First, go around and pick up the most inspirational book in your house, or a recording, a podcast, an audiobook—whatever you find inspirational, that challenges your thinking, and is positive and something you like. Sit down for ten minutes and read/listen. You don’t have to be listening for anything in particular or underline something; just relax, enjoy it, and read or listen for the next ten minutes. After you’ve done that, take a blank piece of paper and write down what would likely end up in your mission statement, if you were really going to write one right now.
