Celebrity Claims Life Must Be 'I-directed'

After a cancer diagnosis and enduring 17-months of chemo and radiation, Robin Quivers, co-host for shock-jock radio show host Howard Stern, claims to have discovered the meaning of life. In a recent (2013) issue of Rolling Stone magazine she said,

What I learned is very simple: that your life belongs to you. And it really doesn't matter what you do with it, but it should be what you want to do with it. Not what your mother or father or friends or society want. It should be "I" directed. And that's the only purpose for being here.

Possible Preaching Angles: Ms. Quivers has done us a favor by perfectly describing the exact opposite of the biblical message of servanthood and stewardship.
