I will expand the realm and widen the horizons of human possibility. I may help individuals do that, by helping them see new perspectives, achieve new vistas, attain the dazzling heights of their potentials; or, if I can, humanity as a whole, by building on and further creating human knowledge, by bringing fresh and illuminating perspectives to bear on the existing.
To do so, you will need to expand your own horizons as far as possible first, in every sense of that word. You should learn as many sciences and arts and skills as you can, and read and travel widely. Talk to people, no matter how different, and try your best to communicate and connect with them. Then build on these. Push a bit further, and glimpse just beyond the current limits of the horizon. Tell others just how wide their horizons could be.
I am not a hedonist in any sense of the word. I do not crave material enjoyment for its own sake, nor will I hoard present knowledge for the sake of merely appreciating it without further building on it.
So. That was a lot of big, fluffy words. What concrete thing are you doing today to work towards your mission?
