After grounding yourself in your identity and values, it’s time to give your direction some words. It’s time to Create a Personal Mission Statement. This doesn’t have to be fancy. Just one or two sentences that guide how you want to live during college.
Examples: “I want to live with purpose, love others well, and grow in my faith no matter what comes.”
“To pursue excellence in my studies, treat others with kindness, and stay true to my values.”
Let this be your compass when things feel unclear.
Try it! Write your mission statement. Share it with someone who can help you live it out.
