“You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.”
― Oprah Winfrey-
Have you ever felt like you're lost? You don't know who you are here. You don't know where you are going. You don't know what to do. You started doubting yourself. You don't feel any energy to wake up in the morning. You feel tired all the time... You don't see the meaning of your life..... Have you ever felt like that before?
Especially in the world like this, a time like this, anyone can get lost easily. Only Few people know what they want. Not all of those people are able to pursue that path. And even less people keep going. And only a handful of people will make it through. Knowing your path is only a beginning. So what would you do if you don't even know what is it that you want to do or what your path is?! You feel like you are merely surviving. You don't have any goal or purpose. You just wake up every morning for nothing. You feel like you'd rather not wake up because you don't know why you wake up every morning to begin with. You look at people on the street smiling and having fun, or at least so they seem anyway, and wish that you were them. You see other people getting their breaks. Doing things that you wish you were doing. Good things are happening except to you. You ask yourself why not me?! What happened to me?! What am I doing?! Why am I even here?! Does that sound familiar?!
The world is overflowed with everything and anything. too much information. too much materialistic things. People's definitions of "Happiness","Success" or "Having a comfortable life" have changed drastically. Doing "hard work" doesn't aways pay off. "Paying your dues" doesn't mean much. Making Youtube videos can make you a lot of money, or make you famous over night. Online has changed a lot of things as well. Things are not the same any more. What you believed in or what you thought it was right seem wrong in a matter of second. It's not easy to keep faith any more. People talk the talk and pretend they are somebody or something else. And they forgot who they are and can't find it any more. and once you are lost, it's not easy to get out from there, like in the quicksand. You try everything. Try to talk yourself up. Listen to all the motivational talk. Read self-help book. Meditate... and it still doesn't work. And it just makes things worse.
But I want you to remember that you have a spark within you. Somewhere deep inside, you have that spark that you need. You've always had it in you. Ever since the moment you were born, it has been there. All you have to do is to find it and light it. You'll never know when you'll see that spark. You might not realize it for a while. You have to be ready. Keep your eyes open. Listen to what the world is telling you. Pay attention to what's going on. It could be something as small as a flower on the curb. Or something you see on TV. Something you hear on the radio. Or something you see everyday even! It could be anything. God has put the spark with in you way before you were born. So when you find that spark, make sure you light it. You will feel the indescribable love. And feel the love that you're surrounded. You will feel it. You will know. Keep your faith. If you haven't find the spark, the time will come. It might not happen soon. Nobody knows when. Sometimes you need to hold on to things that you don't see. And that's a part of your journey. Just remember that you're worth it. God has placed you here because there's a task He wants you to do, a task only you can do. Because you are who you are, and who you can be.
Love, Hope, Faith.
