What Michael said.

"Bring Peace to Everybody" is what Steve would call a General Purpose[1]. It's a guiding light, but not very practical in itself.

You need to bring it down to a Specific Purpose[1] ie. How you see yourself implementing that on a practical level.

You've said that peace "is a personal choice and an act of love, not simply the lack of conflict." Where do you see yourself fitting in to the creation of that?


[1] I only recently realised that Steve ripped these terms from the Toastmasters manuals.
