It’s with the people you surround yourselves with. And that's just as important as the school that you choose.
Who’s in your life, and do you respect them, and do they respect you? And are you respecting them. Right?

Hopefully, these few gems today came at the right time to lift your spirits and remind you that your inner trust is as valid as anyone else's.

To make sure you’re following your intuition from a grounded place, meditate on actions, and nourish your body. Ask yourself if your steps will help someone in some way.
If the answer to the last one is yes, your first instinct is usually right.
