Writing a Storyline, An Alternative to the Mission Statement

In Million Miles, I talk about structuring your life like a story so that, when you're done living it, it will have been more meaningful. I also talk about how if you're life story were spelled out on the back of a DVD cover, what would it say. Something like:

"Donald Miller desperately wanted the new Volvo, but he didn't have enough money. So he got a job at a local grocery store and worked the nightshift till he could afford the down payment…."

Not so exciting. But change those elements...
