      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life&amp;hellip; Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone&amp;rsquo;s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;~ Viktor Frankl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are YOU here to do?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; specific vocation or mission in life?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clear? Write it down! Live it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stuck? Write down the question: &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;What is my specific mission in life?&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then simply write down &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;My specific mission in life is to &amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; and let it flow. Don&amp;rsquo;t censor yourself or need it to be &amp;ldquo;right.&amp;rdquo; Just write.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The process of discovering who we are and what our greatest gifts are AND how we give those to the world is, at least in my experience, an arduous one. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;rsquo;t just snap our fingers and say, &amp;ldquo;Aha! That&amp;rsquo;s it!&amp;rdquo; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At least I didn&amp;rsquo;t&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve had many amazing ideas/breakthroughs/distinctions, but they come in the midst of (pretty much constantly) &lt;em&gt;living in the question &lt;/em&gt;of what my mission in life is. AND having the courage to start taking the baby (and/or BIG) steps I feel intuitively called to make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, please please please (please please please) spend some time today asking yourself the question of what you&amp;rsquo;re here to do in this beautiful world of ours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s live the question. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, the answer.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
