How To Find And Ignite Your Spark!

Have you ever entered a crowded room, and felt like everyone else is the main character and you're just an extra in the background? Or have you ever wondered “Where’s my spark?”, when you're scrolling through social media, seeing everyone else's highlight reel? Do you recognize this feeling?

The World We Live In:

Often, the world we live in – with its constant buzz and whirl of comparisons – can unintentionally make attempts to snuff out our inner flames. The glitz and glamour of other people's lives can sometimes cast a shadow, making our own light seem dim to us.

The Hidden Spark:

Imagine for a second you're an archaeologist. Your mission? To unearth ancient treasures, buried deep below layers of earth. Your own spark is much the same: sometimes hidden beneath layers of self-doubt, past mistakes, or societal expectations. The good news? It's always there, waiting to be discovered; unearthed.

Deep within you lies this flickering spark. It may be obscured by years of sadness, disappointments, comparisons, or perhaps a combination of all three. But without a doubt, it's waiting for you to become self-aware so you can ignite that spark again.

How to Unearth It:

Start by asking yourself: When was the last time you truly felt alive? Was it while dancing in the rain, sketching a sunset, watching a particular movie or perhaps just helping someone out? Those moments, no matter how small, are clues. They’re signposts pointing towards your unique spark.

Now, let’s take a hypothetical, Sarah. Sarah always felt alive while baking. The joy of creating something delicious from scratch was unparalleled for her. But societal pressure pushed her towards a 'stable' desk job. Her spark was baking, but it was buried under heaps of spreadsheets and deadlines. Until one day, she baked for a charity event. The response was overwhelming. That’s when she realized she could blend her passion with a purpose. Today, she not only bakes for big events but also conducts workshops for kids, teaching them the joy of baking. Sarah found her spark by revisiting what truly made her heart sing.

I Created This Challenge for You:
Your spark is as unique as your fingerprint. No two are the same. It's a blend of what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs. So, here's the challenge: Dedicate a week to self-discovery. Each day, do one thing you love, no matter how small or unconnected it may seem. Write about it, think about it. By the end of the week, you'll have seven sparks. One of them, or a combination, could be your unique blaze waiting to light up the world.

And always remember,you were made in the image and likeness of GOD HIMSELF.  There is no need to ever doubt your worth or your potential, There's a mini firework show inside you, ready to shine brilliantly in the vast sky of existence.

Go ahead, take that challenge. Ignite your spark and let the world be the awestruck audience to your grand display.

I hope this resonates and inspires you and others to truly find and embrace your unique spark!
