Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

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

What role does faith (in myself, in something greater, in the future) play when I feel overwhelmed inside ?

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

What lessons is the universe trying to teach me through the challenges I see around me?

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

Journaling, Prayer

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

During a conversation where I felt truly understood and reminded that I wasn’t alone. Shout out to Jake, Princess and Ruan.

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

When I carried the weight of worry for too long, and it weakened a lot my feeling of inner peace.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Happiness, Success, Money

I originally assumed:

I used to think that happiness was a destination I could reach only after I had enough success or money.

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense that success is not only about achievements or financial gain, but about the impact I have on others and myself.

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

was when I reached out to someone for support, even though I usually try to handle everything on my own.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

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

Princess Adeyi

My message of thanks to them is:

When I made my post on gallery, you’re the first one who reached out to me and make sure that I was okay. I didn’t hesitate to open up and sharing everything I was going through. Thank you so much for everything and for trusting me enough too. Wishing you all the best for college

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Allowing myself to be open about my struggles, so others feel safe to do the same.
