    1. Think of a person who made a positive difference in your life. What qualities does
    that person have that you would like to develop?

    2. Imagine 20 years from now—you are surrounded by the most important people in
    your life. Who are they and what are you doing?

    3. If a steel beam (6 inches wide) were placed across the space between two skyscrapers
    (100 stories high), for what would you be willing to cross? A thousand dollars? A
    million? Your pet? Your brother? Fame? Think carefully.

    4. If you could spend one day in a great library studying anything you wanted, what

    My Mission Statement
    "Mission statements come in many forms--a poem, a song, a quote, a picture, many
    words, a single word, a collage of magazine pictures, (or photos you have taken). There
    is not a single right way to do it. You're not writing it for anyone else but you. It's your
    secret document, so make it sing! The most important question to ask yourself is, "Does
    it inspire me?" If you can answer yes, you did it right."

    "Once you have it written, put it in a place where you can easily access it, like inside your
    journal or on the mirror. Or you could reduce it, laminate it, and put it in your purse or
    wallet. Then refer to it often, or, even better memorize it." (7 Habits)

    So, Just Do It!!
