President's Note
Life is contradiction. On the one hand, we want to be at peace with who and what we are; at the same time we want to be open to changes, to exploring new possibilities for what we might become. We want to stand up for the principles in which we believe, yet also to be respectful of differences in others and appreciative of what their differing perspectives have to contribute to the whole. It is these very tensions that allow us to truly live, to exercise our free will and experience the uniqueness that is our own personal life. When you next come upon a contradiction, a tension, a difficult decision... perhaps replace the naturally-arising frustration with the appreciation that it is such crossroads that give character to your journey, and that at the end, the only thing that will have mattered is if you made the best choice you could in that moment. |
