If you happen to be reading this, you might be feeling that nagging sensation that life has much more to offer than what you're currently perceiving. You could be successful on paper but feel empty inside; alternatively, you could be suffering from that endless transition, wondering what the next chapter should be. Being a teacher of soul purpose work, I want to share with you why hiring a coach may be one of the most important investments you ever make in yourself.
Your soul's purpose is nothing other than the unique contribution supposed to come forth into this world in which you find yourself. It is where natural gifts, deepest values, and the realizations of great joy converge. Unlike a career goal or life achievement that feels somewhat egocentric, soul purpose connects you to something greater than your ego and gives meaning to how you spend your days.
People often confuse their life purpose with their vocation, but the reality is that the two might not always line up. Your life purpose can find expression through your work, but it can also find expression through relationships, artistic endeavors, community service, or even how you interact with whoever you meet in everyday life.
What I have learned is that every single person has a soul purpose; the majority of people just require assistance in its discovery, beneath the pressure, fear, and rules that society has piled over the years.
Life purpose coaching is different from therapy and business coaching. Where therapy helps to heal wounds from the past, business coaching more straightforwardly focuses on event attainment. However, life purpose coaching reveals the authentic self and higher purpose.
A qualified coach will have all the knowledge and tools needed to help you access the inner wisdom to put user patterns about your purpose in life in the context of your one-off mission.
This may include values assessments, exploring your natural talents, examining peak experiences, and identifying what energizes versus drains you. A study on the subject also combines the inner work and practical application.
There will also be some reflection and self-discovery on your part, as well as actions you can take to live more in congruence with your discoveries about yourself. Many people ask how they can find out their soul-purposed entitlement, so that it requires some revolutionary upheaval in their lives. However, discovering your life mission usually starts with little changes, awareness, and daily choices that honor your true self in it.
Perhaps your soul purpose remains grounded in skills and interests you already possess, or perhaps it is drawing you toward something entirely new. Remaining open to what reveals itself and trusting the process is the key. A knowledgeable coach will accompany you through this discovery process without pressuring you into making radical changes right away.
The meaning of aligning with a higher purpose is a transformation, much more than the satisfaction gained from it. When you are aligned with a life mission, energy, clarity, and motivation gush through you. Thus, your decision-making ability takes a different turn now because it finds itself being filtered through values that really are yours instead of under pressure from the environment around you.
You will improve your relationships by showing yourself. Your job will gain meaning, whether you're doing the same thing but from a fresh point of view or have adopted a different path altogether. You'll start learning to have faith in yourself and follow your intuition.
Perhaps even more importantly, you will start seeing how your unique talents can serve an enterprise larger than yourself. This connection to the higher purpose gives you meaning to ride through the hurdles.
Misunderstanding about the process of soul purpose has made many people keep away from seeking assistance. While some think it means giving up one's security in finance or that one makes choices which he or she will fail to manage, or some believe it would mean dramatic changes in their otherwise boring personality, or drastic beliefs which they don't hold anymore.
In reality, conscious living and purposeful choices most often enhance, not deplete, other areas of life. Being attuned to the true self is almost always associated with improved performance at work, better relationships, and greater ability to cope with challenges whenever they arise.
Someone else's life mission may not match what you expect yours to be. It may be putting your current talents to new tests, beginning a side hustle that will nurture your soul, or just adding a little more intention and presence to the things you're already handling.
Hiring a coach is an investment in your future self. Like all significant changes, it takes time, energy, and dollars. Try on that cost against the cost of staying unconnected to your authentic self and continuing to live someone else's version of success.
The process of personal transformation through coaching usually takes months to manifest. There is time for reflection, experimentation, and sustainable change in this timeline.
If you have been feeling the tug in your spirit to delve deeply into your soul's purpose, then follow that instinct. Your inner wisdom is already pointing you toward what you need to be pointed toward. The question is not whether you have a meaningful contribution to make, because you do. The only question is, are you ready to discover what that looks like and start living it?
A qualified coach can provide structure, accountability, and expertise through this important journey. There is no figuring it all out on your own, nor is it necessary to have everything clear before you can take a step.
