"While I could spend my days asking, 'Where is the need in this world?' I know I’m asking the wrong question. Instead, I recite my mantra, the fiber of my thoughts and actions: 'What is it that makes me come alive?' I challenge others to take up this mantle, identifying where they feel ablaze with intention and purpose."
