hozh’q The Navaho would translate hozh’q as “the beauty of life as seen and created by a person.” The word incorporates many concepts, including health and well-being, balance and happiness. The Navaho perceive thathozh’q can start with one person and extend outward indefinitely, having a unifying effect on other people, on the world, and even on the universe. How would you apply this word to your life?

“…the world needs you to be forever the generation of strategic optimists, the generation with more dreams than memories, the generation that wakes up each morning and not only imagines that things can be better but also acts on that imagination every day.” Thomas L. Friedman, Pulitzer Prizewinning NY Times Columnist
