I think that allowing people to explore their own complexity is crucial to creating a stronger future. Not only do we take the time to remain still, but we also explore the endless emptiness of the quiet. Not only do we strive for our physical fitness, but we also match it with principles that go beyond gratifying our desires. Not only do we aspire to fairness, but we also critically examine how the decisions we make shape our organizations and lives for equity, or lack thereof. The phrase “make your own life” refers to taking charge of your choices, deeds, and fate. It might also mean pursuing your aspirations and living your life as you see fit. Live in the now: Concentrate on the present.
Pay attention to what matters: Make time for the things that are most important to you. Be kind: Don’t harbor resentment toward others or yourself. Take chances: Have the courage to take some chances. Make plans: Make plans for yourself. Pick your companions carefully: Think about the people you spend time with. Help others: Helping others or changing the world gives you a sense of purpose.
