- I want to live.
- I want to know what it is to live for something good.
- I want to look back and know that the choices I've made have not been selfish.
- I want to know that I've given my energy to something worthwhile.
- I want the relationships I've made to have been productive, to have produced joy and goodness.
- I want to savour the small detail of life. I want to know what it is to be thankful.
- I want to inspire others to savour life too, to think, to feel, to taste the beauty. And I want their beauty to be different to the beauty I know. I want us to share together in the immense gladness there is existing on this planet.
- I want to pay attention to the misery experienced by others. I want to be courageous enough to allow myself to feel it keenly - so that I am motivated to live and act on behalf of others.
- I want to speak, and for my words to cause a rhythm which ripples through the lives of others.
- I never want to die without living.
