Each person is given a particular soul contract to accomplish in a lifetime. You may be sent here to write. You may be sent here to teach. You may be sent here to serve one particular soul or soul cluster, such as a family. You may be sent here to sacrifice on a karmic level for a soul you’ve been working with for a long time. You may be sent here to play, enjoy, and experience. You may be sent here to travel the world or live in a specific place. You may be sent here to heal others. You may be sent here to heal yourself. You may be sent here to build. You may be sent here to stabilize. You may be sent here to invent. You may be sent here to inspire.

These are just some possibilities for a soul contract. A soul contract always has one main trajectory — one main calling or purpose — that is yours and yours alone. There are those who understand their purpose early and focus on the business of living their lives clearly at a young age. This is a marvelous gift because they will have more time to focus on their paths. They also have more time in the life span to give their full attention to the soul’s calling.

But often, many waste much of their lives slinking and sliding around their purpose, wondering if it is really theirs, wondering if they will have the courage to undertake this great calling in their lifetimes — wondering if they dare to do it. Instead of shivering under blankets of fear and uncertainty, you hang on the edge of the diving board — refusing to dive in. You refuse to commit. You refuse to leap, and you refuse to trust. You live your lives, but you are not living your purpose. It is a great waste to not fully live in a lifetime.
