Your Mission Statement

If you choose to accept the challenge, you will create a personal mission statement to share with your partner. This mission statement is about you and your life.

The For Dummies website states, "A personal mission statement is a written-down reason for being and many believe it is the key to finding your path in life. A mission statement is focused on the practice of what you need to be doing." It's a way to keep reminding yourself as you make decisions, what is really important.

For the swap, you will spend time developing and crafting a personal mission statement. Since it is yours, the statement itself can be as long or short as you think is appropriate. Then, you will share your statement with your partner in a letter detailing your process and why parts of the statement are important to you.

The letter should be one page and since it's about you, you can start right away.

Feel free to follow whatever process works for you, but here are a few I found:

Franklin Covey - based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

For Dummies

Quint Careers - more job/career focused but the process might be helpful to someone

Because this is as much for you as your partner, so there's not a lot of risk of loss, I'm opening this to newbies. However, I will be happy to angel with my statement and letter if needed.
