Compassion & Courage: Conversations in Healthcare
Your Mission Isn’t Finished
Show Notes

Do you have a personal mission? If not, do you have a life philosophy by which you abide? 

Even if you’ve never given it much thought, understanding this concept can help you frame life in a totally different way. 

Marcus and The Hotness share a story from a favorite book and author to help you understand your mission in life.


Key topics:

[2:45] Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach – last line in book has always stayed with Marcus; it reads along the lines of: “Here is the test to tell if your mission on earth is finished. If you’re alive…it isn’t.”

[3:16] Marcus’ personal mission

[4:12] “I’ve done everything I’m supposed to do here. I’m ready to go when it’s time.” – Marcus shares a beautiful, personal story of a friend’s mentor and his attitude at the end of his life

[6:10] Do the things that you are called to do. Haven’t done it yet? You still have right now…
