What is your life’s purpose?

The $1M question for every Quantum Hypnosis Healing session and Akashic reading I’ve done is invariably: “What is my life’s purpose?”

So let’s dive in: below is what the higher consciousness has explained with a couple of considerations on this topic, so you can figure out yours.

1. You don’t have just one purpose. You likely have multiple purposes. Some are meant for some seasons of your life (e.g. raising children), some are promises you made to soul family members (also known as soul contracts), some might be related to a very specific star seed mission, some might be related to a particular frequency you bring.

2. Invariably, the answer the Higher Self has is… “to experience”. To be here. To live it. Feel it. Experience it. Think of this plane of existence as a game…

Yesterday as I was reflecting on the nature of life as a game, I couldn’t help but thinking of Escape Rooms. The first time I went to an Escape Room (not by choice… it was a dear friend’s birthday party) I kept on wondering, but WHY??? why on Earth someone would CHOOSE to do this? for fun? and they paid for this??? And that is exactly how I feel about… well this plane (at times! I still enjoy it). Think of it as your eternal soul, all knowing, all is possible, choosing, for fun, to come here losing all freedom, all memory, with a bunch of friends, trying to figure out, dealing with the emotions of everyone around you, believing how real it is that you are trapped and you must find the exit…

3. Most people will link purpose with a job/career/business. And I think this is one I’ve been reflecting for many years. I simply find it to be wrong.

When I was a kid, I had a few talents: I was really good at piano, writing, art. And all the teachers would see what I could do and instantly insist that was my “calling” and I had to study it and dedicate my whole life and career to either one. Then the time came to choose what to study in college, so in high school, the school psychologist made us take all these tests to determine affinity and abilities and match us with options for us to decide. Well out of the 3 classes (~90 students), only 3 of us didn’t make any decisions. Our tests were inconclusive (“you could be good at anything” was my test result) and I truly didn’t like anything in particular.

Over the years as I had fun with different hobbies, invariably the suggestion to take such hobby into a profession, a business, selling it kept coming up (either be knitting, cooking, writing, whatever it is I like to do for fun and I happen to do reasonably well). And I so strongly believe that you aren’t meant to monetize everything you are good at. We are here to… experience!

Whatever you do as career is just so unimportant. Really. You are here to meet people, to observe different perspectives, to experience what it feels like to forget what you are capable to do. And any labels or identification of who you are with a JOB… is just so limiting. You are so much more than a job. Your worth is not determined by how you make money.

What if instead you reflect on how every interaction you have at work can be meaningful, fun, touching. What if it is simply an opportunity to give and receive love.

I’ll give you two examples from clients that asked this in their Quantum Healing sessions:

Client 1 was a nurse. Her purpose was to heal. “Does she heal as a nurse?”- I asked her higher self – “oh no. She carries a very specific frequency. People just need to be near her and they heal. So she’s at a hospital so she can heal many. But she could be doing anything inside that hospital.”
Client 2 was an engineer. One of his questions was if he should do something more meaningful, more spiritual. The answer was “no, that job brings the flow of abundance into his life. He has plenty of time to do his writing and teaching, he just needs to prioritize”.

So how do you figure out your purpose in life?

First, drop the identification with a job/role/label. You are. You simply are.

Tune in with your heart. Your intuition. Breathe into your heart and feel into what brings you joy. What is interesting?

Play a game: if you had a trust fund, all the freedom in the world, excellent health, no responsibilities. What would you do with your days?

If you must equate it with a career, at least consider the following:

What if the flow of abundance (aka that trust fund feeling) unlocks the moment you throw yourself backwards from that big cliff into the ocean of opportunities? What if abundance ONLY unlocks when you decide to drop the fear of not being able to provide and simply decide to do what your intuition knows that could be really fun and rewarding.

What if whatever job you have right now has nothing to do with living your purpose? what if as you allow yourself to change your perspective, suddenly the job becomes easy, even fun- shall I say-, and the exchanges with other people around you through work become richer and more fulfilling?

Literally any job can become meaningful overnight, as you connect with others from a meaningful perspective.

I was biking around town the other day, when I observed a couple of “poor” people find each other at a parking lot (they seem to know each other from the streets, maybe they collected recyclables). They were so happy to bump into each other and they were hugging and feeling genuinely excited. You can be happy and fulfilled in literally every circumstance. These folks had people they love, and that was abundant.

Lastly, check in with your inner child. What did you use to like doing when you were around 8 years old?

Before you get out of bed in the morning, tune into your inner child and ask them: what would be fun for us to try today? Close your eyes, and I promise a picture – even if faint- will pop in your mind. Do you dare follow the picture? how would your life change?

Something I know for sure: even if I’m amazing at playing the piano and I receive a million compliments on my incredible skill – I find practicing piano everyday tragically boring.

My knits are beautiful, and my sourdough bread will fill your soul. But here I am. Simply here. Simply experiencing. And if one day I realize something I was offering/doing is no longer giving me joy… I simply remove it from my booking calendar… and if something calls me more… I go for it. Just drifting, and floating 🙂

Everything is seemingly meaningless, until you add meaning to it. It is all about your unique perspective, the feelings you experience, and your ability to zoom out of a situation and see it from your soul’s eternal perspective.

And if you haven’t yet found your purpose and you need a definite answer, go with this one for now: To Love and to Experience Feeling Loved ❤️.

Oh wow, I love how you put this regarding ‘purpose’. We are Infinite Beings-soul sparks.
we had to hide our infinite power when we came to this world. We didn’t lose it.
We just gave ourselves “temporary amnesia” so we could have an intense, convincing experience if we chose or not.
