Do you have a sense of purpose? Where do you keep it?
When I grow up, I will be the President. I want to be a firefighter, a nurse, a mailman. I want to be a neighborhood candy shop owner. I want to be a soldier, a fisherman, or a circus freak, a ballerina. I want to be a tugboat operator, a teacher, a professional bakesaler, a painter. A police officer, a county or city politician, a US attorney, a secretary of state or a representative or a senator on the state level. I want to be a judge.
Before I die, I want to be a contributing member of the United States of America.
