11. Examples of Personal Mission Statements
“I am the facilitator of growth and development, grounded in a process of reflection and learning. Through consciousness raising, believing that change starts in the human heart, I provide opportunities for learning and remove obstacles to change.” (Lorraine 2017)
My mission is to give, for giving is what I do best and I can learn to do better. I will seek to learn, for learning is the basis for growth, and growing is the key to living. I will seek first to understand, for understanding is the key to finding value, and value is the basis for respect, decisions, and action. This should be my first act with my wife, my family, and my business.
I live to serve my talents as a communicator, an artist, and an independent businesswoman. I create balance in work, play, and community. I inspire those I interact with.
