Soul Purpose Meaning
Soul purpose means your soul mission, the real reason why you’ve incarnated on this planet. You didn’t come here on planet Earth to spend the rest of your life doing accounting. And you didn’t come here to get a master’s degree or become a CEO.
Your soul incarnated on this planet with a soulful purpose. We all have a purpose which calls us towards it no matter how hard we try to ignore it.
Don’t get me wrong. There’s nothing wrong with the different roles we play in society or getting a master’s degree. If you’re a CEO or an accountant, that’s totally fine if it is aligned with who you really are.
But it’s important to distinguish the difference between souls purpose and an occupation or professional roles.
People tend to define themselves with a specific role they play in society. Most often this tends to be their profession. As a result, many people end up having an identity crisis at some point in their life.
If you mistaken your soul’s purpose for your job title, what happens if you get fired?
What if you feel like you want to change your job as you no longer enjoy it?
How will you feel when it’s time to retire?

Soul Purpose vs Career Path
If the purpose of the soul is not the same as our professional role, what is it?
Most people find it difficult to become aware of their soul purpose. I was one of them as I was too distracted with my busy schedule and always trying to please others.
When you become aware of your soul’s purpose you realize how obvious it was. Yet somehow you couldn’t see it. There are many variables that could be blocking you from finding your soulful purpose.
One of the most common ones is the association that we have with the term ‘souls purpose’.
You might have felt a calling towards something in particular. Your brain immediately tries to think of a job or an occupation that is close to your soul purpose and it blocks you from bringing it to life.
Fulfilling the purpose of the soul doesn’t work like that. This is not the same as wanting to work as a doctor so you study medicine.
Your career path and your work is something that you do. (Doing)
Your soulful purpose is about being who you really are. (Being)
You can bring your soul purpose to life through your career or your work. But the job itself is not the purpose.
It’s the intention behind what you are doing and what you want to achieve through your work. The WHY behind the WHAT.

The Purpose of the Soul
Ever heard of the phrase body, mind, and soul? That’s because we are multidimensional beings.
Apart from our physical body and our mind, we also have a soul, our spirit. Spirit is the life force energy that keeps you alive. Your soul is your true essence, that which is eternal.
According to the law of conservation of energy in physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only change form.
Your soul is that energy within you that continues after your physical form deteriorates. Our souls carry an infinite intelligence as it is connected to the Divine, to Source Consciousness.
You can call it God, Allah, Creator, Universe, the label doesn’t really matter, they all refer to the same entity.
The purpose of the soul that took shape in your current physical form is to expand, to grow, and to transcend to higher vibrations. As your transcend into higher frequencies, you raise the planet’s consciousness and vibration.
This is the purpose of all souls – to raise our planet’s consciousness in our own unique beautiful way.
There are many ways of how we can find our soul purpose and bring it to life to raise our vibration. But that’s a whole other topic which I will cover in another article.
Closing Thoughts
One of the biggest regrets that people have on their death-bed is the realization that they wasted their time focusing on the wrong things, and not on what truly mattered to them.
If you want to create a fulfilling life with purpose and fulfillment, living in alignment with your soul purpose is essential.
Finding your soul purpose and bringing to life is a delicate process which requires self-awareness, grace, acceptance, and non-resistance.
