Sample Personal Mission Statement Phrases

These are based on the book
Setting Your Genius Free: 
How to Discover Your Spirit and Calling
by Dick Richards





The basic idea from this book is that you can describe your purpose or mission in just two or three words.  It should be a phrase big enough in scope to be true no matter what job or role you have in life.  In other words, not tied to a specific career or job you hold, but something that comes from deep inside you that stays with you wherever you go, whatever you do.  It’s what you bring to the world.  Clues to your purpose can be found in your values, experiences, characteristics, skills, talents, and passions.
