When you are working in line with your life purpose, everything flows naturally. You feel fulfilled, happy and healed. Opportunities present at just the right time, even your finances may improve! It’s often said that even before we are born, we agree a life path that contributes to our spiritual development. This might include karmic lessons, or tasks that enable our soul to grow and progress. If we make a choice to live our earthly life with love at the centre of all we do, we will reach our potential and thrive.
That absolutely doesn’t mean that things will be easy, or painless, in the life we live here and of course we always have free will to make our own decisions, but it does mean that we will find ourselves supported in our troubles by our spiritual family and of course our spirit guides, angels and helpers. If we make a drastically wrong decision, we can still get back on track, so long as we choose to accept responsibility and try again.
What Inspires & Interests You?
If you’re not sure where to start, think about the things that inspire and interest you in daily life. What are you good at? What do your friends and family say they admire about you? Do you love music, writing, the sciences, teaching, building things, travel, communication, growing plants or cooking delicious food, or are you drawn to the idea of healing, crystals, discovering your psychic side? The list is endless, and it doesn’t have to be something that you are already proficient in. Just a feeling that you feel somehow drawn to that area is quite enough to explore more for yourself.
Once you can feel what direction you want to move in, begin with tiny steps. Check in with your intuition, ask for confirmation from your guides, and if you’re on the right track you will find doors opening for you as you move forward. Don’t try to rush things! You will always be at exactly the right place in your journey, precisely where you are meant to be at any given time. Perhaps you may wish to do extra training, read books about your chosen subjects, talk to others who are also working in that sphere and get their perspective, and spend quiet time in meditation to give you peace and support as you move ahead. As each step moves you forward you will gain confidence in your decisions and see a little more clearly why this journey is important to you.
A Clear Picture of your Life Purpose
On the other hand, you may already have a clear picture of your life purpose but are still not sure where to begin. Immersing yourself fully in the feeling of being successful and engaged in your true destiny, waking up looking forward to the day ahead and loving what is happening around you, as if it is your reality right now, will bring you closer to your goals. What you resist, persists, so live every moment in the reality of what you want to achieve and don’t allow the fear of failure or rejection to get in the way. Take those courses, network with others who can encourage you and enjoy the boost of energy as you find your way.
There’s real joy when you find your purpose, and it’s never too late to change or adjust your course if you need to. Neither is it selfish to focus on your own development! Often, circumstances mean that we put the pleasurable tasks to one side while we have to deal with other priorities. It might feel like you have missed your chance, but there’s no mistake in life and no missed opportunity that can’t be rectified and reclaimed when the time is right, and you will likely look back on what seemed to be a distraction from your ambitions, as a learning opportunity and a place where you actually did gain understanding and growth after all.
New People for the Journey
It sometimes happens that friends fall away from us as we move in our own direction, and it’s important to realise that we don’t always have the same people around us for life. Sometimes, we are only meant to walk some of the way together. New people will join your journey, as you will with them, and over time you will gain a greater perspective of events that take you to your next goal.
You might go through a phase where you just feel “stuck,” and see no apparent development. That is completely normal too. During these times, progress is still very much happening under the surface, cementing everything you have achieved so far into a firm base from which to spring forward.
If you feel you’re being asked to make sacrifices, ask yourself if you’re being prompted to let something go that isn’t actually needed on this part of your journey. Dropping whatever no longer serves your highest good may seem painful at first, but it will invariably be replaced by something new. Step out of that comfort zone and continually reassess your needs!
Journal your ‘Life Purpose’ Progress
Keeping a diary or journal of thoughts, feelings, and experiences as you move forward can be really useful in charting your progress. Make it as simple or comprehensive as you like, but it’s always interesting to look back and pinpoint key moments and what they related to, with hindsight. It keeps you on your toes at spotting signs of negativity or despondency too! Those things are definitely not part of the big picture you want to draw for yourself but are feelings to accept and move on from, with optimism and renewed faith in yourself. Remember, your life’s journey is just that, a JOURNEY, and not a race. There are no prizes for finishing first, but your rewards are in the knowledge that you’re doing what you were always meant to do. And that’s worth working for!
