Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

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

How can I develop the courage to connect with others and openly express my thoughts and opinions

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

What significance does marriage hold for Gen Z communities, and is it still viewed as a lifelong commitment?

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

Other

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

After each of this month’s courageous conversations, I began to see the world from a very different perspective, which left me feeling more enlightened and inspired about my journey now and in the future.

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

When I started feeling anxious about on the ground travel and my visa application in the coming week.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Impact

I originally assumed:

I used to think impact was only about me, how my life changes, and how I want to live. That was a very inward, self focused way of viewing impact.

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense that impact is more meaningful when you contribute to changing the lives of others, not just your own. In the process of supporting others, you yourself become more connected to who you are and where you want to be.

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

I had a very vulnerable conversation with a close friend, which I initially felt I didn’t have to have. But it was me opening up and sharing how I truly feel from the heart.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

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

Douglas Teixeira de Queiroz Santos

My message of thanks to them is:

Thank you, Doug, for always being present during our conversations and offering such insightful questions and thoughts, as well as sharing your experiences. You have been an example of a grounded mind for me in our group discussions. Thank you for being vulnerable with me.

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Having honest conversations about being human has also shifted my idea of what a conversation can be, from something like an interview to a genuine exchange with friends. Our group calls have also helped me connect more deeply with others.
