The Spark That Won’t Go Away

Some mornings, you wake up with a strange feeling—you know you’re meant to be doing something that matters. There’s energy inside you, maybe even a passion, but no clear path to follow. You want to move forward but you’re not sure where to go.

It made me pause and wonder: how many of us are carrying this quiet spark? That deep, restless sense that we’re meant for something more—yet we can’t quite name it or figure out how to begin?

You Feel the Fire, But Not the Path

You might say: “I want to do something big, but I don’t know what or I know I’m meant for more, but I don’t know what that is.”
This kind of inner restlessness is real. You can feel motivated and stuck at the same time and that’s one of the most frustrating places to be. But it’s also a sign. That fire inside you? It’s not useless. It just needs somewhere to go.

It’s Okay to Not Have All the Answers

We’re taught to admire people with clear goals, polished plans, and mapped-out futures. But the truth is, many of us are figuring things out as we go. And not knowing your goal doesn’t mean you’re failing it means you’re still becoming.

This waiting, this searching, this not-knowing? It’s part of the process. Sometimes you have to wander a bit before you find your way.

Start Small and Stay Curious

If you’re not sure what your goal is yet, try this:

• Follow your curiosity
• Do one small thing that interests you
• Let go of pressure to be perfect
• Notice what gives you energy (and what drains it)
• Purpose often isn’t a “lightbulb moment.” It’s a slow unfolding. One small step can lead to the next. Even just exploring something new like reading, journaling, helping someone, learning a skill can light up something in you.

You’re Not Behind You’re Becoming

It’s easy to look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out. But you’re not behind you’re in progress. And progress doesn’t always look impressive from the outside. Sometimes it looks like showing up, holding on, and trusting that the pieces will come together.

Even when life pulls you in a hundred directions, your inner spark still counts. You are allowed to grow even slowly. If you don’t know what your goal is right now, that’s okay. You’re not lost. You’re in the middle of discovering something important yourself. The responsibilities may feel heavy. The path may seem unclear. But if the spark is still there, so is your future.

Let it burn quietly. Let it guide you gently. Keep moving. One day, that spark will light the way forward.
