Adults Have Sparks, Too!
In your efforts to support kids in finding and developing their sparks, don’t forget to nurture your own as well. What inspires you? Which activities that you do make you feel like you have purpose? It’s easy for adults to get caught up in work, their families, and other obligations and lose sight of what really drives them.
You can use the resources on this website for yourself as well as for kids. Check out the Activity Checklist or read through our discussion guides and spend some time thinking about what motivates you.
In addition to this, think about what you loved to do as a kid. Did you like learning about dinosaurs? Playing in the dirt? Running as far and as fast as you could? What did you want to be when you grew up? An astronaut? A racecar driver? The things you’ve been interested in since you were young is a great place to start in the search for your spark.
