A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
How can I remain disciplined without becoming rigid, and still allow softness, rest, and joy to guide my inner life?

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

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
On days when tiredness crept in and I questioned my pace, feeling briefly disconnected from my purpose, I would gently realign myself.

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Success,Happiness,Time/Attention,Impact
January 2, 2026
I originally assumed:
I used to think discipline meant suppressing my needs and emotions to succeed.
January 2, 2026
These assumptions are changing:
Now I sense discipline can be gentle, flexible, and still powerful when rooted in self-trust.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Reaching out to friends more intentionally and allowing myself to be present, open, and vulnerable instead of retreating into solitude.

Compassion
Engaged Empathy
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Choosing consistency over comfort. My yoga and padel journey taught me that showing up through difficulty builds confidence and trust. I now carry disciplined consistency into relationships and new environments, trusting growth will come even when beginnings feel uncertain.

My message of thanks to Princess
College applications are incredibly overwhelming, and hearing you acknowledge that made me feel deeply supported. Your words reminded me that I am not alone in this process, and that discipline, not motivation, will carry me through.

Thank you, Makuei, for making my transition to Kigali easier and more meaningful. You helped me find housing, guided me through the city, and created a sense of safety and belonging before I learned to navigate things on my own. I’m truly grateful.

I went to the migration office to check on my passport, frustrated after 8 days of silence since I submitted my documents. To my surprise, I found it had already been processed.
