Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.
"There is no problem so big that it cannot be run away from."
... "You're quoting Snoopy the dog, I believe?"
"I'll quote the truth wherever I find it, thank you."
In order to live free and happily, you must first sacrifice boredom.
It is not always an easy sacrifice.
The idea that we are physical beings descended from primeval cells in
nutrient soups, that idea does violence to my intuition, stomps all
over it with football-shoes. The idea that we are descended from a
jealous God who formed us out of dust to choose between
kneel-and-praying or fires-of-damnation, that stomps me worse.

There is such a thing as perfection. Our purpose for
living is to find that perfection and show it forth.
--Richard Bach
_Jonathan Livingston Seagull_ [1970],
The most important thing in living was to reach out and
touch perfection in that which we most loved to do.

_Jonathan Livingston Seagull_ [1970],
