Application Suggestions


                 1.  Take the time to record the impressions  you had in the funeral visualization at the
                 beginning  of this chapter. You may want  to use the chart below to organize your
                 thoughts.

                 2.  Take  a  few  moments and write down your roles as you now see them. Are you
                 satisfied with that mirror image of your life.

                 3. Set up time to completely separate yourself from daily activities and to begin work on
                 your personal mission statement.

                 4. Go through the chart in Appendix A showing different centers and circle all those you
                 can  identify with. Do they form a pattern for the behavior in your life? Are you
                 comfortable with the implications of your analysis.

                 5. Start a collection of notes, quotes, and ideas you may want to use as resource material
                 in writing your .personal mission statement.

                 6. Identify a project you will be facing in  the near future and apply the principles of
                 mental  creation.  Write  down  the  results you desire and what steps will lead to those
                 results.

                 7. Share the principles of Habit 2 with your  family or work group and suggest that
                 together you begin the process of developing a family or group mission statement.
