In this episode, I talk about how to keep your passion alive and stay focused on your purpose without burning out. I’ll share some of the key habits that have helped me fuel my fire and keep moving toward my goals with intention.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Intention: I’ve learned that staying on fire for my dreams isn’t about chance—it’s about building intentional habits that keep me energized and moving forward. It’s not always easy, but with the right mindset, I’ve found it’s the key to lasting momentum.
• The EMIT Principle: In my journey, I discovered the EMIT Principle: Education × Motivation × Inspiration = Transformation. This simple formula has been my guide to sustaining my fire over time. It’s like consistency in the gym—it’s not just about working hard, but about building the habits that support my purpose.

Three Habits to Keep Your Flame Alive:

1) Reflection: I’ve learned that taking time to pause and reflect regularly helps me refine my fuel and stay focused on what’s working.

2) Focus: I’ve found that when I start my day with clarity—whether it’s through planning, prayer, or just a few minutes of stillness—I can avoid distractions and do what matters most.

3) Recharge: I used to push myself non-stop, but I’ve realized that even the strongest flames need rest. Self-care is crucial, and I’ve made it a priority to recharge my body intentionally and mind to keep my energy levels up.

I challenge you to start by taking just five minutes each day this week to reflect and ask yourself: What is fueling my fire right now?
