Q Now that you have reviewed the Vision Board presentation information and resources, it is time to develop a purpose statement to serve as the centerpiece of your board. Purpose Statement An important component to living on purpose and applying growth mindset is a personal mission or purpose statement. A purpose statement serves as a guide and a beacon; it is something that will change and grow as you change and grow as an individual, academic, and professional. As you are working to develop a sense of purpose via your vision board, it is important that you begin to articulate that sense of purpose in writing. For the first part of this assignment, you will develop a draft of a purpose statement. The purpose statement is one of the few must have requirements of the vision board. It should be featured somewhere on your vision board. Before you begin, study the following resources: • Developing Purpose • Dave Ramsey, "How to Write a Personal Mission Statement' (Links to an external site.) • Fast Company, "Personal Mission Statements Of 5 Famous CEOs (And Why You Should Write One Too)" (Links to an external site.) The rules for your mission statement are simple. A good mission statement includes: • Your skills and abilities (what you like to do) • Your personality traits (how you do it/operate) • Your values, dreams, and passions (why you want to do it/excel) Sound familiar? It should! These are the areas in your Living on Purpose mindmap! Take what you brainstormed and write a simple statement of 50 words or less that combines these three. The resources above include some excellent examples. Here is my mission statement as an example: "To share my enthusiasm for learning to inspire others to become lifelong learners and use their talents to create a better world." Don't stress so much about this being perfect. You will receive feedback, and you will continue working on it throughout your career. A mission statement is a living piece of writing. It is not set in stone! You will need to include your purpose/mission statement in your final vision board. It should be featured prominently on the board itself. For this week, simply turn in your purpose statement, which should be no more than five sentences long!
