I need a mission we all need a mission that’s what life should be is a mission that’s what gives your life purpose and focus and drive and ultimately satisfaction now that mission can be the job you work at it can be providing for your family or it can be getting better at jiu-jitsu or stronger at Olympic lifting or starting a business that you want to grow and build and take over the world and sometimes people ask me what to do if they don’t know what their mission is or what their mission should be and I tell them if they’re in that situation to go help someone go help someone else make that your mission because that will make you better and it’ll make the world better and eventually from that you’ll see what your mission is now I was lucky because from a young age I had a mission I wanted to be some kind of commando and eventually I ended up hearing about the SEAL Teams and decided that that was the best place for me and that’s where I went and once I got to the SEAL Teams I had a new mission which was to prepare for war and that’s what we did and then eventually war came and then that was the mission to take the fight to the enemy to close with and destroy them through close combat and that’s what we did but eventually for me and for everyone in the military it ends maybe because of retirement or maybe because of family obligations or maybe for medical reasons but for every warrior eventually the war ends and that career ends and that mission ends and I’ve talked a lot on this podcast about how important it is to find a new mission once the war is over for you and you’ve done your part you have to find a new mission
