Welcome to week forty-three. The week, David reflects on his investigation into vision, mission and purpose.
Excerpt:
Perhaps vision is a kind of revelation about what we’re assigned to do that we combine with the reality of our life. This will involve the missions of others. It would include our personal uniqueness, the uniqueness of the time and the environment we’re born to, and the involvement of untold numbers of people around the world.
This morning, I think mission is personal, a task or assignment I’m designed for and sent here with, my destiny. Like a snowflake, it’s unique, singular, and one of a kind. Vision will include the combining of my unique mission with the missions of others in the world to create the plan to accomplish this vision we share. Purpose will be a choice of who I am and intend to be so that I can accomplish the mission.
Mission, vision, and purpose were coming together for me. I liked the synergy between them and the way they might weave together to form a complete life.
