State your life mission!

According to one book I read, people should state their life mission.
What you want to reach, what you want to be, or what you want people remember you as a person.
Why?
The easiest reason; just imagine you attend your own funeral.
There are some people would give speech, to tell something about you.
What do you want them to say? Of course you want to hear something good.
But that’s not the only reason why we should state (or have) our mission.
By having it, we’ll know what our aims and what we should do to achieve them in limited times we have.
Time keeps running and it can’t be turned back, unluckily.
For people like me, it could be very useful since I feel that I often waste my times to do un-useful things.
I just don’t want to regret in my old age, that I didn’t do that and this.
For example, I regret that I didn’t push myself to practice swimming when I was in kindergarten.
Just because one drowning experience that made me gave up.

It also could be a private statement where you can write everything in your mind that you want to have or achieve, without influences from anybody.
And I think, ‘Everything in your mind’ here means everything you could (or dare to) imagine.
But of course you should make it rather possible to get..
For instance, visiting great places all over the world,
or maybe asking a gorgeous man like Prince William to marry you.. =)
(please carefully note: it’s “you ask him..” it’s still possible toch?
Rather than to have him asking you to marry him… hihihi… :p)
At the end if we’re lucky, maybe we could find in that state-mission, what our final purpose in life is.
