What do you want most?

Purpose
mission
A personal mission statement defines who you are as a person (or as a team member where you work) and identifies your purpose, whether that's in the office or simply in life. It explains how you aim to pursue that purpose, and why it matters so much to you. A personal mission statement simply states your purpose in life—it considers and combines all of your values into just a couple of sentences. It's important to have a personal mission statement as it motivates you to have a positive impact on the world and helps you feel more satisfied in your everyday life.

values
Choosing your personal core values is one of the critical focusing decisions that can make an amazing difference in how you live your life. As a person, they reflect the fundamental choices of who we want to be. In our network of connected decisions, they provide the goals and criteria that should influence all our other personal decisions. We derive a sense of fulfillment when living our personal values because our motivations and actions are aligned with the aspirations of who we want to be.
goals
Writing down exactly what you want, and by when, is the first step to success. If you won't commit to writing them down, you'll never do what it takes to reach your goals. Writing your goals in exquisite detail helps define them in your mind -- and provides the exact specifications for what you want to accomplish.
The more desirable qualities you add to the goal, the greater will be your satisfaction when you attain it. Be sure to write SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Realistic and Tangible -- and don't forget a target date. (Because the difference between a dream and a goal is a date!)
roles
Creating an ideal life, where all of your roles are completely fulfilled, starts with setting clear goals. If you never define what you expect, you will only get what life gives you -- and that may be a whole lot less than what you want.
Why leave things to chance? Every major interest and role in your life deserves its own series of goals. Clearly defined goals for each of your roles provides a rewarding direction -- and an ever-present purpose for each area of your life.
Wrap it up
If your life is your company and you are the CEO, how would you rate the success of your company? How are you as a CEO? Are you a star? What is the vision and mission statement of your company? The vision of a company enables it to align its resources to a singular direction, like your purpose. Its mission statement is an articulation of the vision in more specific terms, such as your life goals. What is the overarching purpose of your life? Have you discovered your purpose? What are your life goals? Have you identified them? Without clarity on these, everything in your life is randomly scattered and not optimized towards a common direction. There will be no singular focus at all.
