 MY SOUL’S PROFILE

I’ve had several conversations with friends, and the common thread is people are searching for their purpose. – “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

– Pablo Picasso

I listened to a podcast, and the guest said you can’t find your purpose filling out a questionnaire online.

Maybe not but it’s a start and it gets you reflecting.  And I did just that. I filled out a questionnaire that Deepak Chopra had to find one’s soul profile. The idea is that if you can discover your soul’s profile, and recognize it, you can realize your full potential. This understanding takes you to new heights.
