The Great Discovery is a fun activity designed to help you get in touch with your deeper self as you prepare to write a mission statement. As you walk through it, answer the questions honestly. You can write your answers in a separate sheet of paper or a note book which you may want to use as an important book.
If you don't feel like writing your answers down, just think them through. When you're finished, I think you'll have a much better idea of what inspires you, what you enjoy doing, whom you admire and where you want to lead your life.
 1. Think of a person who made a positive difference in your life. What qualities does that person have that you would like to develop?
2. Imagine 20 years from now - you are surrounded by the most important people in your life. Who are they and what are you doing?
3. If a steel beam (6 inches) were placed across two skyscrapers, for what would you be willing to cross? A million rupees? Your parents? Your brother/sister? Your children? your spouse? Fame? Think carefully…
4. If you could spend one day in a great library studying anything you wanted, what would you study?
5. List 10 things you love to do. It could be singing, dancing, looking at magazines, drawing, reading, daydreaming…..anything you absolutely love to do!

7. Five years from now, your local paper does a story about you and they want to interview three people…a parent, a brother or sister and a friend. What would you want them to say about you?
