- What 3 accomplishments would you like to achieve to make you happier?
- Why will these accomplishments make you happier?
- What is your personal mission: I will become _____ (my role) who will _______ (my claim to fame) within ______ (number) days/weeks/years.
- Why are you fully committed to pursuing your personal mission?
There's another step you can take to reinforce your personal mission statement and strengthen your subconscious intent: self-hypnosis. There is a charismatic mind-shaping exercise specifically for the Stylelife Challenge, which is made available for you at www.stylelife.com/challenge.
After you download it, find a comfortable place free of distraction. Dim the lights, take off your shoes, and sit down or lay down. Relax. Then put on headphones and play the audio. Make sure you listen to the entire recording without interruption. It's more important to feel this experience than to see it. Try to listen to the recording every other day during the challenge. The more you repeat it, the better the result.
Mission 3: Look into Their Eyes
Your field assignment today is to go out and make small talk with 5 more strangers. But this time, there's one more thing you need to do: make eye contact with each person. Write down his or her eye color.
In the first small-talk exercise, the purpose was to develop the ability to talk to anyone without fear. Meeting new people eye to eye (being careful not to stare) will not only increase the likelihood of a response, it'll help you connect with them on a more personal level.
If you'd like to develop this crucial but subtle skill further, here's an extra-credit exercise. Try to hail a cab, get a bartender's attention, or call a waiter to your table without speaking or gesturing -- instead, use nothing but eye contact.

Be sure to read tomorrow's assignments the moment you wake up -- before you shower, shave, or check your email.
