1. A mission statement should be timeless and changeless. Because goals are not timeless, they should not be included. Mission statements should be based upon unchanging core principles that operate regardless of present realities or situations. This changeless core will enable us to live with changes inside other people and inside the environment. As our consciousness grows and we mature, we will gradually strengthen, deepen, and improve our mission statement. Nevertheless, we should always initially write our mission statement as if it will never change - as if it were timeless.

2. A mission statement should deal with both ends and means. Ends have to do with what we are about. Means have to do with how we go about achieving those ends. Principles are what we implements to achieve those ends. Ends and means are inseparable. In truth,

ends preexist in the means. “You’ll never achieve a worthy end through unworthy means.”

3. A mission statement should deal with all four of our basic needs:

a. To live (our physical and economic needs)

b. To love and to be loved (our cultural and social ends)

c. To learn (our needs to grow, develop, be recognized, and be useful) d. To leave a legacy (our spiritual need for

meaning, for feeling that life matters, that we add value and make a difference.

4. A mission statement should deal with all the significant roles of our life, such as a parent, teacher, manager, neighbor, and so forth.

“Internalizing” our mission statement will also help us get a clear understanding of what is truly important. Goethe once said, “Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” This means that we learn how to say no at appropriate times. Every time we say yes to something that is of little or no importance, we are saying no to something that is more important. Almost every day, most of us are caught in circumstances where we should say no but don’t. We often lack the ability to utter a firm but gracious no.
