What is Your Mission?

My mission in life is to leave things better than I found them, and to hopefully make people smile or at least think about things a little deeper, a little more perhaps. I guess my mission would be to write and have my writings leave a mark on someone somewhere.

To be read, like Jules Verne, or Edgar Allen Poe long after I am gone from this world would be amazing. It is a form of immortality in a way. I don’t want to be famous, per se, I just want my ideas to live on, in some capacity. Even if it is just a family heirloom of a book that my family passes down, or if somehow I influence someone who becomes more successful than I.

Just to know I have done something worthy, even if it is just for me. That I didn’t just work myself to death day in and day out doing the same thing over and over and over. I guess I want to gain and pass on knowledge to others, and hopefully things get better in the future and people are brought together and are less hostile to other viewpoints.

I want to foster discussion and discourse, I want to encourage thinking and thoughts, outside of the obvious. I guess, ultimately I want to become the best version of me that I can be.
