Redefine Your Mission

It’s time to get serious about your mission and your driving purpose. Think of this as your personal promise to yourself, a compass that’ll guide you when the road feels rough. We talked about purpose in Chapter 1, but now we’re leveling up. Your mission is where that purpose takes shape, turning it into something concrete, inspiring, and uniquely yours.

You need to take charge of your life, own your story, and build a future that feels amazing. Your mission is the spark that keeps you moving, even when it’s easier to quit. It’s the thing you’ll look back on in tough moments and say, “This is why I started, and this is why I’m going to keep going.”

Redefine Your Mission

Here’s the deal: without a mission, you’re just winging it. But when you have a clear vision of where you’re going and why it matters, everything changes. A strong mission:

• Keeps you focused when life throws you curveballs.
• Reminds you of what you’re driving toward—the deeper reasons behind your journey.
• Builds momentum by giving you something real to work toward.

Are you ready to step into a version of yourself you’ve always dreamed of—more confident, energized, and free to live life on your terms.

How to Craft Your Mission

Here’s where the magic happens. Let’s break it down step by step:

• Vision

Picture it: What does your life look like when you hit your goals? This isn’t just about the number on the scale, it’s about how you feel. Do you have the energy to chase your kids around? The confidence to walk into a room and own it? The freedom to do things you thought were out of reach? Your vision is your North Star, the light that guides you through even the toughest days.

• Strategy

A mission without a plan is just wishful thinking. What’s your game plan? What habits will you build? What small, daily wins will get you closer to your big goal?

• Core Values

These are your non-negotiables, the foundation of everything you’re working toward. Why is this journey important to you? Is it about being present for your family? Feeling strong and capable? Living longer and healthier? Your values will keep you grounded and remind you of what’s at stake when the going gets tough.

Now it’s your turn. This is where you put it all together:

• Skills and Abilities: What strengths will help you succeed? Are you organized, determined, or great at finding creative solutions? Use those superpowers.
• Personality Traits: Are you someone who thrives with structure, or do you need flexibility? Tailor your mission to fit you.
• Core Values, Dreams, and Passions: What drives you? What lights a fire in you to keep going, even when it’s hard?

 

Here’s the formula:
“My mission is to [your vision], and I will achieve this by [accountability plan].”

Keep It Real, Keep It Visible
Your mission statement doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to mean something to you. Keep it short, powerful, and action-oriented. Stick it where you’ll see it every day—on your mirror, your fridge, or your phone. Let it become your daily reminder of why you’re doing this.

And here’s the best part: your mission isn’t set in stone. As you grow and hit new milestones, your mission can evolve with you. Keep revisiting it, tweaking it, and making sure it still lights a fire in you.

Examples to Spark Inspiration
“My mission is to reclaim my health by prioritizing movement, balanced nutrition, and rest because I value strength, self-care, and the energy to live fully.”

“My mission is to feel strong and energized by committing to daily exercise and positive habits because I believe in the power of self-growth and resilience.”

“My mission is to be present, active, and healthy by setting boundaries and practicing mindfulness because I value quality time with my family and living with intention.”

This mission is your anchor. It’s your guiding force when doubt creeps in or life gets messy. Take the time to make it yours—you’re building something incredible here. Next up, we’ll dive into crafting your mantra—your go-to, everyday dose of motivation to stay connected to your mission.

• Step 1

  On your workbook page 56, Write down the 5 core values you circled or wrote down earlier in the lesson.

• Step 2

  Think about what you want to accomplish in life. What problem do you want to solve or what impact do you want to make? What defines your mission?
  Fill In The Blank.

  “My Mission is _____________”

• Step 3

  Write down and outline one or two key actions you will or can take to achieve your mission.

• Step 4

  Decide how you will hold yourself accountable to your mission. Is this with another person? A reward system? Think through how you can best keep yourself accountable to your mission.

• Step 5: Write Your Mission Statement

  Combine your mission and action plan from steps 2 and 4 into a concise statement that guides your life in the direction you want to go. Be sure to make sure your mission statement does not go against any of your core values.

NOTE: Your mission statement should look something like this.

“My mission is to ________________________________________, and I will achieve this by ________________________________________.”
