What Does Your Soul Want?

Once upon a time, there was a traveler on a quest to discover what their soul truly desired. Along their journey, they encountered five mysterious guides, each offering a piece of wisdom to help them on their path.

The first guide said, “Look closely at the stories you’ve been told by your family, society and culture. Are you living your life because it feels true to you, or because you think you should?”

The traveler paused and wondered, am I following my own path, or someone else’s?

The second guide warned, “The soul’s path isn’t always easy or comfortable. Instead of trying to avoid discomfort, ask yourself: what decision can you take that will empower your growth?”

The traveler realized that growth often comes from stepping out of their comfort zone and into the unknown.

The third guide whispered, “When you feel anxiety, depression, or a sense of meaninglessness, your soul is speaking. Are you silencing these feelings, or listening to the message they carry?”

The traveler reflected on how often they tried to numb these emotions instead of listening and understanding them.

The fourth guide asked, “Are your goals and actions driven by a deep fear of not feeling good enough? This fear can conflict with what your soul truly wants.”

The traveler acknowledged the unconscious need for approval that had been guiding their decisions.

Finally, the fifth guide revealed, “The soul’s desires are often hidden in the shadows, the parts of yourself you’ve repressed or ignored. Are you ready to face what you’ve kept hidden?”

The traveler took a deep breath, realizing that the true journey was inward, into the shadows, where their soul’s desires lay waiting to be uncovered.

With these insights, the traveler continued on their journey, no longer seeking outside validation, but listening to the quiet voice within, guiding them toward their true self.

And so, the question remains: Are you ready to embark on your own journey to discover what your soul truly wants?
