Soul intentions are why you incarnate
Soul intentions shape your purpose. These are agreements you made before incarnating—your soul’s agenda. They include dharma, karma, and promises to yourself and others. You’ll know your purpose through the deep desires that call you. Notice what resonates most; it points to why you are here.
Your soul’s purpose isn’t about material achievement or ego. It’s about sharing, giving, and receiving love, and being fully present. Life’s purpose is ultimately to learn to give and receive love.
Your purpose isn’t necessarily tied to a career; it may not be about making lots of money or being famous—at least, not for most of you. Maybe your life purpose is to make money, or maybe it will result in making money, but don’t assume that making a buck is your soul’s primary purpose for being in a physical vehicle. Rather than focusing on which vocation will make you the most money, focus on creating a life that gives you joy and gives you a forum to be of service. If you allow logic to overrule your heart’s desires, you will miss the boat.
Your soul seeks to be fully present and engaged. Whatever drives you to be involved and present is likely a part of your life purpose. By being present in your life and following what calls you, you fulfill your purpose.
State your intentions to connect to your Soul’s purpose:
I am now connecting with my soul’s purpose. I am worthy of it. Without me, my soul cannot execute or complete its plan. By expressing my soul’s purpose, I bring great clarity and joy to myself and others. By expressing my soul’s purpose, I support the continued unfolding of my soul’s plan. By expressing my soul’s purpose, I support the ongoing unfolding of all creation. I now allow my soul’s purpose to come forth and call me to live it.

How to connect to your calling
Believe that you can create what you need. When you let go of things that aren’t yours to do, what you are here to do becomes much clearer. Here are some practices to help you let go of behaviors that lead you to take on responsibilities and obligations that aren’t truly yours:
-
- Get back inside your own truth. This will reconnect you to your center.
- Re-engage your creativity.
- Do the activities that bring you joy and pleasure.
- Connect with people who truly see and value you.
- Take breaks and rest!
- Have genuine, innocent fun.
- Reconnect with what is beautiful to you.
- Engage the rich world of your imagination.
- Remember that you are truly resilient.
- You are lovable and deserve to be loved.
- You do have the power to call in and create the right life for yourself.
- Remember that you have a track record of courage and making the right decisions, no matter how hard it was.
- You have a unique wisdom, built brick by brick from your life experience, that you can share.
- Trust yourself to act in your best interests.
- Strive to be real, that is, authentic to yourself and to others.
- Value yourself. Understand that the time you have is precious and needed for your evolution and joy, as well as for others.
- Get to know and respect your energy capacity, and learn to work with it sustainably.
When you apply these actions, what belongs to you will remain, and what does not belong to you will fall away. In this way, your purpose and calling can emerge freely. The gifts and challenges of your journey, along with the hard-won insights and knowledge you have acquired, are too precious, too necessary, and too much fun to be buried or set aside by energy-consuming false callings (including wrongly assumed responsibilities) that distract from and are not aligned with your authentic nature or purpose.
You have to fulfill your calling. That doesn’t mean you become selfish and unavailable. When you act with integrity and faithfulness to your purpose, your responsibilities to others become much clearer.

Thanks for this. I resist any kind of external authority and altho attracted to them, to a certain extent, systems of thought, too. Upon reading this I realize I don’t trust my soul to take into account my human needs and desires. It’s romantic to assume all of those perhaps belong to the category of things my ego self THINKS it needs and therefore can be dismissed…but allowing to be guided by one’s gut/soul is a give-and-take, and my life is one where I feel burned out and unable to meet basic social needs of belonging…and so the inner scaffolding and belief in being supported seems missing. The fact that I’m such a free thinker and my ideas are often met with resistance only reinforces this sense…so it only becomes more difficult to meet my personal needs when I think of following my heart.
Nevertheless, I’ll try answering these questions today when we get home. Thank you for sharing 🙂 all the best.
Dear Pedro,
When you’re burned out, nothing has appeal, and there is no energy for further exploration. There is no energy for curiosity or adventure. When you’re burned out, it’s easy to question your purpose, it’s easy to question whether or not your soul cares about your life, and it’s easy to believe you have been abandoned by everyone, including the Universe that created you.
When we lose our appetite for life, it’s time to take a break and rest. Take a break from your ideas and expectations of who you should be, of how you should present to the world, and of what you should have accomplished by now. It will not do any good to forge ahead and take the bull by the horns and persevere. When you are burned out, attempting to overcome it with heroic efforts will only burn you out more, and maybe even convince you that there’s no point in trying and perhaps even that there is no point in anything.
But that is the seduction inherent to burnout — to reach a point where we feel abandoned and disconnected, and then believe that those things are true. I strongly recommend that you look at your track record and see where you have used your talents to benefit others and to grow into a more developed person. Even now, there are things that work for you. Focus on what is working, focus on your strengths. Focus on what makes you feel happy. Walk away from the rest.
The important thing is to rest, to take the break. To nurture and nourish yourself by surrounding yourself with what makes your heart sing. The beauty in nature, the companionship of animals, the sound of music, poetry and art are universally uplifting. You have some that are unique to you. Don’t put pressure on yourself to become anything. Just be. Do what you need to do to take care of your basic needs, and then let go, and find your life again. You will find it in your truth, in what moves you to connect with the Life Force.
You can find yourself again by moving towards what calls to you, and taking small steps as you re-discover what it means to be alive. Being alive holds enormous possibilities. While you are here, there is a wealth of life to be explored and enjoyed. But first: rest, surrender to the flow of life, and give up all the useless demands and expectations. There is another vision for you, another life. When you are ready to reach out, it will be there.
