"Here's a test to determine whether your mission on earth is complete. If you're alive, it isn't." Richard Bach
A funny example that I have heard others use, but - seriously - have you ever thought about what your mission is? Most of us will not touch billions of other people through media like Oprah has, nor will most of us invent something that will make us billionaires - like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. But, I think we do all have missions. The missions may be small. In fact, I think they usually are --- just affecting the small group of people with whom we share space in life. But the impact is no less significant, albeit on a smaller scale. How we show up in life and how we treat ourselves, others and all life is our mission. If we are alive, then the mission is not complete. We can still grow in treating ourselves and all other life with love, respect and dignity.
