Quips and Tips for Spiritual Seekers

Purposeful living doesn’t mean your achievements have to be grandiose, famous, or even infamous! But, purposeful living does mean you need to trust your intuition and be aware of the difference between your soul and your ego. Here, author and life strategist Anna Morten shares “soul tips” to help you live with purpose and meaning.

“Only a few people achieve all they are capable of in their lifetime because the majority do not trust their intuition,” she says.

Trusting your intuition to take you where you need to go takes practice, but it’s the heart and soul of purposeful living! For more insights from Morten, read The Cuckoo’s Egg The Story Of An Extraordinary Woman. And, here are her tips for living on purpose…

Purposeful Living and Trusting Your Intuition – Soul Tips

When you think about the meaning of life—one’s life purpose or calling—people like Jesus Christ, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela may come to mind. So might many artists, inventors, scientists, and countless ordinary people who live by example and work for a better world.

Such people are certainly living out their callings…but a life purpose doesn’t have to be this grand! Purposeful living can take limitless forms, all of which are equally important. 

To live your life with purpose…

Be aware of the choices your soul has already made. Prior to this lifetime, in the spirit world, your soul created the blueprint for this lifetime. It did so hoping that the person will meet life’s challenges head-on and not allow the ego to get in the way or—worst case scenario—take over. Every time your soul made its pre-life choices (or soul contracts) and created the blueprint for further incarnation, it considered unresolved issues in previous situations and circumstances.

Accept the possibility of “unfinished business” from before. If Karma was created and is waiting to be cleared, if there is any unfinished business (often, but not always, a result of free will) or chosen experiences that may not have been complete, it goes into the blueprint. And, the best the time to attend to these matters may be your current lifetime. All pre-life choices are made in mutual agreement between all souls involved and form part of the blueprint of each, which explains the attraction and familiarity when you meet again in a human body. There are no strangers in your life, only old friends.

Follow your soul – not your ego. The human ego makes every effort to keep us under its control; it stifles our spiritual growth, and prevents us from being happy. As a result we judge people and their actions, and find fault in everything they think and do. It also makes us judge ourselves harshly, distracts us from remembering our spiritual essence and true origin, keeps us from seeing who we really are, traps us in materialism, chains us to addictions and dependencies, and stops us from following our heart. The ego is our worst and toughest enemy! It will sabotage us whenever it can, fill our head with doubts and fear, tell us that we cannot do or achieve what we desire, convince us that we are not good, smart, educated, attractive, beautiful enough, or that we have less to contribute than anybody else. The soul, on the other hand, wants you to move forward fearlessly and trust that there is nothing to fear except fear itself.

Have faith in yourself and your capabilities. Trust your intuition and inner power, your Soul Power, and the Universe will support you in everything you do, as long as it is in accordance with your soul’s pre-life choice for this incarnation. THIS is what is to be achieved! We all are in this lifetime, on this earth, to learn and experience. Therefore, the purpose of human life is personal growth, spiritual evolution, and the development of a rich inner life.

Always follow your heart, for what comes from the heart comes from the soul.
