CRAFT YOUR PERSONAL VISION STATEMENT


Once you have thoughtfully prepared answers to these questions and others that you identify, you are
ready to craft your personal vision statement. Write in the first person and make statements about the
future you hope to achieve. Write the statements as if you are already making them happen in your life.
Some experts recommend keeping your vision statements 50 words or less, but it is more useful to fully
articulate the vision you want for your life and your future, rather limiting yourself by the word count.
