• Always be working on a mission – life is a process of achieving a mission then starting on a new one.
• Kids are a form of “self-improvement project”; you have them so you can have a mission/responsibility.
• What about when everyone else is having kids – would you feel pressured?
• Debating, playing “Devil’s Advocate”, and my friend’s views on this.
• Mission: Hold a Baby
