If you want to be able to actually live by your mission everyday, then you need to create a list of at least three questions to askyourself daily.

For example, if your mission is to become a best-selling author, what do you think would be some questions that you would need to ask yourself daily?

The most obvious one would probably be:  Did I write today?

Others may be, Did I read something new today?  (Good writers are always avid readers, at least in my opinion).   After you have something written you want published, one of your questions may be, Did I reach out to an agent or publisher today that might be willing to consider my work?

What about if part of your mission is to be a loving spouse or parent?  What questions would you ask yourself?   First would probably be, Did I spend quality time with my spouse/child today?

Many coaching clients that I work with find that the 3 questions they ask themselves daily are the best way to hold them accountable for living their mission. They are usually “yes” or “no” questions and even if people already have a mission statement, this helps truly test if they are striving to live it day in and day out.  It makes people think about the behaviors they exhibit and if they exhibit them regularly enough to make them habit.

More on this with 10,000 hours of practice next week…
