As an adult, you are free to chart your own course in life and choose who you want to be. Yet do you genuinely know that you are free to live a life that satisfies your soul and brings you a deep sense of purpose? Are you more committed to doing what you believe you ‘have to do’ or are ‘supposed to do’ or following the call of your heart? If your head and your heart are at odds, that tug-of-war can play havoc with your emotions and leave you feeling spent. At which point, you may feel too tired or uninspired to do much of anything.


It’s important to remember that when you’re moving in a positive direction, your emotions will be buoyant, and your energy will harmonize with the natural flow of life and your soul’s call to adventure. The key is to stay in touch with your feelings, as they act as a reliable barometer indicating the quality of your thoughts. If your thoughts are expansive, they steer you towards love, joy, individuality, and freedom – the course of True North. Using your deepest feelings as your inner compass is crucial for aligning with your soul's purpose and living an inspired life.


Searching for Clues to Your Soul's Purpose


Answering the questions below will reveal 5 clues to discover your soul’s purpose and live an inspired life.


What Are You Here to Learn? 


You have come into this life to claim more of your True Self and master your life’s lessons. Although there are many lessons to learn, one primary lesson highlights your life focus and soul’s purpose. By working with these lessons, you can discover the power and beauty of your essence and awaken more of your noble character. Whether you are here to master qualities such as loyalty, courage, compassion, truth, authority, humility, or integrity, choosing that exalted path allows you to honor your soul and fuel your spirit.

By having the courage to look beyond your physical identity and embrace your true essence, you can become a beacon of light and a conduit of love, helping to uplift, inspire, and heal the world around you. Whether you choose to be an architect, therapist, banker, engineer, lawyer, or doctor, it’s not what you do that counts, but the intention and feelings behind your actions.


What Are You Passionate About? 


If something sparks your passion, it’s a clue to your path. Passion comes from the heart and connects you with love and joy. Creating from this state connects you to your soul and brings great rewards. Following what inspires your curiosity and desire to learn keeps you on track. Love for anything in this world brings you closer to joy and your soul.

The key is to be all you can be, without letting others restrict you. Allow yourself space for self-expression to awaken your spirit. Aligning with your soul’s purpose leads to growth. If you’re unsure of your direction, look deeper for answers. Fear and doubt cause confusion and limit your view of what’s possible. Living to avoid disappointment, criticism, or failure stifles your passion and leads to mediocrity.


What Are You Naturally Good At? 


Your talents are gifts that can help you create a wonderful life. Consider them carefully and cherish them. Whether you’re a gifted artist, musician, cook, gardener, caretaker, inventor, strategist, teacher, healer, or performer, nurture and use your talents. Honor your individual merits; they are part of your soul.

Your internal resources provide what you need to create a life you love that aligns with your soul’s purpose. Focus on what brings you joy, steering you toward optimal futures and graceful creation. This path, your True North, enables maximum benefits with minimal energy expenditure.


When you surrender to the flow of life, moving into ‘the zone’ of love, joy, individuality, and freedom, you attract synchronistic events that aid swift progress. Gratitude throughout the creative process can lead to exponential growth.


What Do People Compliment You On? 


Your identity in the world reflects your unique talents and creativity, serving as your calling card to the world. Creativity isn’t just about artistic expression; it also involves creating meaningful new ideas, methods, or interpretations. When you are absorbed in any creative pursuit, you engage with your soul and spirit, operating in the heart of the zone. Your structured identity fades, allowing you to present more of your True Self and enabling your soul to express itself freely.


You came into this world with the attributes needed to support you as a fully expressed, whole individual. You were born with a seed of genius and a touch of greatness, ready to be cultivated with wisdom, patience, persistence, and a willingness to be wrong in the pursuit of what is right, beautiful, or true. Genius isn’t about having a high IQ or striving for perfection. It awakens through dreaming, visioning, and shifting your perspective on who you are and what’s possible.


What Are Your Aspirational Dreams? 


Dreaming and visioning are essential to discovering your true purpose. Exploring your imagination and believing in the power of possibility support your hopes and aspirations. Entering a receptive state of wonder and innocence is the way to follow the call of your heart and uncover the power and beauty of your soul.


Most dreams fulfill your desires, needs, and preferences. However, aspirational dreams represent your highest hopes and ideals, requiring effort, dedication, and commitment to attain. These dreams highlight your uniqueness and provide a platform for you to experience love, joy, and freedom while considering the greater good of all. They go beyond mere wishes, involving a vision of a better future and a higher state of being. The fabric of these dreams is luminous because they guide you, teach you about yourself, and support your soul’s purpose. They reveal more of who you truly are, playing an integral part in your evolution.


Your aspirational dreams serve as a platform for you to express your strengths and talents, allowing you to grow in love and joy. These dreams are your special creation, and you have the option to share them as a gift to the world. Embrace your dreams and purpose with courage and commitment, and watch as they transform not only your life but also the lives of those around you.
