Lift where you stand.

I think that just the fact that you're wondering what your personal mission statement is, is a good start - 'what is important to me?' is something that all of us should have an answer to, and be something we've thought about. And that's probably not the case.

What is the Buddhist phrase for a question without an answer? Oh yeah, a koan. Something to contemplate to help you find your way to enlightenment.
Sometimes the answer isn't 'the answer.' Sometimes just living with the question is the answer. Asking what your personal mission statement is should maybe be the first thing you ask yourself every morning...

Cheers.

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints, kill nothing but time.

One thing I like about being a nihilist is that I don't need to worry about such things

Nuthin' wrong with an occasional pithy aphorism to live by.

But to summarize your approach to life in a mission statement is like living your life to the complexity of a bumper sticker. But if reading Kahlil Gibran or other inspiration helps get through a rocky patch, that is fantastic and keep on truckin'. Which I guess in its own way is backing up into a mission statement: Live the life you've got.

Any corporate mission statement I've read is a marketing statement even if it touches on something about that company. Things are complicated.

Be memorable.
