Resolution or Mission

Fellow Labourers-

I guess most of us have an idea what is our mission in life, but have you tried writing it? Writing it helps us to focus as well as assisting in articulating what we are really about. Take a deep hard look at this paragraphed culled from the attached article.

"Everyone in this world has some form of a mission statement, though often it is not formally stated. Many have implicit mission statements to make money or to become powerful or to be successful or to optimize pleasure. Though many of our goals or resolutions are not necessarily wrong in and of themselves, they become empty when elevated beyond what the accomplishment itself can provide. Success in the stock market does not make for a successful life. There is a vast difference between a resolution and a mission statement. We were meant for far more than any accomplishment of our own can provide."
