Weekly Flyday Post XV

"Aviation is the fuel for the soul to burn bright."

A lot of times I think that we truly forget that aviation exists. Sure, those with the sheer obsession will find solace in it. However, unless traveling, people often forget the planes in the skies. That is really okay because they are meant to seemingly go unnoticed. Their engines are meant to whirl through the air. When one takes a deeper dive so to speak into the aviation world, they cannot help but feel that amazing connection. The sky almost calls the soul to come and fly. 

I know this specific feeling because I have experienced it. Ever since I was a young girl I have felt the pull towards the sky. From swinging on the swing, to watching the clouds move on the trampoline, and maybe even being obsessed with the color blue, I knew this was my place. Aviation is my place, my home, and my refuge. Whenever I look up at the sky I cannot help but feel that sheer connection with the clouds. It seems as if the clouds above act like the heart of the sky as they float through the sky. The wind acts as the lungs, allowing the clouds to move and function properly. It is quite an amazing concept to think about here. 

Sure the sky has always been there, but do we all pay attention to it? I feel as if this is something that will help us get back to connect with the whole world. We all share one big sky with different horizons. The sheer amazement of the sky still connects me to the fact that this place is a wonderful place to be. Aviation has served the purpose of keeping me in 'check' with the pilot's checklist. In another way, aviation has been the passion that has fueled me to keep going. the importance of that is beyond explainable. What would my world be without it? I am not sure. That is the only answer that I can possibly give to that question. I love the world of flight and the freedom that it brings. My journey ages with time, and I cannot wait to make it to being a commercial airline pilot. 

Big dreams are always accomplished by small and simple steps. While time reveals a lot, we can understand that it is sure amazing that one thing can motivate a soul to keep moving forward. About a week ago as I was contemplating my further adventure and what will happen next, I came up with my own quote about success. It seems as if the world is all about success, which is necessary in life to a point. No one needs to be rich and famous to be successful. The quote I came up with was this, "success is not determined purely by an outcome, but merely by effort and determination." The sky has taught me to shift my own perspective. In all honesty, this is so important when looking at the bigger picture. I can say so myself that being able to feel that connection with the sky has helped me find my place. 

My whole journey so far has been nothing short of pure amazement. I have met so many amazing people with the same interests as me. I have been able to build a strong community of like minded individuals. Everyone is welcome here because we share one big sky with different horizons. My goal is to create a happy, healthy, and like minded community of individuals. With this adventure I also hope to further inspire others to find their connection with the sky. Aviation is a wonderful industry with so many different pathways that make so many different outcomes possible. Being able to feel that sheer connection with the sky has  really changed my own life. I firmly can say that this is aviation, this is flying, and this is even freedom. "Flying is freedom and freedom is flight."
