What is your Heroic Mission?

We are all on a heroic mission whether we realize it or not. When you strip away the surface of running a business, supporting your family, and paying bills, what is left is your heroic mission – your passion. At times, I find myself focusing too much on the other stuff and forgetting about my Heroic mission.

As a Martial Arts business, I defined my heroic mission three years ago as Inspiring Excellence. I direct all my efforts towards this mission. We don’t teach just kicking and punching – we teach a system for children and adults to strive for the extraordinary.

The heroic mission of your business or life is like any story with peaks and valleys. Think of any story, for example King Arthur or a more modern example of Rocky, where the hero goes through a series of tests and at their lowest point is the turnaround to their greatest victory.

What is your Heroic Mission? Define it and write it down. Everyday ask yourself if your actions are in accordance with your heroic mission. If they are not, immediately change your course.

When you are at your deepest despair, I have always found that this is just before my greatest success. What would have happened if you were like most people and quit? You’d miss out on your greatest successes. No, not you! Because you are on a heroic mission – your extraordinary. When you hit a low in your life, the answer is to push harder because you know that success is just around the corner.

Here’s some fellow blogger that I believe are on their Heroic Mission:

Go To The Ant – She is on a journey for financial freedom. Her mission is to create an emergency fund of $5400 and currently, she saved $1787.50 towards her goal. Way to go!

No Impact Man - Colin Beavan ventured on a year long project to have zero impact on the environment. All of this while living in New York City. His story is simply amazing!

Working For Financial Freedom – She and her husband are working to pay down a $58,345.16 debt. Since March 28, 2007, they managed to pay off $30,019.20. I can only say wow.
