Ways To Find Your Purpose In Life

I believe each life we are granted has a purpose.

When you find it, you receive great clarity of purpose and there is a new excitement and enthusiasm that can fill every day of your life.

Your Purpose Is Unique To You

It is one of the ironies of life that your purpose is unique to you. That is why often following the advice of what has worked well for others, no matter how well-meaning or sincere that advice may be, does not usually reveal your life purpose to you.

I often use the words Soul purpose to describe your life purpose. There is a hint in that. When you align with your Soul in identifying your life’s purpose, you receive direction and answers that are uniquely yours. You also see the world from a more holistic perspective that incorporates a wider scope and wisdom than can be seen with the narrow perception of logic.

Follow Your Dreams

For many of us, our Soul purpose is a passionate dream that we have had since childhood. I have heard that dream referred to as our heart’s desire.

Often as a child, there is an unfiltered sense of knowingness about the meaning and the purpose of your life. There is often great wisdom revealed in those childhood dreams.

Sadly, those dreams are all too often ridiculed and demeaned as you grow up. A wide variety of adults, from parents to teachers, all want to guide you based on their life experiences, often letting their fears and limiting beliefs infiltrate the advice being offered without realizing it. Fears, often the fears of well-meaning advisors, can become roadblocks to following the promptings of your heart.

Instead, you need to listen to your heart and look for the guidance you can draw from those limitless childhood dreams and passions to give you a direction to consider.

Listen To Your Higher Self

Calling upon your Soul and listening to the quiet promptings of your intuition, may not be the mainstream way that most people approach this exploration. When we observe around us or read the stories of those who did follow their heart’s desire, even when they had significant obstacles to overcome to fulfill those dreams, we see people living happy and very successful lives.

It seems to me there is a message in that observation. Ponder on this!

Take the time to do some Soul searching and make a list of the things you do for fun, you are passionate about and come by naturally. Notice how you feel about each one. Which one resonates with you and make you light up when you are of service to others.

As you increase the amount of time spent fulfilling your life’s purpose, you’ll notice it’s easier to make decisions in life with your purpose in mind.

To aid you in your call to the wisdom of your Soul and to help you find your own unique path and purpose in the world, there are meditations that can be used.

I Have A Meditation That Can Help With That

As I write these words, I am reminded of a friend of mine recently teasing me about saying,

I have a meditation that can help with that.”
– Genevieve Gerard

That is true because in my experience meditation unlocks the wisdom of your Soul in a way that opens you to new insight and perspective about many things in your life.

Since almost all of the meditations I have ever created were in response to someone’s life challenges, I would love to explore with you how to use the wisdom of your Soul to help you identify your life’s purpose.

This exploration includes a way to open your heart and your mind to the prompting of your Soul, which is often a glimpse of real intuition.

Meditation To Find Purpose In Your Life

To give you a taste of how you can use meditation to tap into your life purpose, try this short example below.

Calm your Mind, Open your Heart and Invite the Light.

The Light of the Soul Descends — Soul Light Descending

As you calm your mind, declare your intention to Touch your Soul with this meditation.

Sitting quietly, open your heart and your mind to the Presence of your Soul and invoke and invite its love and its wisdom to guide and direct your life.

As you call on your Soul it may help to imagine your Soul as a radiating golden-white Light that is about 3-6 feet above your head.

As you call upon your Soul, say this mantra with intention:

I call upon the Light, Love and
Wisdom of my Higher Self
to guide and direct me.

I ask that through my meditation
I will receive clear insight and
understanding of how I can
best fulfill and manifest
the purpose of my life from
where I am in my life, right now,
with what I have in my life, right now.
– GG

Then as you take a deep breath, relax as deeply as you are able.

Open your mind to receiving the thoughts and impressions of your Soul through your mind and through your intuition which is a way your higher mind, which is aligned with your Soul and serves as a messenger of your Soul.

Now taking a deep breath imagine that golden light descending to the top of your head as it fills your mind.

Then, sit quietly and receptively for the next ten minutes, recording in a journal any thoughts, ideas, and impressions. Let the flow be open and spontaneous right now.

Know that later you will have the opportunity to engage your logical mind and consider the ideas and impressions you have received. Right now just record as much as you can without editing or filtering.

When the 10 minutes have passed, then take a deep breath as you bring the Light of Your Soul into your heart and let it rest there, repeating a deep breath and letting your heart be filled with the Light of your Soul and the Love of your Soul.

At this time, take a moment to release any self-criticism and self-judgment.

Let the love and the grace of your Soul permeate your whole begin as you put all that has ever been before you aside. It no longer has power over you.

Right now, the past is over and finished. Let yourself appreciate and enjoy the grace and the freedom of that fact.

Before you is a future of unlimited possibility.

As you conclude this meditation, take a final pause to express your gratitude that your Divine Self is available to guide you. The Light of your Soul will direct you as you go forth into your life with the intention and desire to fulfill the purpose of your life.

– Genevieve Gerard

I encourage you in your quest and wish for you that the rest of your life be the best of your life, as you embark upon the adventure of fulfilling your Soul’s purpose for your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on All That You Do!
