Personal Mission

19th of November, 2007, v4

I believe that the defining feature of a worthwile life is to live it according to a good and ambitious mission. There is no predetermined goal in our lives or any prearranged plan, nor is this life a simple preamble to a better ‘after-life’. We live now, and only during this life. Everything we want to do or want to be we should do or be now!

The essence of leaving a good life is to do well for others and myself in a way that is as positive and meaningful to everyone involved, which over time develops into a legacy that will determine how much my life has meant to others. I refuse to live my life according to a work-eat-watch tv-sleep routine.

Integrity
For me the most important value is integrity. To live life with honesty. good intentions and good actions. I love how it feels to be completely honest and want to be able to keep feeling that way.

Do Good
In every situation and at every time I promise to myself and the world to the thing that I feel is the right thing to do. This is the only way to make a positive impact and maintain integrity. The personal consequences are of secondary importance only.

Positive
I admire loyal positive people with vision, passion and the persistence to make things happen. Those are the people to keep around me, Those are the people to be inspired by.
My general attitude should be appropriately humble, strongly empathic, resourceful and very calm/organized even in very stressful situations. Towards those close to me I want to be fun to be with and caring/loving.

Self-Development
I will always keep trying to improve myself in every aspect of life. Improving myself makes me a more capable person, which increases my capacity to do good actions

Goals
I will always make, have, keep and achieve goals that I set for myself. The most importantt of which are in this document and will be kept up to date.
All goals should follow my guidelines for integrity, doing good, being positive and self-development.

  • To have a life that makes people ask “You did all that?” more and more often
  • To directly improve the life of at least 1000 people significantly
  • To visit every country and learn at least one important life lesson in each one
  • Develop and maintain meaningful relationships with everyone I care about
  • Die without regrets

I am not a saint, nor will I ever be. I will most likely slip up once in a while. This is not good, and I won’t stand for it.. but I will not be sidetracked from this mission as long as I live.

I am open about this mission and will distribute it so that others can hold me accountable for its contents and my actions.

“The worst state of being is remembering the future”

Signed,

Me.
