Today we're going to create your very own slogan. One that is unique to you, that will inspire and guide you through your 2019 adventures. A well-crafted slogan will have the power to transform your thinking, your outlook and ultimately, your life.
Huh? What do you mean, a slogan? A slogan is a short and striking or memorable phrase; a motto. If you put your slogan on a T-shirt or coffee mug, you'd be proud of it.
Think of your Slogan as the umbrella for your entire life. Touchstones, which we discovered yesterday, usually feed into your Slogan.
Materials: For this exercise, you will need something to write on or in. A journal, a computer, or scratch paper - doesn't matter.
Time: Start with 20 minutes. Don't be surprised if you need more time for this exercise. This exercise usually takes me 2 hours over the course of a week. I like to ponder it over a number of days.
Look back at the list of Touchstones you cultivated during yesterday's exercise. The one that feels ridiculously powerful or just too crazy? That's where you should start your exploration. Hint: it will probably be at the top of the list.
Examples:
Persisting Works becomes:

Craft it into a brief positive phrase that describes what you want life to be about in 2019. You want to choose one simple, but powerful focus.
Write down as many options as you can. Get them out of your head and onto the paper. Just write, don't edit. Feeling stuck? Say your slogans out loud. You'll hear the ones that work. Another option is to walk away, but come back later!
Examples:
Persisting Works becomes:
Persistence Is My Secret Sauce
OR
For Best Results, Practice Persistence. Daily.
Failing Sucks becomes:
Failing Sucks becomes:
Failure Is A Glorious Option
OR
Success And Failure: Two Sides Of The Same Coin
