Personal Mission Statement

[GRATEFULONEjim]

Just started reading Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission" and was wondering if anyone has ever written a personal mission statement. It seems like a reasonable enough idea.

Well, for a college class I took, I had to write a Personal Code of Ethics. And I’ve come across reference to Personal Vision Statements. So this is probably along the same line. Read about it well, so that, if you chose to write one, it will be within the beliefs held by the Church. Also look up the Personal Vision Statement. It might be of some help as well.

I tried to keep mine simple–because I’m a simple person. It’s in Latin in my signature:

Be holy, do good.

Thats terrific! Love the Latin in your signature, and I had always wondered what it meant!

I don’t really have a personal mission statement, but if I did, it would be something along the lines of “Serve God in all you do”, or something to that effect.

Just a little quibble with your Latin–the future imperative of “sum,” i.e. “to be” is properly “esto;” and for “facio,” i.e. “to do,” is “face.” Now, if your motto were “To be holy, to do good,” you might render it with infinitives in both places, i.e. “Esse sanctus, facere bonum.”

There’ve been at least 3 people who’ve told me how it should be phrased in Latin and they’ve all disagreed. I know no Latin. It’s not worth changing again, IMHO. But thanks anyway.

To sum it up its “I’m not bragging, I’m warning.”
