Alain de Botton's beautifully clear video explains the difference between a Mission and an Ambition and also explains why we need to have a clear "Mission" in our lives.
One of the main problems for most of us is getting distracted with multiple plans and interests, and losing direction. De Botton explains how a Mission can help us to focus on what is important.
Having direction and a clear goal in front of you has obvious advantages. Firstly in terms of pushing aside everything that doesn't meet that direction and secondly in giving our lives purpose and meaning.
To state the obvious, we are more likely to get where we want to go if we focus on where it is we want to go.
