2008-2009

A few hours from now, school will start. With this new beginning comes another array of possibilities, another set of challenges, another structured span of time pressured, bombarded from all direction. Junior year seems to be a make or break moment but focusing to much on its criticality induces much burden and anxiety. It is always a tradition of mine to allocate an hour or two the night before the beginning of the school year just thinking, just reflecting, just feeling the movement inside, just flashing in my mind all the good possibilities of the uncharted path ahead. By doing so, I could prepare myself to embrace what is possible. My only rule when I will enter the day tomorrow is to embrace the richest possible potential of every moment, as what I always say. Being in the University has its fair share of great possible moments (seeing old friends, meeting new ones, being tasked, being mentored, learning etc.) and by just embracing when it comes, the richness of it will simply fill you up with the overwhelming feeling of gratitude, feeling of rejuvenation and an immense feeling of hopefulness. The only way to do this is to cultivate a closer affinity to the self whose center is God.

God loves you!
