What is Your Mission? The Difference Between Ambition and Mission...
Hi, dear friends!
It is a rather peculiar conversation when we sit down to talk about the purpose of human beings on this world and what they should do with their lives.
If you go to your old man, he has a certain opinion of what you should do with the time given to you. If you go to your mathematics master, he will give his unbridled opinions about where science triumphs.
If you go to a politician, he will talk about his higher vision for society and the future of your country.
The point is that aspirations range from small to big, significant to insignificant, ambitious to modest, and etc.
Do you already know what your purpose is? It is important to have a purpose. I cannot state this fact enough; we all need something that gives us meaning.
It can be literally anything. I have even met people whose purpose were dedicating themselves to another human being.
What matters is that you need a purpose. You need not ambitions, but a mission that colors you in a different light than the people around you.
You might be wondering about the difference between ambitions (aspirations) and missions. Well, that contradiction is basically like the juxtaposition of day and night.
We all have ambitions in each and every moment of our life. When you were a kid, you had the ambition to grow to a degree so that you could climb the cupboard easily.
When you hit your teenage years, you had an ambition to be a police officer or a pilot. You had the ambition to date a beautiful girl and kiss her under the moonlight.
When you grew a little older, you aspired to become a millionaire and live a wealthy and prosperous life. You might have even had the ambition of becoming a person who other people could always rely on for help.
But a mission is different. Much more different.
When you have an ambition, it is for your own life. When you have a mission, it is much more serious.
An ambition is something you can live without, but a mission compels you to go through with it, come hell or high water, and never surrender until you accomplish it.
A mission is a statement to yourself and the world. When somebody is on a mission, they have to accomplish it. No shortcoming or excuse could dissuade them from accomplishing their task.
A mission is vital. To your life and the lives of all those who are around you. Perhaps the whole of human race and this planet that we live on.
Someone who comes to know their mission is someone who understands their purpose on this world. Your purpose is your mission. That, which above all else, you feel the need to accomplish.
That road, which above all else, you find yourself in often enough to prove that this is what you were born to do.
Do not follow ambitions and goals. Find your mission. Find your sole purpose of existence. Then dedicate your every ounce of energy towards realizing that vision and accomplishing that mission.
Your mission is a statement of your meaningfulness in this life.
Do not waste your time chasing pitiful ambitions and questionable desires, when you could easily live a life of happiness and contentment by following what you really want, deep down in your heart.
That is your mission. Commit yourself to that mission, and you will ride life straight to the destiny that you have always had to bear.
Your mission will be your true legacy for the generations of people to come and walk this good earth!
A BIG HUG!

Nice thought provoking post.
I wish I could settle on just one all encompassing single mission in life..Until I discover it I'll just keep trying to grow and find meaning while surviving.
At work when I define a mission statement, I also think about 'what does success look like', and then redefine that measure as time goes on....but work is a job, its something I do to pay the bills, it's not who I am.
I will think on, read what others put here and seek enlightenment for the job of working out my true purpose...thanks for your post
On a mission to inspire thru love!
Its like Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
Her ambition was to become a nun.
But her mission was to serve the poorest among the poor.
What made that her mission?
A mission will pop-up in our minds and hearts the moment we realize our purpose in life.
Its the ultimate fullness of every human being to have a mission for the common good.
I started with an ambition for myself but have now developed a mission for my family. Missions are much more as they are inclusive and depends on others. I enjoy my journey in fulfilling my mission for my family.

Excellent review @chbartist and you are right, our mission to be happy and all we have to do in the way of life is to become one. Of course, we all have our goals and desires, but life is short and we just have to not spend it on small goals and ambitions, but to achieve great things on our way!
as i like read about motivation articles and books.
being realistic at the same time, i would said that easy to been said then it being done.. if the purpose or so called mission being describe into social structure ..the higher social hierarchy meaning higher status and provides mission and vision for broader society such as Doctors, movie Actors, Entrepeneurs, President or whatsoever. the higher the social hierarchy the higher security to survive in society ... those that already find their purpose/mission is easier with people with a support of good amount of connections, resource, talent and great appearance... other's that might not so lucky perhaps do what ever have to do to survive even if they already read a motivation books or motivation articles... surely they can still rise their social status by alot of struggle and big amount of hardship in mental and physical. sadlly it cant be denied there's luck involved in life.
Many focus on ambitions because they report a specific material result for the satisfaction of the person who proposes it. But the mission goes beyond, looking for a result to share, give happiness and pleasure to others.
It varies from the modest, but important, mission of creating a family, until discovering the cure for some disease. Modest or large, our mission is what gives meaning to our life.
Best regards
The person with whom the person will go, with the main objective, will have knowledge of whatever knowledge he has. He will tell his knowledge that his scope will be limited so that he will tell about the same.
Generally we focus on ambitions and goals, but it is not common to talk about the personal mission, it is more related to the mission to a business or company, than to our personal life. And apply it to our life if it is something necessary. Thank you.
@chbartist . Interesting the subject of your post ... However, I think it is very easy to read but it is very difficult to get. A person always wants to establish a purpose for life, but this is always going to be spoiled or influenced by the environment. Strangely, people really do what we like, it is there when our purposes simply and slowly become clear until they disappear ....
From my point of view, the right thing in life is to do what really makes us happy ... As long as this does not affect in any way the other people in our environment, because in the end: they also want to do what they It makes them happy!
Each person is different, which can be a solid purpose for some, for others it can only be dreams founded among the clouds. There the beautiful diversity of human satisfaction. Greetings.
