1.  I feel that I can influence the world in a positive way and ultimately bring harmony to it. My gift is love to the world.

2.  Honestly my love on this earth is making others happy. I take so much joy in seeing a smile on other people's faces. From opening a door to buying cars, it is like ripples in a pond, some drops are small, some big, but both can affect the outcome in life. I feel that, with the state the world is in, that it definitely needs a collective, positive energy collaborating to help other humans instead of using or killing them for profit. There is enough of bad stuff going on in the world and it mostly stems from people thinking of only themselves, instead of each other. My actions plainly show that I think of others first. If we can morph that into what can you and I get out of it, instead of what I can get at the expense of you, the world wouldn't ale so much. I love life and it is definitely important to love it because we don't have a lot of it to waste on this earth. I feel that my vibrancy and love for life and others will shine through and I will show that by doing anything I can, big or small.

3.  If I could get paid just to live, I would undeniably be a traveler. Wake up around dawn, catch a plane to some place I have never been before, interact with all the people, and look at everything there is to see there. I would spend my time just roaming around, with friends, family, or myself and looking at all this wondrous world has to offer. From one edge of the world to the other, I would take all the years of my life to wander the world and just sit; have a good sit and marvel at even the most simple beauty of a butterfly landing on a Irish spring flower. Or fly to Japan, in the secluded back areas where Apple Blossoms own the land. Even to the Mid-West and listen to the fields of grain whisper to the wind and listen to them converse. I would devote my life to being free. Free of restrictions, times, meetings, alarms, worry; every pestilence of the modern world would be cast aside as I lift off and float from one end of the globe to the other, as if I were some effervescent cloud of steam, blowing in and out at will, like the wind. And with all the beauty, knowledge, wisdom, and different cultures I would pick one place to start with and  show them everything, and slowly, maybe just slowly, it could spread, like a tidal wave until all peoples of the world harmoniously understand each other.
