Some might say we live in an era of corruption. So here’s my mission for you, if you choose to accept it: Corrupt others with kindness. Why not bring others back to the light? (Sorry, I’m a total Lord of the Rings fan). #oneringtorulethemall #kindnessrules

Today is a special day for us. We celebrate Christmas in our culture, even though we are a hybrid of religions and beliefs. So your mission today, if you choose to accept it: Be accepting of others. Whether they share your beliefs or have entirely different beliefs, as long as it’s rooted in love, not […]

My last mission was about being yourself. But it’s true that most of us are grappling with what that means. Who am I? What do I want out of life? How do I contribute? How do I find and realize my dream? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Get to know thyself better. […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Just say yes to belief. Believe in making things better. #justsayyestobelief #hope #befueledbyhope #betterways
