Personal missions are as different as people. Others merely like to pursue certain ends irrespective of what others think. The exact nature of what such a person might choose as ultimate achievement is secondary to the satisfaction he or she will derive from striving to achieve, and ultimately achieving, a challenging goal. Once a person has identified his or her core values and basic mission, he or she is ready to establish goals that are really likely to generate excitement over the long term and to help that person become the best that he or she can be. Although the perceived desirability of a particular achievement is the spark that can ignite a burning desire to succeed, it is not by itself enough to motivate a person to action.
Many people spend much of their lives dreaming about a desired state of being.
They can imagine the desired state and gain considerable satisfaction from that process of imagination. Those who act certainly do not believe that success is assured, but they do believe that they can make success happen. Such people have converted an imagined state into an actual object of desire.
