How to know if you’re on your true path in life
You need to know what finding your soul's true path involves
When people talk about finding their purpose, what they’re really talking about is aligning to their true path in life.
When you’re on your true path, knowing your purpose becomes obvious.
You easily identify your soul’s truest gifts, understand how to give them to the world in a way that fulfills you while getting you recognized, respected and paid for your great work.
But purpose transcends work.
Living in this flow is how you wake up bright-eyed and buzzing every morning, smiling and humming as you fry your eggs and sip your coffee, ready to flow through another blessed day working on your passion, pursuing your dreams, while content and fulfilled exactly where you are.
Most people however, are not on their true path.
They feel lost, confused, stressed, overwhelmed and even a little hopeless sometimes.
Over time, this destroys your health, your relationships suffer because your temper is short, you snap at your husband, friends or kids, and drown your feelings in sugar and alcohol at night.
You gain weight, grow tired, and think to yourself, “is it too late? Did I miss my chance?”
Today, I want to assure you that it’s never, ever too late.
The most beautiful thing about life is there are an infinite number of chances to begin again.
As long as you’re breathing, you can find your purpose, dream a new dream and claim that sense of aliveness that’s your birthright.
That’s what happens as soon as you step onto your true path.
Before we get started, my name is Suzanne, and I’m a spiritual life coach who helps ambitious women find their purpose and make it their career.
My work guides you to find your true self through a deep realization of your value and worth.
I help clients heal core emotional wounds, overcome limiting beliefs to activate their potential and connect to their inner guidance to become the woman they were always meant to be.
What it means to be on your true path
Everyone is born with specific lessons they’re meant to learn and blessings pre-ordained for them to receive, but receiving the blessings requires learning the lessons.
Most people think of purpose in terms of career, but as someone who deeply understands the nuances of purpose after speaking with God about it for 15 years, I see things differently.
Your career is part of your purpose, but not all of it.
The bigger purpose of your life is to grow, to express as much of your true nature as possible.
Just like a garden of beautiful flowers realizes its potential through luscious blooms and tall stems, you also make the world a better place when you bloom into your full potential.
Fulfillment initially comes from experiencing personal growth, but that soon extends into your expanded ability to serve humanity.
Stagnation and selfishness don’t create happiness.
Growth and service do.
Beyond work, purpose involves aligning every part of your life with your truest, divine nature.
If one part of your life is out of alignment, it affects every other part.
Neglecting your health affects your success.
Neglecting your family affects your emotional wellbeing.
Neglecting your soul’s sacred calling for meaningful work affects your wellbeing and relationships.
The good news is that even incremental improvements in one area of life naturally overflow, elevating every other area. It’s all about creating momentum in a new, better direction.
Finding your soul’s true path involves:
Releasing past emotional pain so you no longer need the approval or validation of others.
Truly valuing yourself, your gifts, dreams, needs and soul desires.
Cultivating vibrant health at the cellular level, the foundation of realizing your fullest potential.
Pursuing your life’s work in a way that serves others, uses your truest gifts and supports you in a life of financial and emotional abundance.
Nurturing faith as you step into the unknown.
It’s impossible to be happy and fulfilled if you’re not on your true path.
In fact, feeling unhappy and unfulfilled signals you’re not on your true path.
Society says you should sit at a desk, in a cubicle, barely moving, working a job you hate, from 8 to 6, eat processed food and drink alcohol to unwind, and if you’re not happy in that lifestyle, you have a chemical imbalance and need to be medicated.
Society loves to victimize people and tell them they don’t have control over their lives or their health, blame bad luck for lack of success and genetics for every illness. But don’t worry — Big Pharma, Big Tech and Big Government will rescue you.
The corporate elite and increasingly authoritarian governments love when people feel powerless. They make money by drugging people out of emotional distress. They profit from the physical illnesses caused by sedentary, office-based lifestyles and convenience-based diets. They make money when we forget our power.
This worldview has no space for service, vitality, autonomy or faith.
It’s trans human, and the sense of meaningless so many feel is a valid reaction to an inhumane, corrupt, broken system.
But you can opt out.
You can create a purpose-aligned business out of thin air and make money off the internet.
You can find remote work from a company anywhere in the world that aligns with your values and respects your gifts, instead of being trapped into a handful of opportunities in your town or city.
Nobody is ever trapped.
Trapped is a state of mind.
Freedom is also a state of mind.
The ticket to living on purpose, fulfilled, passionate, free and authentic is to find your path and spend the rest of your life pursuing it to the best of your ability.
If you don’t create success on your own terms, you’ll never be fully free.
One of my biggest values is freedom.
Time freedom to walk my dog mid-day, workout and cook healthy meals.
Location freedom to travel where I want, when I want.
Health freedom to choose what medicines are injected into my body.
Financial freedom so I can support causes I believe in, buy high-quality food, adorn my body and my home with beauty.
Thought freedom so if I get canceled for ‘wrong think,’ (which has already happened to me), it doesn’t matter.
Living your purpose isn’t just about being happy. It’s also about being free.
How to know you’re on your true path
1. Your daily rhythm supports your soul’s needs, desires and values.
My daily rhythm makes me so incredibly happy. Every day is pretty much the same, but I never get bored because every part of my day holds meaning and purpose.
Mornings are for journaling, and an apple cider vinegar drink outside in the sun to set my circadian rhythm.
Breakfasts are leisurely while listening to a podcast.
Mid-morning to late afternoon is spent writing, working on my business and supporting clients as they pursue their purpose.
I walk my dog Kevin Gregory twice a day.
I cook nutritious, healthy dinners.
I meditate, work out and usually do yoga nidra.
My evening wind-down routine is another highlight, with yin followed by healthy hot chocolate and a book.
2. You feel at peace, knowing you’re in the right place at the right time.
I used to always have this nagging feeling that I was supposed to be somewhere else, doing something else.
I never feel that way anymore. The natural effect of being on my true path, living in complete alignment with my soul, is that I feel content, at peace, and joyful in the present moment.
The best way I can describe it is that you’re clicked in. Every part of you is in alignment — your thoughts, feelings, desires, values, goals and habits.
3. You feel energetically pulled forward as the path opens before you.
When you’re on your true path, there’s a sort of energetic pull, pulling you forward.
It’s not fast or even obvious, but very subtle. You’re venturing into the unknown, and you intellectually know that, but you also feel very safe and held and guided.
It’s a spiritual experience because you’re truly being guided by your soul, and trusting that divine guidance more than any worldly idea or advice.
4. The next steps toward your goals appear naturally and obviously.
You don’t have to think that much about what’s next or even how to achieve your goals. You intuitively know the next step, or the resources (ideas, mindset shifts, books, courses, teachers, coaches) flow into your path and you also intuitively know which are for you and which aren’t for you.
Everybody achieves success in their own unique way, and as you stay within the expansive groove of your true path, that sense of being pulled forward guides you to your next step in the most beautiful way.
If you're done struggling and trying to find your true path on your own, and you’re ready to find your purpose and make it your career, then I invite you to get on a call with me.
I’m calling in two spiritually powerful women who know they’re meant to create ripples in the world, but want support to fully root into their value and worth so they can unlock their passion and purpose and brilliance as they align to the path of their biggest blessings.
