“RAISON D’ETRE”
It is a French term, meaning ‘The Reason for Existence’. Usually, the term is used to explain ‘Mission’ of the organization in Management studies. Mission statement is drafted by the organizations to reflect on ‘why it exists’, the core sectors it intends to serve, the needs it aims to fulfill and also the broad value system it follows.
Why we humans also should not have our own ‘Raison d’être’? Our own Mission Statement?
After all, this world was existing before we arrived, and would also be there when we are no more a part of it. Then, why do we exist here? What difference are we making with our existence on this planet?
It’s time for each one of us to draft our own Mission Statement, defining our ‘Purpose of Life’ – the way we wish to be remembered , the way we wish to leave a mark on the lives of fellow human beings, the values that we wish to promote.
Once, we start working on our Mission Statement, we will not just ‘exist’ on this planet, but would start ‘living’ in true, purposeful sense. It will provide a defined direction to all our thoughts, behaviour and actions. And, we will begin to enjoy our ‘Journey of Life’ much more.
It may be that we are already working on a purpose and making worthwhile contributions to the world around us. However, once we draft it into a defined Mission Statement, it will add wings to our contributions. And, also it would enhance our self-esteem.
The Circle Of Legends (TCOL) is providing such a platform to fulfill our Mission. Let’s make it a ‘Vehicle for Positive Transformation’.
