23.11.2024 Today’s Inspiration from Dr. Joe Dispenza (Best-selling Author) and Graham Weaver (Stanford Professor)
Dear Students,
We’re sharing a few videos with you tonight, to provide some inspiration for this coming wintry weekend.
This first video (34 mins) urges you to focus on your own identity and inner beauty, rather than compare yourself with peers, images you see on social media, etc. Like the video that follows, it does not actually need to be watched; it can be simply listened to while doing another activity.

The second video below, while lengthier (53 mins) emphasizes the value of self-reflection, finding what really matters to you in life and then pursuing it with gusto. Weaver’s presentation to graduating Stanford students includes some humor, a lot of authenticity and a passionate call for all of us to be true to ourselves.

While ambitious international students like you work very hard to build analytical and critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities and time-management prowess, sometimes it’s valuable to simply step back from the day-to-day and “go deep” inside, to contemplate what really matters to you as an individual.
If you choose to listen to either one, we’d love to hear your reactions, too.
Wishing you a reflective weekend with a bit of provocative inspiration along the way!
Best,
Amy-Louise
