If You Don’t Know What to Pursue in Life, Pursue Yourself First



 Pursue Yourself First:
The Path to Clarity Begins with Becoming Your Best Self.



Feeling lost or unsure about what direction to take in life? You’re not alone. It’s common to feel stuck when you don’t know exactly what your next step should be—whether in your career, relationships, or personal goals. But here’s a little secret: if you’re unsure what to pursue, pursue yourself first.

What does that mean? It means focusing on becoming the best version of you—the healthiest, happiest, most confident, and present version of yourself. When you prioritize self-growth and healing, everything else will start to fall into place, and the right path will naturally reveal itself.

Step One: Pursue Your Health

Before chasing external goals, start with your health—both physical and mental. You can’t pour from an empty cup, right? So take the time to invest in your well-being. Whether it's by eating nutritious meals, working out regularly, or taking time to rest, prioritize your health. Don’t forget about your mental health, either. Meditation, therapy, or simply taking breaks to recharge your mind can work wonders for your clarity and happiness.

When you feel strong physically and mentally, you’re in a much better position to tackle life’s challenges and see new opportunities.

Step Two: Pursue Your Happiness

Now that you’re working on your health, it’s time to prioritize your happiness. What makes you truly happy? Forget about what society says you should be doing and ask yourself what lights you up inside. Is it spending time with loved ones? Exploring a creative hobby? Traveling? Whatever it is, make time for it.

Happiness isn’t something that magically appears once you hit a certain goal—it’s something you cultivate in your daily life. And when you’re genuinely happy, you attract positive energy and open up new doors of opportunity.

Step Three: Pursue Your Healing

We all have past experiences or emotional wounds that can hold us back if left unresolved. Pursue healing by working through whatever has been weighing you down. This could mean forgiving yourself for past mistakes, letting go of toxic relationships, or finally facing the things you’ve been avoiding.

Healing isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. Once you start healing, you’ll notice a sense of peace and lightness that will help you focus on what truly matters.

Step Four: Pursue Confidence and Presence

The more you invest in your health, happiness, and healing, the more confident and present you’ll become. Confidence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about knowing that you’re doing your best and growing every day. And being present means appreciating the here and now instead of stressing over the future.

When you feel confident and grounded in the present moment, you’ll be ready for whatever life throws your way. You’ll start seeing opportunities you didn’t notice before, and the right path will begin to reveal itself.

Trust the Process

Here’s the truth: you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. Life isn’t a race, and it’s okay to not know what you want to pursue at this very moment. Focus on pursuing yourself first, and trust that everything else will fall into place.

When you take the time to become the healthiest, happiest, most healed, and most confident version of yourself, you’ll find that the right path comes into view naturally. You won’t have to force it or chase it—it will just click. And when it does, you’ll be ready for it.

So if you’re feeling lost or confused about what to do next in life, remember this: pursue yourself first, and the rest will follow.

Breaking the Pattern: When Love Becomes a Loop You Can't Ignore

 A journey of self-awareness, emotional detachment, and reclaiming the love we were always worthy of. There comes a point when the cycle becomes too obvious to ignore—when the pain hits the same nerve one too many times, and you’re finally forced to admit: This is a pattern. It took me years to see it. Every connection felt different at first—intense, magnetic, comforting in ways I didn’t know I was still aching for. But looking back, they all had one thing in common: the same emotional unavailability, the same taboo attachment, the same ending that left me questioning my worth. Last year, I made a quiet decision. I was tired of rewriting the same heartbreak in new handwriting. I needed to break the pattern, even if it felt like ripping away a part of myself. And it wasn’t easy. Letting go never is, especially when the connection feels like the only place where you felt seen, supported, even loved—though deep down, you know it’s an illusion. That “love” was never yours to begin wit...

When Imagination Spoke Louder Than Knowledge

  A dream, a quote, and an embroidery thread that changed my perspective. The other day, I was doing what we all do from time to time—stalking someone’s Twitter account (don’t judge me, okay 😅). While scrolling, I stumbled upon this quote: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Albert Einstein And for the first time in a long time, my inner monologue went quiet. I wasn’t just reading the words—I was feeling them. Something about that sentence pulled me in, as if it knew it had a message for me. I stared at it longer than I usually do with quotes. I kept wondering, How can imagination possibly be more important than knowledge? Aren’t we taught to study, learn, and gather facts first? But this time, I didn’t just move on. I let the question linger in me like a gentle whisper that wouldn't go away. That night, the thought followed me into my dreams. I dreamt I was showing someone my embroidery work—pieces I’ve been working on for a while. I remember telling her, “It’s...

A TV Show Reminded Me Who I Am

 Revisiting old comfort shows helped me stop chasing someone else's happiness and start embracing my own. “This was once a dream—now it’s my reality. A desk full of color, creativity, and comfort.” A few days ago, I went back to watching Sam and Cat —yes, that Nickelodeon show from way back. At first, it was just a random nostalgic choice. But what happened next caught me off guard. Suddenly, I was there again—back in that simpler time, listening to the music I loved, thinking about the movies and books I used to enjoy, even remembering the apps I would spend hours on. And for a moment, I forgot about the worries I carry now. I just enjoyed the show for what it was: silly, loud, funny—and incredibly comforting. The Unexpected Power of Nostalgia That small act of revisiting the past gave me a strange but warm sense of peace. It was like a pause button for my current self, a reminder that not everything has to be so heavy. More than anything, it made me reflect on how far I've c...
