This is a beautiful sentiment. Mindfulness is becoming the next big corporate thing. It is important that it does and does so in making the world a better place with more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. When we measure success with these qualities, rather than making money and the material things we can own, the world becomes a better place. James Hillman suggested we put numbers on things that can only be described incompletely.
“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more ‘successful’ people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.” ~ David Orr

Thank you Elizabeth. I will take a look at the link.
My sentiment entirely.
I think there are many people coming to this conclusion. It is important for us to make a difference. Adding up each little difference makes a large difference.
For all humans to become humain is to become whole! To live is to enjoy. To love and be loved should be the goal. Living this life on earth would then be lived by all for it’s real purpose!
Great post full of mind pushing thoughts!
