Stay Close to What Lights You Up
We downplay our passions.

Quote: “If it lights you up, it’s not random. Follow it.” — Unknown
Theme: Passion Is a Compass
There’s a reason some things stir your soul. Some topics excite you. Some people energize you. Some ideas make you feel more alive just by thinking about them.
That pull you feel? That’s not random. It’s a signal—a guidepost. Something deep within you is trying to point you toward your purpose, your joy, your power.
But far too often, we ignore those signals. We downplay our passions. We talk ourselves out of what excites us because it doesn’t seem practical, or it doesn’t “make sense,” or we feel guilty for wanting more.
But what lights you up matters—not just for your fulfillment, but for your alignment. When you stay close to what inspires you, you stay connected to your most authentic self.
Reflection:
Think about the last time you lost track of time doing something you loved.
When you felt energized instead of drained.
When your creativity flowed freely.
When your joy didn’t need to be explained or justified.
That’s the version of you the world needs more of—not the one who’s burned out trying to fit into someone else’s mold, but the one who is lit up from the inside.
Following what lights you up doesn’t mean you quit everything and start over overnight. It means you make room for what gives you life. It means you stop suppressing the parts of you that crave expansion, connection, creativity, or adventure.
Joy is not a luxury. It’s a strategy. It brings clarity, motivation, resilience, and meaning.
When you follow what lights you up, you lead yourself back to wholeness.
Call to Action:
Today, reconnect with your inner spark.
Ask yourself: What lights me up right now? What excites or energizes me—even just a little?
Then do one small thing to follow it:
Read the book.
Call the person.
Sketch the idea.
Take the class.
Block off 15 minutes to dream.
Whatever lights you up—lean in.
You’re not meant to go through life dimmed.
You’re meant to shine. ✨
Happy Friday!! I hope you enjoy a grateful day!!
