Finding Your Soul Purpose -
Be Receptive to What Comes

Text that reads "be receptive to what comes...no matter what"

This post is part of series about “How to Find Your Soul Purpose.” You can read the original post here. In this series I am expanding on each part of the process I used to discover my soul’s purposes as mentioned in the original post. If I can find my soul’s purpose using this process, I know you can too.


In the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller, 2013), the main character is criticized for his frequent daydreams. But then one day he chooses to go out into the world on a quest. His daydreams about adventures have prepared him well for the challenges he faces, and he moves forward on his quest with confidence.

While on our quest to discover our soul’s purpose, spiritual awakening, or manifesting, we receive guidance. That guidance may be in the form of synchronicities, messages through our clair senses, dreams, or messages directly from Spirit. Be open to what comes. Our guidance, like Walter Mitty’s daydreams, prepares us for our soul’s purpose.

If the guidance tells you to do something, do it. No matter how small or big, do the thing. Show your faith and trust in the process by following the guidance. It will be rewarded with more guidance and eventually with our soul’s purpose.

Trust the process. Trust your guidance. If it doesn’t make sense now, trust that it will in the future. Your faith and trust in the process will ensure continued guidance.

Be Receptive to Guidance.

The guidance we receive on this path to purpose are more likely to be the steps we need in the current moment than they are direct communication about our purpose. The steps are building us and growing us into the person and the vibration that is aligned with our purpose.

The guidance we receive moves us forward and places us into situations that we need to help grow and serve our purpose. Our guidance may lead us to the people we need in our lives to help us with our purpose. We are learning to be the person that we need to be to live our purpose.

Changes, energies, odd errands that don’t make sense, you may be guided to many things. On the surface they may seem unrelated, but in hindsight they may be exactly what you needed to move forward. They are the steps you must take to move towards your soul’s purpose.

Trust the Process.

Have faith in spiritual and universal energies. They want this for you as much as you do. It may be easy, or it may be your biggest challenge. Trust the process. Trust the guidance you receive. Trust that it is the next right step. Trust that it is bringing you one step closer to your soul’s purpose.

Trust that every bit of guidance is moving you forward. Trust that the guidance is bringing you closer to your soul’s purpose. Trust that your spirit team and the universe is guiding you towards your soul’s purpose. Trust that every step you take is moving you closer to your soul’s purpose and therefore is part of your purpose.

Free Will.

No matter what kind of guidance we receive, we have free will. We may choose to follow guidance, or we may choose to disregard it. But if you’re here, it is likely that you will choose to act upon your guidance.

If you choose not to follow your guidance, that’s okay. By not responding to guidance, you are sending a message to spirit and the universe that you are not ready. Again, that is okay. But know that your path may pause until such time as you are open again to listen to and follow guidance.

Remember it is always your choice to follow your guidance and continue your quest to find your soul’s purpose, or to continue on with your life as it is. In this way we have some control of what happens in our lives while on this path to discover our soul’s purpose.

While on our path to purpose, be receptive to the messages that come. The guidance we receive is helping us become aligned with our purpose. The people, places and things that we encounter are growing us into the version of us that is ready to serve our purpose. Be open to what comes and trust the process.
