How am I to live?

A question asked of those ready to move on to new adventures...perhaps these three stones will provide a firm footing with which you may continue your journey:

Humanity - Interacting with people in ways that show acceptance and understanding of multiple perspectives, not merely your own.

Thoughtfulness - Interacting with people in ways that show care in the use of constructive and helpful language, both verbal and nonverbal, as well as knowing when to or not to continue the interaction.

Strength - Interacting with people in ways that show clarity and conviction through humane and thoughtful deeds even during times of stress.

Congratulations on the steps you’ve taken. We’re so proud of your progress.
