3. Now review each column one at a time. Circle the 5 to 10 words that are your favorites in each section. Now you are starting to whittle down your lists to the very most important words and phrases!

4.  Next, at the bottom of each column on your page or at the top of a new page, write down a 6 to 10 word succinct, bouillon-cube summary of the crystallized essence from your very favorite words and phrases in each column. 

5. Now, craft these 3 phrases together. Put them in any order you wish that sounds right. Be as precise as you can. Remember, you are aiming to articulate the essence, the sense, the big picture Vision of who you are, where you are coming from, and how and to whom you want it to turn out. This is only a draft. You can continue to tinker with it. Keep it close to you. It defines the very substance of who you are and where you are going!

I just ask your forbearance, that, in giving these examples, you look beyond their generic or particular nature. They just are to be helpful illustrating how it comes together. The parentheses are not part of the statement, but signal what of the 3 8-word sections from above they are here:
