There's the mystical idea brought in the Gemara, that everyone has a certain mitzvah by which their soul "shines" ("zahir"), a "gateway" mitzva to their avodas Hashem.
For some people it's obvious because they devote their lives to bikur cholim or hachnosas orchim. Some people have a special affinity to a Yom Tov, to a particular mitzva on Shabbos or Yom Tov.
It's not just a mitzva that you enjoy. It's deeper than that. It's something that is very precious to you, that you are moser nefesh for.
Do you have any idea what your gateway mitzva is?
I have no idea what mine is!

Finally I have a few ideas, yay!
I'm hesitating, maybe giving advice, maybe making couples, maybe defending people or things that can't do it themselves.

"defending people and things that can't do it themselves"
Curious - what did you have in mind when you said "things"? The first image that came to my mind was a cute little stuffed animal that is being accused of breaking Grandma's antique vase or something. But I'm sure that is not what you meant?

What I had in mind was for example a Torah commandment, a principle, a country, a city, a tree that some silly kids are throwing stones against...
