I lost my flame yesterday after having it for months. When I got on Skool for the first time yesterday at 6:02 pm I saw it, shrugged and was like NBD. I'd been spending time with my family and catching up with my sister which is way more important to me than the flame. It got me thinking about what the flame represents and how we might create an unnecessary attachment to it. Before I would've been concerned because I had a strange desire to have the flame because everyone on Skool was telling me I needed it. But why??? Likely vanity, metrics, chasing the carrot, proving your dedication, etc. It's inherently built into the gamification which isn't good or bad, just is. In the last few months I've becoming increasingly detached from the messaging and talking heads in Skool (like we've been saying about coaches and mentors in the Tribe recently) and everywhere. I'm listening to my heart, taking what works for me and leaving the rest. We all need to do what's best for ourselves and the beauty is that we have that choice. So if you've been feeling anxious or anything else about your flame status, "the sun will rise again tomorrow," in the words of our amazing mermaid leader @Rositsa Aleksandrova. How are you feeling about the flame?
