
influential person in your life?
What qualities do you admire
most in that person?
What qualities have you gained
– or desire to gain – from those
people?

Step Three: Define your Life Roles
You have a variety of roles in life. You may have roles in work, in the family, or in the
community. The roles become a natural framework to give order to what you want to do and to
be.
Your family role may be “wife’ and “mother” or “husband’ and “father”. Some areas of your
life, such as in your career or in the community, may involve several roles.
Examples:
• Wife/Mother, Manager, Marketing, Leader, Red Cross Chairwoman, Mentor, Friend
• Husband/Father, Minister, United Way Regional Volunteer, Trusted friend
For each role you have in life, describe how you want to be viewed or described in that role? By
identifying your life roles you will gain awareness, insight, and perspective. By writing these
descriptive statements you will begin to identify the core principles and values you want to live
by.
Role: Description:
Wife How would you most like to be described in your
role as wife?

STEP FIVE: EVALUATE IT
Review it and ask:
Do I feel this represents the best that is within me?
During my best moments, do I feel good about what this represents?
Do I feel direction, purpose, challenge, and motivation when I review this statement?
If you like it, you have your mission statement.
