Subtle Signs You’re on the Right Path (Even If You’re Doubting)

Everyone else seems to have it all figured out — their perfect morning routines, their crystal-clear five-year plans, their perfectly curated lives.

Meanwhile, you’re here wondering if you’re even moving in the right direction. But here’s the thing: the universe is quietly showing you where you need to be… if you just know where to look.

Understanding some specific, intentional signs you’re on the right path can help quiet those moments of doubt. They’re powerful personal growth indicators that can remind you on your artistic journey that you’re doing this all for a greater purpose.

Subtle Daily Signs You’re on the Right Path (Even If You’re Doubting)

You’ve Been Following Your 6-Month Plan

Remember that plan you sketched out six months ago? The one that felt both exciting and terrifying?

Here’s what most people won’t tell you: success isn’t about following that plan to the letter. The essence of creativity lies in movement. Standing still is merely dreaming — it’s your forward motion that transforms those dreams into destiny.

That’s why I neverrrrr make plans more than 6 months ahead of time! Because, yes, making goals is about having something to work towards. But it’s also about having the freedom and flexibility to adapt when the universe collaborates with you.

Your ability to adjust your plan – rather than abandon it entirely when things get tough – shows emotional intelligence and resilience.

It’s actually a sign of growth when you can look at your original goals and think, “This needs tweaking because I’ve learned more about myself and what I really want!”

You’ve Been Consistent About Creating (Even If It’s Less Than You’ve Wanted)

Consistency is better than amount at first – it’s okay if you haven’t created as much as you want to, as long as you’ve been allowing yourself to have a flow. Think about it: writing one paragraph every day matters more than writing ten pages once a month. Those small, consistent actions are rewiring your brain, creating new neural pathways that make creativity your default state.

When you show up for yourself and your craft, even if it’s just for 15 minutes, you’re building something powerful: trust in yourself. Each time you honor that creative commitment, you’re telling your subconscious, “I keep my promises to myself.” That’s worth more than any burst of inconsistent productivity.

It’s an absolutely magical feeling when you can look back at your “perfect” dreams and path that has changed and whisper to yourself, “my heart has grown in new directions… and that’s what’s really perfect.”

Your Inner Child Still Believes in Magic

That flutter of excitement when you dream about what’s possible isn’t naive is deeply wise.

Like the first spring flower knowing exactly when to bloom, there’s an innate wisdom in maintaining hope and excitement while you’re facing reality.

Your creative inner child hasn’t forgotten how to dream big, and that’s a superpower! I’m sure you’ve met people who are absolutely jaded with their lives — nothing delights them anymore.

They’re unphased by people, places, and things, so they chase, chase and chase to try to find something more. 

When you can feel butterflies of excitement about your artistic path ahead — even while knowing there will be challenges along the way — there’s a deep wisdom coming from your inner creative.

The same wisdom that children innately have. They’re unafraid to be moved.

You Romanticize the Little Things

Finding magic in Monday morning coffee or feeling grateful for the way sunlight streams through your window is a revolutionary thing.

There are so many people going through the motions and fixated on the destination and not enjoying the journey.

You’re also building a muscle of enjoying the journey — so that when you do reach those girls, you’re not overlooking them. You’re fully basking in their beauty, because you worked for them!

This ability to find joy in small moments means you’re truly present in your life. You’re not just rushing toward the next big achievement; you’re actually living.

And guess what? This mindset makes achieving those bigger dreams (and your day-to-day life) so much sweeter. 🍬

Sometimes understanding signs you’re not on the right path can be just as valuable as recognizing when you are. Read this if you’re feeling unfulfilled — I hope it helps just like a nourishing meal would. 🍜

Your Inner Compass is Getting Louder

Are you noticing how you’re starting to pause before saying yes to things that don’t feel right? Your artist intuition has entered the chat, and she loves to talk because you’re finally listening!

Your gut instinct is your subconscious processing years of experience and pattern recognition in milliseconds. They’re universe signs and symbols, and learning to read universe signs and symbols becomes second nature as you develop trust in your intuition. The more you trust these internal nudges, the stronger they become.

You Feel More Grounded In Your Point of View

Having a strong point of view while staying open to new perspectives is a delicate balance — and you’re finding it! (It’s also integral to being an artist in general, so it’s good practice!)

You’re no longer swaying with every new opinion or trend that comes your way (I was so like this up until around college). Instead, you’re developing a foundation of beliefs that feels authentically yours.

Now, this groundedness doesn’t mean becoming rigid. Rather, it’s about having the confidence to say, “This is my perspective, and like everyone else, I’m doing the best I can with the information I have right now.” The balance comes with holding your truth while remaining curious about others’ perspectives. (Easier said than done, I know!)

You Notice Meaningful Coincidences

Those moments when exactly what you need appears at the perfect time is not a coincidence. The person calls or texts you right when you are thinking of them. Someone says the same phrase you’ve been thinking about for the past month.

The most powerful signs you’re on the right path are often subtle, quiet, and beg for you to take a moment to stop and think.

When you start noticing these spiritual signs you’re on the right path, like meaningful coincidences and intuitive nudges, you’re experiencing a deeper connection with the universe as you both collaboratively work on shaping your beautiful journey.

Your Heart’s Definition of Success Has Shifted

Remember when success meant hitting specific external markers?

They still can — but you can also add to those markers. Maybe success looks like feeling peaceful at the end of the day. Sleeping through the whole night. Being proud of how you handled a difficult conversation. Staying true to your values when it would’ve been easier not to. Going to therapy. Cleaning your house.

Many of these changes in perspective are actually spiritual awakening signs, indicating a deeper transformation in how you view yourself and the world.

This shift from external to internal metrics is hugeeeee. It means you’re no longer letting others define your worth or happiness. You’re creating your own divinely unique standards, based on what truly matters to you. That, my friend, is a fantastic path to walk.
