3 But what about your LIFE?
Do you want to go to college? What relationships do you want with your family? Will you join a gang? What will your attitude toward life be? Will you drink, smoke or do drugs? What will you stand for? What type of friends do you want have?

4 What is important to you?
So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important . . . What is important to you?

5 What do you want people to say about you on your 80th birthday?

Mental or first creation Ex: blueprint for a house Ex: creation of a business plan Ex: plan on how to raise children Physical or second creation Ex: building the house Ex: opening the business Ex: raising the children Most endeavors that fail, fail with the first creation.

Make the time to help those less fortunate than yourself or those who are having a bad day. Read the 7 habits everyday. Sample Mission Statement
