Our philosophy, The Art of Soulful Living is brought to life through our compass, that acts as a guide to personal wellbeing. This month, we are focusing on one of the 13 compass points: Purpose.  

The moment you discover your authentic self and get to know the real you a little better is the moment you can truly reconnect with your soul. And if you make the time to listen to it carefully, it will tell you what makes you come alive, and what you like and love to do with your time here on earth. This is your purpose. 

You see, purpose doesn't always have to be something big and all-encompassing that is set in stone for the rest of your life. Purpose can be fluid and spill over into other endeavours. It might not even be just one thing. Perhaps you have smaller purposes that are interconnected. And then there are the experiences on your journey that may make your purpose shift. If you look at your life purpose in that light, it suddenly seems less overwhelming and more attainable. 

The perfect way to keep track of your purpose is by tuning in regularly with your soul – making time for reflection – and finding out if the path you are on is still aligned with your current 

intentions and goals. All you have to realise is that when you start living according to your purpose, 

your life will be happy and fulfilled, no matter what. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, ‘the purpose of life is to live it.’ We agree, and would also add: To have purpose is to live your life doing the things that genuinely excite you.
