Create for yourself an evolving document that outlines your purpose in life. Who are you? What are your values? What do you intend to do with your time to make your one life mean­ingful? Excepting acts of God, it is you who determines your future. You don’t have to listen to those who say you are too old, too young, too poor, too unattractive, too uneducated or the wrong color, gender or nationality. They are not speaking of someone following the Action Principles^®.

When you read inspirational passages in other books, mag­azines or newspapers, write them down or clip them out. Put everything together in a folder or box. This will serve as your motivational reserve and will help you create a personal mis­sion statement.

Your mission statement only has to be a few sentences or paragraphs. Refer to your mission statement periodically and don’t be afraid to change it as you grow. A mission statement will help you to establish a foundation upon which you can build your dreams and goals and from which will flow your objectives and daily to-do list.

There is an ideal you.

You are a tough, thoughtful, spiritual person of action. You are prosperous. Everything about you spells success from your home and your car, to your office. Some lucky few are able to call you parent or boss. Others are proud to call you friend. You have much and are able to share often. You are admired and respected.

Be the confident, ideal you.

Every day, stop to think about who you were, who you are now and the ideal you. What mistakes did you make? What slights did you commit?

Are you enjoying your days? Did you stop long enjoy to savor your tea? Did you stop to smell the rose? Did you see the children laughing?

You can describe the ideal you. You can keep a diary or scrapbook. Or, you can simply write a page or a para­graph. Keep writing and refining and living. While aver­age people are idle, you pursue your ideal.
