"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them." -- Isaiah 11:6

This verse is part of Isaiah's prophetic vision of a perfect future after the young messiah comes for his people.  There will be peace for even animals that would typically kill and devour each other.  Physical needs will be no more, and therefore killing will not be necessary.  The world will live in harmony.

So what is your vision of a perfect future?  What is your vision of even a perfect day? Spend time today picturing yourself in 1, 3, 5, and 10 years.  What would the "perfect" life be like for you?  Imagine a perfect world 1, 3, 5, and 10 years from now.  What does it look like in your neighborhood?  What can you do now to make these visions reality?
