Is Your Mission on Life Support? It’s Time to Revive Your Inner Fire

Let’s get real for a moment. Have you ever felt that deep, burning desire to be on a mission? 

I’m talking about that powerful pull towards something that lights your soul on fire, where every fiber of your being screams, "This is it!" 

You know that feeling, right? It’s like striking a match and watching it ignite—there’s a sense of purpose, of connection to something bigger than yourself. But what happens when that match doesn’t light? When the fire doesn’t burn as brightly as it used to? I’ve been there, and it can be a pretty dark place.

Here’s the truth: The fire never goes out completely. It just needs to be reignited. And that’s what we’re going to do today.

Rediscovering Your True Desire

If there’s one thing I know, it’s that most people don’t even know what they really want. They think they do, but they’ve buried their true desires under layers of ‘shoulds’ and expectations.

So let me ask you: What do you really want? Not what you think you should want, but what lights you up inside? I’ve had clients come to me, lost and unsure, yet knowing they want something more. They’ve been stuck in the ordinary, yearning for an extraordinary life.

One client said to me, “Rita, I’ve always wanted to explore the world, meet new people, immerse myself in different cultures.” She wasn’t just talking about taking a vacation—she wanted to break out of her comfort zone and embrace the unknown. 

Another client shared, “I want to make a difference in people’s lives. I want to create something that outlasts me.” 

And another simply wanted balance—“I want to pursue my passions without sacrificing my well-being.”

These desires aren’t just wishes. They’re the fuel for your mission. They’re the embers waiting to become a roaring fire.

Reigniting the Spark

Let’s face it: Life can dull your spark. But that doesn’t mean the fire is out. It just means it’s time to go back to what originally set your soul on fire. Do you know what your zone of genius is? This is a powerful part of this work ! Here is what you need to know.

What were you passionate about before the world told you to be realistic? What made you feel truly alive?

Reigniting your spark isn’t about doing more. It’s about connecting with what truly matters to you. It’s about stripping away the noise and getting back to the essence of what drives you. Sometimes, that means asking yourself the tough questions and confronting some uncomfortable truths. But here’s the kicker: It’s always worth it.

Purpose, Enjoyment, and the Power of Small Wins

A mission without enjoyment is a recipe for burnout. 

You can’t just grind your way to fulfillment—it doesn’t work like that. Fulfillment is the way. You’ve got to find joy in the process. You’ve got to savor the small wins, the micro-steps that make up the journey. Because when you enjoy what you’re doing, when each step brings a sense of satisfaction, that’s when the fire really starts to burn.

You see, your mission has to be meaningful, but it also has to be fun. That’s the sweet spot. And when you hit it, everything changes.

Who Do You Need to Become?

Knowing what you want is just the beginning. 

The real question is: Who do you need to become to make it happen? 

This is where most people get stuck. They think setting the goal is enough, but it’s not. You’ve got to evolve into the person who can achieve it. You’ve got to step into your future self now, today.

If you’ve been setting the same goals year after year and not hitting them, chances are you’re standing in your own way. So let’s get out of your own way. Let’s do the work to become who you need to be to live the life you desire.

Embrace Your Mission

Your mission isn’t just a destination—it’s a way of life. 

It’s about living with meaning, finding joy in the process, and becoming the person you were always meant to be. It’s about reigniting that fire within you and letting it guide you toward something greater.

So here’s what I want you to do: 

• Take a moment to reflect on what you really want. Write it down. 
• Get crystal clear. Then, ask yourself, “Who do I need to become to make this a reality?” 
• And when you’ve got that answer, start taking action—no matter how small.

This is your life. This is your mission. It’s time to reignite the fire within and start living it fully.

Love,

Rita
