A Flight Academy for the Soul —
Compasses, Maps, and Navigation Tools for Life
THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT CHOICE
The single most important choice you’ll ever make is whether you see yourself as a Grower—a Flyer—or not.
The second most consequential choice is who you surround yourself with.
Do you choose fellow Growers—those who keep evolving, stretching, and refining their flight?
Or people determined to remain unchanged?
Because who you fly with shapes how far—and how fast—you’ll go.
CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY WISELY
If you choose growth, your closest circle must be made of others who are also growing. Otherwise, you’ll unconsciously slow your own pace to protect the comfort of those who refuse to move.
You’ll shrink so they won’t feel small.
You’ll carry extra weight so they won’t resent your ascent.
You’ll spend precious energy trying to pull forward those with their heels dug in—locked in a perpetual refusal of the call to adventure.
THE MAGNETISM OF GROWTH
Growth is magnetic.
It draws others—some who are ready to rise, others who just want to feel the lift.
But real growth demands effort and accountability, and not everyone is willing to give that.
WHEN YOU KEEP GROWING AND OTHERS WON'T,
IT CAN CREATE ENORMOUS DRAG.
THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE THAT DRAG IS CLARITY.
CLARITY IS NOT CRUELTY
It isn’t cruelty to see clearly.
It isn’t cruelty to move forward.
Everyone is born to grow, but not everyone chooses to.
Ask yourself: Are the people around you Flyers—or are they rooted to the same spot?
STAMINA AND COMPANIONSHIP
Growth isn’t a spark—it’s sustained flight.
It takes stamina to stay aloft through headwinds, turbulence, and the long stretches between lift and landing.
That’s why soul friends—Anam Caras—matter so deeply.
They’re your wingmates: the fellow Flyers who help you stay oriented when the sky goes dark and fatigue sets in.
They remind you that you’re not alone—that others have flown through storms and found clear skies again.
They hold faith in your wings when you forget how strong they are. Growth is a solo choice, but it’s never a solo journey.
ANAM CARAS AND THE FLYING CLUB
My Anam Caras are a colorful variety.
Some have bright, expansive outer lives; others have deep, luminous inner ones—
but all share a willingness to meet life as an adventure, even when it’s dark or difficult.
They understand the price of growth—and because of that, they honor and celebrate it in others.
That’s what The Flying Club is:
A home for Growers.
People who try and fail.
Who risk and triumph.
Who admit they don’t know—and then figure it out.
Who chart a course—and revise it in flight.
People who choose to soar.
People who keep company with other Flyers—fellow adventurers of the soul.
Your Invitation to The Flying Club Lounge
Join your fellow Flyers as they navigate growth in the Flying Club Lounge—a space for camaraderie, filled with real conversation and shared wisdom.
It’s where Flyers talk about the true weather of growth—how we handle life’s emergencies, navigate obstacles, solve problems, and face our own limitations.
Share your leading edge of learning—the unknown you’re currently navigating.
Listen to others as they share theirs.
Learn from their journeys. Add your own.
We—your fellow Flyers and Anam Caras—don’t care how fast or slow you go. That’s your business.
