Test: What will help you find your spark?

When you’re driven by a sense of purpose, you can draw energy from thinking bigger picture and staying in touch with what really matters. Living a life that reflects your values feeds your spark, and personal growth is key for you. But if you also have a tendency to treat yourself as a work in progress, you may be subtly undermining your zest for life by giving yourself the subliminal message that you’re not quite good enough.
Setting a new goal or upgrading your habits and lifestyle gives you a temporary lift, but it can trap you in a cycle of always looking for the next thing. It may be that you could also benefit from a deeper foundation of self-acceptance. Although you’ve always cared about helping others, your spiritual side can get neglected, especially if you haven’t found the right way of exploring or expressing or it.
Your weak spot is your tendency to be seduced by the ‘new’, so rather than diving into the next lifestyle transformation that catches your imagination, try focusing on connecting more deeply with the here and now. Going back to your core values will help you make the mindset shift that will make a difference – sometimes, what we need to light our spark has been there all along, hiding in plain sight.
