As you start your divorce, life can get chaotic. You could easily end up spending your days with activities that seem to require your immediate attention but which have nothing to do with your short or long term goals. Having a peaceful divorce is not a matter of being a good person, having a cooperative spouse or lots of money to split between two households. Couples who divorce peacefully do so because they set it as a goal. You can’t change all the history that led to your divorce. However, you can change the direction you are headed right now, simply by charting a new course.

A mission statement for your divorce is your compass guiding you away from conflict and toward peace. There will be many tempting distractions during your divorce. Your mission statement will keep you on track. It points you in the direction of living in a way that you know will make you proud of yourself.
