Can you fulfill your life purpose? Believe it or not, you always do. But it can be easy or hard. Still there is no judgement. Let me explain:

When I was a psychologist, I noticed that many of my clients felt they were not on track with their life. Many felt a lack motivation, depression and fatigue. With a bit of digging, we soon discovered they were not fully aware of the problem. You (and everyone else) carry a subconscious need to fulfill your life purpose

Fulfill your life purpose

Being able to fulfill your life purpose is closely related to your happiness. To be happy we need two elements:

1. We need to feel aligned with our purpose.
2. We need to clear up left over emotions from unresolved past lives.

Most people don’t realise how their past lives interfere with their ability to find peace and joy.  The emotions left unresolved from your past lives throw you off track with your purpose.

The power of past lives to keep you on track in your current life

My client, Chelsea, had a married sister. This sister wanted Chelsea to invest in a scheme promoted by her sister’s husband. Chelsea loved her sister and wanted to invest but something about her brother-in-law bothered her.

To unravel her doubts, Chelsea comes to see me for a past life regression. She wonders if her hesitation is related to a past life. In the past life regression, we ask her guides for the secret of Chelsea’s self-doubt. We are taken to a past life.

Chelsea’s past life as Mary

Mary lives on a small ranch in the American Wild West. She works hard on the ranch with her husband, Dave. But managing the ranch isn’t Dave’s only interest. Mary didn’t know it, but Dave is also a horse thief. Mary has an inkling that something isn’t quite right, but she refuses to think about it. Instead, she distracts herself from her doubts with her many every-day duties.

One day, when Dave and her two adolescent sons are away, the sheriff arrives. He says little but insists Mary accompany him to town. Once there, she finds her husband and both sons in jail for horse rustling. Worse, an innocent man has been shot dead during the theft.

Dave is not tried for murder. Instead, Dave convinces his two young sons that their youth will save them, whereas he will hang if the truth is told. To save their father the two young boys plead guilty to the crime.

Turns out Dave was wrong. Mary’s two sons are publicly executed. Mary, unable to cope with her grief and guilt, kills herself.

How you always fulfill your life purpose

Mary died feeling a failure. She did not listen to her intuition, refusing to even consider her suspicions.  Her purpose was to listen to her intuition and be brave enough to explore it. Some people would consider Chelsea’s past life in the American west a failure. Mary ‘s failure to explore her doubts cost her the death of her sons.

Chelsea wept with grief and disappointment, feeling all Mary’s loss and guilt at the death of her two young sons.

With Chelsea’s guides, we did a deep exploration of Mary’s decision to ignore the truth. Chelsea could understand why Mary ignored the truth about Dave. Mary was afraid to leave with her two sons. She didn’t know how she would support them. This fear blocked her ability to focus on her doubts.

Chelsea’s guide showed her what would have happened if Mary had left. Mary and her sons would have been fine. Opportunities for a new life would have arisen soon after she’d gone. The guides explained that having the courage to take your path is rewarded.

After the regression Chelsea made several changes in her life. She listened more to her intuition and acted on it. She realised that her brother-in-law is like Dave. He is dishonest and manipulates his wife, Chelsea’s sister. From exploring Mary’s past life, Chelsea’s doubts about him were confirmed. He has no chance of manipulating Chelsea to invest in his dodgy schemes or believe his many lies.

Did Mary fulfill her life purpose?

When her life was originally planned, most probably her Higher Self hoped Mary would see the truth of Dave’s immorality and dishonesty. But that “failure” is an amazing lesson. Being aware of the deceptive nature of many people, even those close, is important. From Chelsea’s perspective, Mary’s life was a great success. Chelsea’s soul learned a valuable lesson.  Her future incarnations, are more likely to listen and investigate, thereby avoiding the sad loss that Mary suffered.

Warren’s attempt to fulfill his life purpose of less impulsivity

Warren, aged seventy, came for a regression to help him understand why he had made certain decisions during his life. In the regression, he relived two past lives, one as a corporal, called Charlie in WWI, and another as a fighter pilot, Phil, in WWII. In each life, we discover he is impulsive.

Charlie’s Past Life in WWI

In WWI, Charlie is in the army and the leader of a dozen men. They land on a designated beachhead on the Gallipoli peninsular. High steep hills block their path, so Charlie, without any thought, suddenly decides to turn south. He sees an easier path through a break between cliffs. They meet no resistance as the men ramble inland, through the scrub. At dusk, feeling pleased with his decision, Charlie orders them to set camp. A noise wakes them abruptly before dawn. The enemy suddenly falls upon them. Charlie, by impulsively looking for an easy way, has led his men behind enemy lines. He has just enough time to regret his mistake before he is shot in the head.

Charlie dies with a sense of shame that remains when his soul reincarnates as the Spitfire pilot, Phil.

Phil’s other past life in WWII

In his youth, Phil impregnates a young lady and abandons her, adding to his shame.

Shame can often create a need to prove ourselves worthy. And shame can negatively influence our judgement and impulsivity. The need to prove himself worthy is bubbling away deeply in Phil’s psyche.

During WWII, Phil’s impulsive nature gets him into trouble with the squadron leader. He takes unnecessary risks in battle. The squadron leader, fed up with his risk-taking, calls him ‘a dopey bastard.’ The leader threatens to ground Phil permanently unless he is more temperate when flying his fighter plane. Phil vows to settle down and be more responsible.

Soon, Phil is back in battle. Despite his good intentions, the adrenalin takes over and he flies like a madman, shooting furiously at the enemy. Realising he has no real control over his impulsivity, he decides to die killing Germans. He takes ridiculous risks, shooting down many Messerschmitt’s, but miraculously doesn’t take a fatal hit himself.

The squadron of fighters turn to fly back to base. Phil is certain he will be reported, stripped of his wings and disgraced. He knows he cannot endure even the thought of that happening.  Impulsively, he peels off, turning back towards the sea. He knows he will soon run out of fuel, but he cannot face the squadron leader or his fellow pilots. He dies feeling ashamed of his cowardice.

Warren assesses impulsivity in his current life

Comparing his past lives with his current life, Warren realises he has learned much from the mistakes he made as Charlie and Phil. In his current life, he has managed to keep much of his impulsivity under control. He married and had a family. Despite various temptations, he stayed faithful to his beautiful wife. Even though he made some risky financial investments that were costly, he managed to minimise the damage. He admits he can still be impulsive but now he is more aware of this tendency and checks himself.

Did Warren fulfill his purpose in his current and past lives? Warren’s past lives ended in a way that most would judge as devastating failures, but these misadventures have served Warren and his soul well.

In each life, his life purpose was to overcome his extreme impulsivity. Now in his current life, he is succeeding. He has lived a good life after his devastating but useful previous lives. He is now more aware and learning to contain his impulsivity.

The power of fulfilling and failing to fulfill your life purpose

We are easy to judge when we see people failing at life. We are often dismayed at the end of a life when the awful consequences of poor decisions, are obvious.  Self-neglect, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, financial waste, criminal actions and other debilitating actions disturb us. But are these lives really wasted?

The previous lives of Chelsea and Warren were not squandered. Physical death is not the end. We get to repeat our lessons as many times as we need. There is absolutely no judgment from those that guide us, only compassion and encouragement. We are our own harshest judge. There is no learning without so-called “mistakes” and “dead ends.”

You always fulfill your life purpose. When, through learning about our past lives, you realise that life on this planet is about growth and understanding, you become more compassionate towards yourself and others. You discover that there is no failure, only learning. The deep, expansive truth is that you always fulfill your life purpose.
