What is your mission?
A task can be quite mundane. The daily life activities are all tasks that require attention,purpose and meaning. But that’s not what this is about is it?
You could link it to the secondary meaning which is something specific. This changes as you get older. The things that were important as a teenager are meaningless when you have moved 10 years further in your life. The task changes, the duty or duties change.
It’s an evolving process. The true meaning of that is not a transition from one life to another totally different one (it can happen!) but a gradual change that takes place because the priorities are different. It involves a determination to achieve something more useful.
What is my mission now? What can I change for the better? How can I help my closest and dearest family and friends to enjoy what they have? Can I bring about the difficult challenges that make me a better person.
In the end, I realise that I can’t change the big things. You know, the stuff you’ve got no control over. The small stuff in my life I can and will try every day to make a difference.
I guess that’s a “mission statement” isn’t it.
