Find Your Spark... and Integrate It in Your Life

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” - Mark Twain

The "spark" simply refers to "what you love." It is your deepest source of motivation and joy that drives your actions and decisions. It's about aligning your life with your core values and intrinsic motivations, leading to a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Start to make connections with ‘sparks’ as you have definitely experienced them at some point in your lives. Relate to moments when you are:

• Wide eyed, what took your attention away
• Heart flutters, what made you feel the soft and fluff within
• Fully curious that you want to find out more
• Ears open, what caught your attention and you keep hearing about
• When you were moved deeply, striking a cord
• When something made you smile profoundly

Further nurture these ‘sparks’ as you would nurture the start of making a fire, bring your loving attention to it, investigate, try it out, test, and go into deep discovery mode.

People often confuse the "spark" with hobbies or interests.?

1. It is important to understand that the "spark" is an internal experience.
2. How you express your "spark" externally can come in many forms—hobbies, interests, or talents. When you are fully aligned with your spark, you will naturally become “very good at it”.

Most people stop short here and turn their passions into side hobbies and interests because they see what they love and what they are good at as not something the world needs or others will pay for.

However, if we go further and ask, "Why do I have these passions and how can these passions serve the world?" you will start to see “where in the world needs your spark”.

Eventually, when your spark is needed, “you will get paid for” living your passions.

This is the Japanese concept of Ikigai.

Additional Tips to maintain your spark after finding it:

• Spend time consistently getting inspired, especially from industries that are totally different from what you are doing. This helps fuel creativity and maintain your spark.
• Create momentum and integrate a work-life flow that allows you to experience grace and ease. Know when to slow down and when to ramp up.
• Stay in the present, shifting away from worrying about the future or fearing the past. You are most powerful right here at this moment.
• Steer away from gossip, hearsay, and badmouthing. Wish the best for yourself and even more for people around you, especially competitors.
• Consistently express your languages of love and passion.
• Not one spark is the same; find similar sparks or those on the same vein. Find your tribe—they will help you grow, expand, and flow.

We hope you ignite your unique spark and lead a life filled with purpose, joy, and impact.
