You could do it on a whim without breaking a sweat or missing your heart beats like you do when in a field you weren't originally destined to be in. It could take years for you to discover it and a little bit of fine tuning to get it right but when you do, it will so resonate with you deeply that you might even be surprise you had such hidden talents.

People around you may wonder what drive's you, but deep down, you some how know that living a life in contradiction to what your soul truly longs for would be a disservice to you and to all of humanity. Money could be a good motivation though, but in this case you are been driven by something higher than you are. Have you ever stopped to wonder what keeps you going and striving after your purpose and dream even when the money isnt close ?.

Success does not come alone, this fact is often true. As you begin to trust in your gifts and talents, the universe begins to send your own kind of people your way to help you on your journey or maybe even patner with you. This fact is especially true !
You might run into someone at your favorite libary or café who wants to start a blog, a music band, or business just like yours.
Even if you want to become an established writer, you might stumble upon an ad for local writers workshop where you might meet other like minded people like you, who share your vision.Wonderful things happen when you submit to your highest purpose in life.

When you follow your purpose in life, the universe conspires in helping you achieve your dream. When you are finally following your purpose in life, miracles tend to happen. A lot of people constantly struggle throughout life and finally give into the belief that “maybe this is how life was meant to be” However, when one finally discovers and follow their purpose in life, all manner of divine support comes to their aid. For instance If you've been meaning to go into acting, you might suddenly stumble upon an auditioning ad for aspiring actors/actresses in your region. Or maybe you've been hoping to establish yourself as a writer, someone might magically gift you a computer or a laptop for next to nothing ! Everything you need - "remember" not "want" but "need" to achieve your mission will some how be magically supplied to you when you surrender to your divine purpose in life. But first you must help yourself before the universal energy can help in direct your destiny.
5. YOU WILL FEEL STRANGLY PEACFULL EVEN IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITIES.
This is one powerful indication that you are finally following your purpose in life. Even when everything around you seems to be falling apart, you would find comfort in the fact that you now finally know, why you came here. You would feel an inner joy in your ability to finally express your true self. Things that formally got you tensed up, would no longer hold their powers over your soul. Your soul has finally found its peace. We as humans sometimes forget why we are here, but your soul does not. And when it finally discovers it, it suddenly becomes calmer.
6. YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP FASTER AT NIGHT.
One of the possible cause of isomania, is having a lot of troubling thoughts on the mind. And a majority of this troubling thoughts ( mostly unconscious ) are as a result of ones inability to discover or define who they truely are. However, when you finally discover your purpose, you might just find yourself drifting off into dreamland a lot faster at night. This being that you are finally feeling fulfilled with your life's direction and have eventually found something lasting to fill the void previously created in your soul.
7. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WILL IMPROVE WITHOUT YOU EVEN KNOWING IT.
Before now you use to be the easily irritable one, but once you start living your souls purpose, you naturally become more patient and tolerant: which in turn enhances your relationships with both friends and family.
You know it's crazy, many people without knowing it use relationships as a source of relief from their stresses and unhappiness over the direction of their lives!. However when you finally discover your purpose in life, all of the old relationship problems seems to fade away. You no longer feel intimidated, irritable or inadequate. You can now go to your friends and family and instead of your complaints and ills, you can now share your joys and laughter. Your happiness becomes so contiguous it will spread to others, thereby causing a chain reaction of joy and lifting up in their lives too.

9. YOU BEGIN TO FEEL WONDERFULL ABOUT LIFE.
At some point in life, quite a number of people feel dead inside..mostly from their 20's and up. This is ( mostly ) because they haven’t been living their truth. And while it’s true that most people just exist, and not really live, if we could all just have a little faith and give in to that voice in your head telling you to just go for it and follow your dreams, you will feel exuberant and wonderfull about life once again.
10. YOUR HEALTH SHOULD IMPROVE.
It isn't just your immune system alone that gets a boost, your skin complexion dramatically brightens up too without you doing much. Engaging in a job that doesn't make your soul come alive from deep within over an extended period of time, takes a huge toll on your health and physique without you even realizing it.
Job stress and unhappiness in the workplace can arguably be traced to working in a job we have very little to no interest in. Do you even know that working in job you have zero interest in can actually kill you ? You don't ?
In Japan, they call it karoshi, or “death by overwork.” Japanese officials estimated that at least 10,000 employees do experience this horrible fate every year. Researchers have also attributed overworking to many health problems in the U.S., as well thereby making it one of the most prevalent epidemics in our modern world. But when you finally devote your time and energy to something you are more passionate about, you are likely to notice a huge improvement in your health and physical well-being.

And lastly when you start to live your truth and purpose, signs and omens begin to pop up into your life. This signs and omens are like the universe's way of affirming your decision on your chosen path. This signs could be anything from déjà vu experiences to seeing repeating or sequence numbers. They have been many cases and mentions of people noticing repeating numbers like 11:11, 12:12 and so on, you might suddenly wake up and notice your digital or alarm clock at 4:44 am. While this numbers have always showed up throughout your life in the past "( although unconscious to you )", you are suddenly begin to take notice of them. You soul is expanding, you are finally beginning to live your truth and as a result, your overall perception and intuition becomes heightened. Mystical experiences/occurrence which places you in a constant state of awe and wonder, begin to take place in your life; most people at this point may suddenly realize that they posses some psychic abilities. This is actually nothing to be afraid of - simply put: When you eventually discover and follow your dream in life, the universe gets fully committed to your mission and cause in everyway possible: and synchronicity or repeating numbers, is just one of the many ways the universe or divine intelligence guides you to your light and destiny.
