Instead, soul purpose is a broader concept relating to the feeling of fulfillment and meaning in life. It is a unique path and set of gifts that each individual has to offer the world, a kind of "divine calling" and the truest expression of who you are.How can I begin to identify my soul purpose? Identifying your soul purpose is not about finding one specific task, but aligning with your inner self. Begin by understanding your personal needs and what truly makes you happy and fulfilled. Ask yourself what you need in order to be content and when you are the most happy. It also involves reflecting on what frustrates you and what feels draining. Don't compare yourself to others, instead focus on your authentic self. Trust your intuition, pay attention to moments that spark joy, and be open to new experiences. Spiritual practices, such as meditation and journaling can help this process.Why is it important to prioritize my own needs when searching for my soul purpose?Prioritizing your own needs is crucial, and not selfish, when trying to find your soul purpose.
