A manifesto is a public proclamation of intention and intention is what brings purpose, meaning, and significance to life. The Latin root of “intention” means “to stretch toward something.” So make your manifesto a beautiful, crazy, wonderful “stretch document.” Let it remind you of how you intend to experience and savor the rest of your life. And when you’re done writing it, feel free to make it public. Post it above your desk, on your wall, on your facebook page—and then live up to it.
