Sociologist, historian, and activist W. E. B. Du Bois with some life advice in a letter to his daughter:
"The main thing is the YOU beneath the clothes and skin—the ability to do, the will to conquer, the determination to understand and know this great, wonderful, curious world. Don’t shrink from new experiences and customs. Take the cold bath bravely. Enter into the spirit of your big bedroom. Enjoy what is and not pine for what is not. Read some good, heavy, serious books just for discipline. Take yourself in hand and master yourself. Make yourself do unpleasant things, so as to gain the upper hand of your soul."
In this time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, it’s never been more important for us to be the witness of our experience. To turn our attention inward toward our own reactions, and find our center so that those around us can find theirs.
The Vietnamese monk, Thich Nhat Hanh once said:
“When the crowded Vietnamese refugee boats met with storms or pirates if everyone panicked all would be lost. But if even one person on the boat remained calm and centered, it was enough. It showed the way for everyone to survive.”
