Conscious Mission Part 3

In contrast, control of the direction of self events does not insure certain results because of the lack of control of external events. Indeed, understanding that many externalities are by nature outside the control of an individual may be said to be a primary belief itself in the establishment of personal mental health. Furthermore, with some exceptions, certain beliefs may generally contribute to a healthier self. Moreover, all sorts of institutions have understood that to direct people's beliefs is to direct their whole persons. Additionally, appeal to the most basic human desires that spawn and support beliefs, has been used as a successful tactic to affect control over individuals. Thus, individuals may use some of the same methods that others have used from outside the person, to execute control over themselves. Also, individuals may look to the means the body uses physiologically to affect the self. Nevertheless, choosing a direction for the self or determining a personal mission can be a difficult process to begin, but may reveal much about a person's beliefs and assumptions. Currently, many organizations have found that a statement of mission or goals and purposes of existing, are essential to the initiation of changes in group behavior. Equally though, the application of a mission to the present can be daunting. The multiplicity of elements acting on an individual at any given time, demand that choices and eventually priorities be made and set. Choice implies control and therefore a source of control. Individuals can chose to be active in the choices that determine personal happiness and mental health or may wish to remain unconscious of the internal dynamics that shape who they are and how they feel.
