Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

How can I reframe my past rejections as an exciting opportunity for redirection, where I can become a happier and more authentic version of myself?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

In what ways is floating in outer space in an astronaut suit similar to being deaf in a predominantly hearing world?

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:

Journaling, Prayer, Rest, Other

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

Celebrating my younger cousin's birthday with my family in a large beautiful garden. It filled my heart with joy to watch the people I loved the most being happy and upbeat.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

Scrolling through my Instagram feed and watching my friends attend their dream universities. It made me feel like I was falling behind, and it reminded me of my past university rejections.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Time/Attention, Leadership, Money, Happiness, Success

I originally assumed:

I used to think….that not moving at the same pace of my peers, friends, and companions made me behind or in some cases, a failure or unsuccessful.

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense…that we all follow different paths and make progress in different paces, which isn't a sign of failure, but actually a sign of growth.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

Intentionally choosing to have grace on myself by letting go of the resentment, disappointment, and grief I had built up from my past university rejections.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

A peer in The Flight School community I am grateful to is:

Asmaa Drawat

My message of thanks to them is:

Asmaa, I admire how you fill each of our sessions with your energy, enthusiasm, and open mindedness. Your thoughts and questions challenge me to think outside of my perspective, and they have genuinely taught me to exercise more compassion and grace towards myself : )

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Asmaa always asked questions that strongly resonated with my own questions, and this sparked a strong sense of relatability, because I felt I was able to understand many of her own experiences, thoughts, and questions on a deeper level.

Digital Detox Retreat

Number of days I've gone without technology
