Once upon a time, many decades ago, human beings lived in geographically isolated patches of settlements across the globe, which made it hard I believe for humans to truly understand the wider scope of the human species, to an extent humanity could create some real strong bonding, worldwide. Overtime though, when the desire to enhance the quality of life set-in, several of the documented early explorers such as Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, and others, ventured into uncharted waters to discover the world. Amongst the very early explorers, we learn that they were on a mission to seek for new trade routes reaching out to faraway places, and in addition they were also eager to find valuable minerals, of which top in the list were gold and silver. Since these early days we have had other fundamental human life changes such as the agricultural, industrial, technology etc., revolutions that overtime hugely modified the order of the world, in a generally more supportive and life-enhancing way.

Now, the key lesson to learn here, for someone looking to inject a sense of growth and advancement in their life, is that all the supportive and life-enhancing outcomes from past initiatives, were anchored on three key things:

i. Firstly, there needed to be a desire to change the prevailing setting or situation of human life to one that is better or more fulfilling. What this means is that the change makers had to experience some burning desire and feel self-driven to seek for solutions to enhance life. The source of the burning desire and self-drive emanates from a sharp sense of purpose, which essentially is the key instigator in any venture of advancement. Put in other words, without a tight fit to your purpose anchor you can never activate that latent ability within to be proactive.

ii. Secondly, the change makers must have formulated a clear picture in their minds of an advanced and better life for society, portraying all the ingredients, missing links etc., needed to afford society a fulfilling experience of life. That clear picture in the mind represents a vision for a better future and was the main compelling factor that caused the different explorers to make the specific journeys, and end at distinct destinations. A clear vision serves to provide a perfect direction to the intended destiny.

iii. Thirdly, and lastly, and perhaps more importantly, the burning desire and self-drive power of purpose needed to be utilized to transform the visionary picture into reality. That means action is required to literary transform what thoughts for a better life exist in the mind, into tangible products or other forms of real outcomes. The very steps taken to act and create the products and outcomes, which represent that desired or portrayed in the mind, is exactly what the anchor of mission is.

So, you can see then that of the three anchor points, being purpose, vision, and mission, which are all vital to ensure organisation and stability in your life, the latter, that is mission, is the most critical when it comes to creating real results.
