Make sure you include areas regarding morals, values & honesty. Next, put this statement in a place where it might easily be witnessed and read, like on a wall or as a desktop screensaver. Ultimately, make an effort to just read your mission statement every day. Constant repetition of a task is the best-proven technique of teaching oneself.

As you repeatedly read or hear it, you will more closely become them, and the next time you find yourself in a situation that tests your morals, your conscience and wisdom will guide you to make the right call.
