Lighting Up Your Life: What Sets Your Soul on Fire?

When you think of Independence Day, you probably picture fireworks painting the night sky in bursts of color, energy, and awe. Each spark is a reminder that light can shatter darkness—and that freedom deserves to be celebrated in vivid, unforgettable ways.

But you don’t have to wait for a holiday to experience that same brilliance in your own life. Inside you is a spark that’s always waiting to ignite: your passions, your dreams, your purpose.

Too often, we spend years dimming our own light—shrinking ourselves to fit other people’s expectations, staying silent to avoid conflict, or believing the lie that we don’t deserve joy. Over time, we forget what it even feels like to be lit up from within.

Today, I want you to ask yourself:

What sets your soul on fire?

What activities make you lose track of time?
What dreams have you tucked away because they felt “unrealistic”?
What makes you feel most alive, free, and authentically you?

You deserve to explore those questions—not someday, but now. Because the truth is, every single person deserves to live their best life—a life that feels expansive, vibrant, and true. You deserve to feel that spark every day, not just on special occasions.

If you’ve spent years in survival mode, it can feel overwhelming to reconnect with your passions. Start small. Maybe it’s trying a new hobby, scheduling time alone, or letting yourself dream without judgment. Maybe it’s as simple as declaring: I am worthy of joy.

This Independence Day, let the fireworks remind you of your own brilliance. You are allowed to shine. You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to live a life that lights you up from the inside out.

So tell me—what sets your soul on fire?

And how will you honor that spark, today and every day?
