What Is My Purpose?

Every individual at some point asks the question, "What is my purpose?" It's a profound inquiry that speaks to our desire for meaning and fulfillment. Like a tree destined to grow tall or a bird meant to soar, you too were created with a unique blueprint—a purpose waiting to be realized.

In our fast-paced world, we often measure purpose by external achievements like wealth, grades, or social status. Yet, this narrow perspective leaves many feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. To truly answer the question of "What is my purpose in life?" we must shift the focus inward—to a deeper alignment of body, mind, and spirit.

Discovering Your Purpose Beyond External Markers

Finding meaning in life isn’t about chasing external markers of success; it’s about discovering what resonates with your authentic self. Your spiritual nature carries a unique plan, guiding you toward your best possible self. When your body, mind, and spirit work in harmony, you unlock a life of joy, health, and well-being.

At the Somatic Coaching Academy, we guide individuals on their life purpose journey through our Somatic Coach Professional program. One of our key tools is the Find Your Soul’s Agenda process, which helps people move from “doing" to "being." This method provides clarity and actionable insights to live a truly purpose-driven life.

The Find Your Soul’s Agenda Process

The Find Your Soul’s Agenda process is a seven-step framework designed to reconnect you with your authentic self:

1. Memory Recapitulation
   Reflect on key moments from your professional, personal, and childhood experiences. These memories hold the emotional keys to your unique purpose.

2. Word List Creation
   Extract emotional qualities from these memories, creating a list of words that reflect your essence and guide your life purpose journey.

3. Elimination Round
   Narrow your word list to a single defining word—your Soul’s Agenda. This word encapsulates the core of who you are.

4. Definition
   Define your chosen word through a stream-of-consciousness exercise, allowing its true meaning to emerge.

5. Sensation Qualities
   Identify where this word resonates in your body, connecting your purpose with a physical sensation that fosters awareness and growth.

6. Polarity List
   Acknowledge the challenges and undesired feelings associated with your Soul’s Agenda. These struggles are opportunities to grow and evolve.

7. Soul’s Agenda Statement
   Create a concise statement summarizing your purpose. This serves as a personal mantra to guide your actions and decisions.

Aligning with Your Purpose

Understanding how to find your purpose in life means embracing both the light and shadow aspects of existence. Challenges and setbacks are part of the process, offering opportunities for growth and resilience. By aligning with your Soul’s Agenda, you create a life that feels deeply meaningful and authentic.

Imagine a life where decisions flow effortlessly, free from overthinking, and align with your true self. Instead of striving to meet societal expectations, you’re free to focus on living a meaningful life. This alignment brings unparalleled clarity and fulfillment.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find your purpose or struggled with finding meaning in life, the Soul’s Agenda process provides a clear and practical path. Whether you’re a coach, therapist, leader, or someone seeking personal clarity, this process empowers you to live with intention and joy.
