Happy Birthday, University of Iowa! On February 25, 1847, the Iowa General Assembly voted to create a State University of Iowa to serve as the state’s institution of higher learning. The resultant University of Iowa still offers opportunities for Iowans to learn.

Changing your mind doesn't always mean you've abandoned your principles. It often means you've learned something.

It's better to contradict yourself and be accused of hypocrisy than to stick to your guns and sacrifice your values.

The hallmark of integrity is not consistency. It's honesty.

The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them.

Harmony is not the combination of identical sounds. It’s the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments.

Creative tension makes beautiful music.

Major life decisions shouldn’t be based on short-term emotions. They should be guided by long-term values.

Feelings are better mirrors than maps. They reflect our present state, but they don't come with future directions.

Don't let today's mood drive who you become tomorrow.

It’s psychologically easier to play politics and cast blame than it is to actually feel the anguish associated with witnessing the kind of loss we’re seeing in LA. But we owe it to our fellow citizens in harm’s way to feel their pain. We owe it to our own humanity.

Your worth is not defined by what you achieve or acquire. It’s a question of who you become and how you contribute to others.

Self-esteem should come from character, not success or status. The highest accomplishment is to be a person of generosity, integrity, curiosity, humility, and wisdom.

Much to unpack ☕️🤔
My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
