Mission Statement Exercise
Where are you headed in life? Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? These are deep questions that Generation WTFers like you are wrestling with everyday. To get started on your own personal journey to finding answers requires a good map. Your own map, your own guide, your own personal mission statement.
Your personal mission statement is a combination of your core values and your sense of purpose that will guide you through the tough career, personal, and financial decisions that lie ahead. In Chapter 1 of Generation WTF, readers are guided through a step-by-step process to draft this mission statement. And as you work through the rest book, you'll hone in on specific goals and values that you want to guide your life.
Everyone's mission statement will be different. As you think about yours, remember—it's not your parents' mission statement for you, it's your values, your dreams, and your goals for yourself.
To get started, think about what your core values are, what drives you, and what gives you meaning. Think about how you would complete these sentences:
- I will be…
- I will strive to…
- I will stand for…
- I will be remembered for…
Create Your Personal Mission Statement
Creating a mission statement isn't easy—but WTFers just like you are rising to the challenge. You can keep it private or share your mission statements with the Generation WTF community on Facebook.
