# The Future Is What We Create by Peter Diamandis > "Our mission is to keep you hopeful, optimistic, and inspired to find your massive transformative purpose, choose your moonshot, and make it happen. This is life during the singularity; it is never going to be any slower. Each of us has the opportunity to make the future what we desire. The future is not happening to us; it is what we create.
