Statements
Define up to eight life roles and then write these roles in the boxes provided. Next, project yourself
forward in time and write a brief statement of how you would most like to be described in that
particular role.
By identifying your life roles, you will gain perspective and balance. By writing these descriptive
statements, you will begin to imagine your highest potentialities. You will also identify the core
principles and values you desire to live by.
Step Four: Write a Draft of Your Personal Mission Statement
Now that you have identified your life roles and defined what you want to be and do, you are
prepared to begin working on your personal mission statement.
In the following space, create a rough draft of your mission statement. Draw heavily upon the
thinking you’ve done in the previous three steps. Carry this draft with you and make notes,
additions, and deletions before you attempt another draft.
