🧭 Find Where You Really Stand

🔹 R – Relationship

Prompt: Whose lives, stories, and struggles most shape how you see the world today—and why?

Think Smarter: This is where politics becomes personal. Consider who you carry in your heart when forming opinions—both seen and unseen.

• 👨‍👩‍👧 Whose well-being do you worry about most when policies change?
• 🧑‍🦽 Who around you might be impacted in ways you’re just beginning to understand?
• 👥 Do you make space for voices outside your experience—or does your circle echo your own?
• 📣 Whose pain, joy, or silence affects how you speak up—or stay quiet?
• 🌐 Are you holding space for people you’ll never meet—future generations, global neighbors, marginalized groups?

🧠 Reflection Tip: Politics isn’t just policy—it’s proximity. The more lives you consider, the more layered your thinking becomes.

🔹 A – Aspirations

Prompt: What kind of future do you want—not just for yourself, but for your community, your kids, and even people you’ll never meet?

Think Smarter: This is about hope with roots. Not wishful thinking—but vision. Define what a better world looks like from your point of view.

• 🌱 What would it mean for everyone to have a real shot at dignity, safety, and opportunity?
• 🎯 Are you imagining a future of innovation, tradition, peace, resilience—or something else?
• 🏙️ What does progress mean to you—and who gets included when we move forward?
• 📜 If your children or mentees inherited your politics—what kind of civic culture would they live in?
• 💡 What lights you up, breaks your heart, or moves you to act?

🌠 Reflection Tip: This isn’t about being “right”—it’s about being honest. Let your values stretch across time. Think legacy, not just headlines.

🔹 I – Insights

Prompt: What have you learned from life that changed the way you think—and where might your blind spots or biases still be hiding?

Think Smarter: Insight doesn’t shout. It whispers through your memories, your growth, your contradictions. Go deeper than what you believe—explore why you believe it.

• ⚖️ What’s something you used to believe… but no longer do? What changed you?
• 🧠 Where do you turn for truth when headlines clash and emotions run high?
• 🔍 Have you noticed your own filters—based on fear, identity, comfort, or pride?
• 🗣️ When was the last time someone changed your mind—or made you rethink?
• 📚 What story, study, or conversation reshaped your understanding of an issue?

🧭 Reflection Tip: Awareness is a skill. Bias isn’t failure—it’s part of being human. Growth comes from noticing what’s under the surface, not pretending it’s not there.

🔹 N – Next Steps

Prompt: If you let your groove—not your label—guide your civic actions, what would that look like?

Think Smarter: Action isn’t about loudness—it’s about alignment. Real courage comes from showing up in a way that honors your truest self.

• 👣 What’s one step you could take that reflects your deepest values?
• 🗳️ How could you show up—locally, digitally, or relationally—with more intention?
• 🧘 What does integrity feel like when no one’s watching?
• 📣 Are there ways to speak up that align with your style—not someone else’s script?
• 🌱 What practice—asking questions, staying curious, reaching out—could grow your impact?

🌿 Reflection Tip: You don’t have to fix everything—but you do have a role to play. The next chapter of your civic identity starts with a single, honest step.
