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.
