Does Everyone Have A Special Life Purpose?
Your life purpose is not to be an accountant, a writer, a coach, movie star, rock star or an airline pilot. Those are only mediums with which you can express your life purpose. Your life purpose is more about who you are at your core and what you are here to learn and give than it is about what you do for a living. You may use your career path to express your life’s purpose, but rarely is a career your life purpose. When asked what their life purpose is and expecting to hear something that will give their life more meaning, they are usually disappointed when told that a life’s purpose is to experience the scenario you have written for yourself. And that scenario is what you are living at the moment. No more, no less.
People’s life purpose falls into two categories
1. They are here to have a personal growth experience, to learn, grow and understand more about life, relationships and oneness so their soul can evolve and become more conscious.
2. The second is they have incarnated to have an impact on the planet, to change something for all of humanity, to make a difference and change the course of many lives, to share a profound wisdom of which they are already aware, that will benefit everyone.
People in the first category (here to have a personal growth experience) will still impact their lives and others. And people in the second category (here to have an impact) will still have a personal growth experience. But their primary life purpose is one or the other. People who are here to have a personal growth experience, there is a certain energy around them like healer, teacher, humanitarian, entrepreneur, communicator, etc. Healers, for example, are here to help alleviate the physical and emotional suffering of others and are well suited for careers in the medical field, psychology, energy healing, etc.

People with teacher energy are often drawn to teaching, writing, speaking, or coaching. There is no spiritual imperative for you to follow any particular profession. As long as you are in alignment with your higher energy, you can have a personal growth experience being homeless, being a pole dancer, a prostitute, president or just a lovely person who cares about stray dogs and cats and helps the neighbor shovel their driveway in the winter.
People in the first category, here to have a personal growth experience, tend to have more flexibility in what they do while incarnated. They may not ever find growth in their chosen career, but spread joy on weekends with friends and family. Not everyone is here to save the planet. Some people are here to save themselves and a few others caught in their personal growth net. So how do you know which category you’re in? Most people already know and are searching to remember. Just look at your life as it is unfolding and you will know what category you are in for this incarnation.
People in the second category who have incarnated to have an impact on the planet, usually have something very specific in their soul coding. Example: “You came here to have a major impact in the field of physics, specifically in the area of DNA and how it relates to consciousness.” Another example, “You came here to teach people compassion, specifically in the area of domestic violence by teaching women to have higher self -esteem, and by educating parents on how to keep their sons from being abusive.” Usually people in this category completely resonate with what their guides are telling them. It has the feeling that it has been encoded in their DNA and they are just reawakening the memory.
Susan Z’s Verdict
Does everyone have a life purpose? Absolutely! Everyone has a reason for incarnating here. You may not be a Jesus, Gandhi, or Abraham Lincoln, but you’ll get just as much out of your time here just being Joe that lives across the street and helps the elderly couple or a Mary that knits mastectomy supports for women who have had surgery. You are making the most of it, regardless of how little it seems to be in the big picture of life. Let go of your “big picture” of what kind of impact you are supposed to be having in your life purpose and let the smaller steps show the way.
