- Ā [ Despite their best intentions, sometimes women find themselves not truly living their deepest values and find there is a gap in their lives between how they are and who theyād like to be. This can occur for many reasonsāone of which being often women donāt feel successful in their roles of mother or wife and because they donāt know how to solve the problem, they focus on what they already feel successful in which creates an even wider gap. Or they can find that popular culture, ideas, or even friendship circles make it more challenging for them to remain consistent with living their values. The purpose of creating a life mission is to develop an overall focus so that one life feels integrated and harmonious. At the end of the process women will insha Allah have more clarity on what is actually important to them, and how to be true to that.]Ā
