The next step in this book, after identifying Mission, is to look at Values and Goals. The author gives a long (really long) list of possible values to choose from. You choose all the ones that resonate for you and then narrow it down to the top 10. Then get them down to the top 6 and prioritize them...

My own Top Ten are:

• Freedom
• Excellence
• Nature
• Health
• Independence
• Making a Difference
• Discovery
• Simplicity
• Environmentalism
• Travel 

At least, that's what they are right now... they might change. Values are key to life. Cause the truth is if we are only motivated by externals, our motivation will fizzle. Motivation has to come from the inside, from our values - it'll be more lasting. It's all about finding the passion in our life and living from that, on an ongoing basis.

The second part of this section deals with Goals. These are Mission Goals, what do we need to do to get to our mission? The author suggests having a maximum of six goals that we can pursue at any given time. Which makes sense. We can ultimately have innumerable goals, but we can only handle a relatively small number at any given time.

Now... to put all of this together... coming up in the next section.
