Making a Dent in the Universe

“We’re here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why else even be here?”- Steve Jobs

Have you ever wondered why you are here?  What is the meaning of your life?  When the life candle burns out, what will the people left behind think was your purpose?  What dents did you make?

I believe that my mission is to influence others to do better.  When I was a teacher for 18 years I influenced several thousand students in seven institutions.    I believe that most if not all were better off for having me as a teacher.  Most would probably say that I was very different than most of their teachers in getting them to think outside the box.

Today, I influence through my work in industry and my creative writings.  Every day I write about a topic that peaks my interest.  I hope that it resonates with others.  Again, I am trying to think outside their comfort box.

I also believe that having a higher purpose doesn’t just help you find success. But finding it, it helps redefine the meaning of the word.  My highest value is to creativity.  My mission and highest value match up pretty well.

Today's question is:

"How will you make a dent?"
