Why & How to Find Your Purpose As an HSP

Finding our purpose could be the most important thing to do in life. When we find our purpose, we find fulfilment, ease and meaning in our life. It feels good waking up knowing what to do and knowing that it's something we have chosen to do and that makes us happy.

As a highly sensitive person you usually have many gifts that may go unnoticed or unacknowledged by mainstream society, but that are highly needed and sought after in the world today. When you put yourself out there, and show/offer your gifts and talents to the world you give others an opportunity to do the same and receive your gift in order to help themselves and therefore make the world a better place.

When we are in on our purpose, it usually makes us feel good. No thoughts or mental chatter are present, no worries of the past or future, what we are going to do later or what's gonna come next. Time stands still when you've found your purpose, and you feel like you could go on forever and ever doing it because it brings you joy and meaning!

Finding our purpose and living our purpose makes us happy. It brings confidence and true inner peace that can't be bought from the supermarket or through make-up, chocolate or relationships. It's a feeling of happiness that arises from within, that is not dependent on external events, circumstances or situations.

You are your purpose! If you wouldn't be here - you wouldn't have a purpose, so essentially you being alive and being here is your purpose! The gift you give by being here is sharing it with the outside world.

Finding your purpose can be difficult, because many times we carry subconscious and unconscious programming from early education, parents and/or teachers as well as society. These voices may tell us what to do because it looks good on paper or gives us status, ''security'' or money, but it may not be these things that truly bring us happiness inside of us and that is our true purpose. It may also be negative thought-processes we've picked up from our surroundings or verbally abusive things others have said to us that have got stuck within our own subconscious mind that may prevent us from going after our purpose fearlessly and confidently!

Ways to find out about your true purpose

• It makes you happy!

The things you're doing that make you happy from the inside and out are in direct alignment with your purpose. It can be things like swimming in the ocean, feeling the breeze of a warm wind. The happiness you feel from fulfilling your purpose is not a temporary happiness based on external stimuli, it's a happiness that arises from within and fills you up that you just can't help yourself sharing it with the world!

• Time stands still

What is it you find yourself doing when time stands still? Is it writing, baking, singing, designing clothes, building objects, gardening, spending time in nature, helping other people?

Take notice of the moments in your life you feel most alive and observe what it is you are doing. These are signs that point you to your purpose!

• You're good at it!

Our purpose is usually something we are born with - something that comes natural and easy for us. It's a part of our natural gifts and talents, almost like second-nature and not something we are struggling with doing. Many times we've been taught that we have to suffer, force ourselves and go through challenges in order to receive rewards. The schooling system is a bit like this. Go through difficult periods of studying just to write a test and later get rewarded for that test and hopefully receive money. It's a weird way to do things if you really look at it. How about turning it around, what if your purpose already is within you and is a part of your natural blueprint? What if all you have to do is acknowledge it and trust it and follow it and you will be amazed about how amazing you already are - without studying, a certificate or courses.

• You don't care about money

When being in our purpose, it usually comes natural to us and feels good - and we do it because of those reasons. Money is a side-effect. But you are not doing it for the money. First you follow your purpose - then the money comes! This is the secret to abundance. Your purpose is your abundance. This is your natural birth right and the natural way to make money.

• It helps other people

You may notice other people reaching out to you for advice or giving thanks for things you've shared, said or done that have improved their lives, these are direct signs that you are living and fulfilling your purpose, because when we fulfill our purpose we make the lives of other people better!

• You dreamed about it as a child

Maybe as a child you had dreams about what you wanted to do growing up, you could picture yourself on a stage, riding a horse bareback or designing your own clothes - or whatever it may be, and you were so filled with hope and enthusiasm knowing this is what your life was going to be like! When we are children we don't have barriers to our dreams, and we haven't developed negative thinking patterns such as ''I can't'', ''It's impossible'', ''How is that going to work out?''. We see infinite possibilities and know that all things are possible just because we exist - they are possible too! Many times it's growing up that we tend to pick up thought-forms, beliefs or energies from other institutions, people and or care-givers that in truth are supposed to nurture and care for our dreams, but maybe because they never fulfilled their own or didn't believe in themselves or had someone who believed in them they can't believe in you.

Tapping into the child-like imagination of wonder and possibilities that you had as a child. Knowing that we can create anything and all it takes is believing in oneself, determination, self-worth, trust, consistency, gratitude and patience.

Your dreams are in direct alignment with your Purpose

Your dreams for your life are always connected to your purpose and larger goals of life. If you've always dreamed of living in the rays of the sun of the South of France, then that is a part of your purpose and destiny. If you've always dreamed of living in the Alps, that's a part of your destiny, if you've always felt called to a certain part of the world or a country, that's your destiny! If a certain music, style or vibe attracts you and makes you feel happy and home - that's a part of your destiny!

Your dreams are indicators of what it is that your soul wants to experience. One way to connect more to your dream is to get a bunch of magazines (maybe 3) and then cut out every image that you like, receive energy from or that makes you happy, then glue these images on a larger piece of paper, and look at it afterwards.

What are the images telling you?

Could they give you more clues to your purpose and destiny?

Your purpose brings you to your destiny

Following your purpose always aligns you with the best things for you, as in people, living-locations, connections, friends, opportunities, experiences, events, synchronicities and relationships.

Whatever is destined for you can only unfold when you follow your purpose.

How to find your Purpose

• Find an accountability partner

Having someone we can share about our goals and plans with who can support us, listen to us and believe in us can help us fulfill our purpose. Sometimes finding a coach, mentor or teacher who holds space for us, has walked the path before us, listens and can guide us in an objective way can help us trust ourselves more and believe in ourselves more.

• Numerology

The day you are born as well as the time you are born holds information about your unique birth promises. Finding information online about Numerology or reading about it can be helpful, but if we are new to it it can be overwhelming to understand it or translate it into our day-to-day life. If you don't feel that you want to study Numerology in order to understand it or read about it online it can be better to find a Numerologist that resonates with you and who you feel safe with for you to learn about your birth-promises.

• Astrology

Not only are the numbers in our date of birth giving us information on our birth promises - but also our time and place of birth gives us deeper information about how the planets were placed when we were born and how that affects us and our lives as unique individuals.
