The Importance of Having a Mission

Having a Mission whether small or large is essential to maintaining happiness and direction in life. It does not matter if you are 18 or 85, if you do not have a purpose to wake up everyday and do something your mind will slowly atrophy and begin to fade. This most likely explains the rise in Alzheimer's disease among older people because once they retire they also lose having a daily mission to get out of bed for. Even if you are younger you must have something to do whether it is a job, school, or taking care of someone you must have something to put your mind too. Lack of a proper mission in younger people likely causes depression, feelings of hopelessness, and turning to substances to fell the space and time where your mission should be. If right now you do not have a mission I recommend you start some sort of physical exercise, preferably resistance training of some sort, it does not matter what age you are, this activity will help your body work better which in turn allows your mind to work better and releases serotonin which will increase your mood and outlook on life. If you are unemployed start looking for a job, even if you do not get one you still are on a mission to get one. If you want to go back to school now is the time, fall classes are starting very soon. Make the leap, find a mission if you are lacking one, if you have a mission just keep on going no matter what.
