2. What do you do to contribute to your
overall good health? What other steps can
you take to further your commitment to
healthy living?
Example: I eat at least one fruit a day,
but I can make an effort to eat more;
I make it a priority to get an annual
check up with a doctor.
3. Think about the last time you worked
out, exercised or did a physical activity.
Afterward, how did you feel physically?
How did you feel mentally?
"The thing I learned is that you don't invent your mission, you detect it.
You uncover it, as it were." — Stephen R. Covey

4. How does your own personal approach to
overall physical health affect other people
in your world? (i.e. your family, your
friends, your community, etc.)
Example: I cook healthy meals for my
family and encourage them to make
healthy choices; I lead a walking group;
I help keep my friend accountable
by lifting weights with him 2 to 3 times
a week; etc.
FINISHING UP!
Great work! In the next part we will use
everything you’ve written over the last few
parts of this Finisher Program to build the
first draft of your PERSONAL MISSION
STATEMENT. This is going to be an amazing
experience! You have already written so
much about who you are and what you
believe. Hopefully you’ve begun to notice
several positive patterns. Maybe you’ve
found yourself repeating certain things over
and over in several sections – and that’s
perfectly fine. Or maybe, through these
exercises, you’ve discovered something new
about yourself! So come back ready to work.
And remember – don’t skip this step and
don’t take short cuts. This is your life!
Don’t cheat yourself!
MISSION STATEMENT: PART 9
YOUR MISSION STATEMENT
THE FIRST DRAFT
Welcome to Mission Statement Part 9 of
the TOPUCU Finisher Program. Today we
are going to take everything you’ve written
so far and build the first draft of your
PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT. To get
you started, here are the mission statements
of a few well-known companies and
individuals. Take some time to read through
them and then we’ll get started on yours!
MISSION STATEMENT:
Example:
“At Microsoft, we work to help people and
businesses throughout the world realize
their full potential. This is our mission.
Everything we do reflects this mission and
the values that make it possible.”
Microsoft - Computer Technology Giant
MISSION STATEMENT:
Example:
“To be a teacher and to be known for
inspiring my students to be more than
they thought they could be.”
Oprah Winfrey - TV Personality
and Entrepreneur
Mission Statement: Part 9
WRITING YOUR MISSION
All of the sections you’ve completed prior
to this will be incorporated. The objective
today is to get everything down on paper in
the general format of a mission statement
(we’ve provided a guide to that format in
this lesson). Don’t worry about grammar,
spelling, flow, or any of that stuff. Just refer
back to your previous work and begin
plugging it in. And if something new comes
to you, feel free to add it in as well!
We’ve strategically spent time thinking
critically and writing about every facet of
your life and personal development. And
we’ve focused primarily on the positive
aspects and what it means to be successful
in different areas of your life. At some
points it may have seemed slow or tedious,
but every step you’ve taken has been an
important building block in this process.
Remember what the Starter Program
taught us about forming good habits –
we have to perform a task over and over
again until our brain accepts it as a
natural part of our routine.
Now your brain is primed and you’re
ready to begin. So gather all of your
writing from the past 8 parts, review
the guide we’ve provided in the next
section and start writing!
