The planet’s surface is filled with as many personal mottos as there are people. Therefore, finding one that fits your personality can be challenging. It’s hard to pick just one great idea among so many great ones.

Consider adopting a personal motto that reflects where you are right now. My constant refrain is that we are not the same people today as we were last year, and we won’t be the same people in a year. Therefore, you shouldn’t worry about finding a motto that will work for you today and in 50 years.

Sure, if you find one that fits well, that’s great! When you feel the need to change your motto, just remember you can do so. It can apply to a wide range of life scenarios and experiences.

How Can You Decide and Write Your Own Motto?

Think about what you value most at this point in your life when choosing your motto. After that, brainstorm a lot of words and phrases related to that topic. Don’t worry about loose associations: let your unconscious guide you.

Maybe you’ve come up with a phrase that means just what you want it to mean. You can even use a few words that work well together. Apart from that, you can choose from many quotations, song lyrics, and poems. Hang your favorite (or a few) on your wall after printing it out in a favorite typeface. When you read it, it makes you feel good. Try a few others until you find one that fits better.

It is easy to adapt their wording to neutral pronouns, even though they may refer to a particular gender. Below are some that may inspire you.
