How do I know if I’m being called to something more? How do I know if I’m being called to follow my soul? These are powerful, soul-stirring questions. They awaken clarity, compassion and courage in your heart and mind. You will feel it in your body, soul and spirit. An effective question will light up your inner world. 

Being called to something more usually begins as a quiet restlessness. Your life might look fine on the outside. It might even look good on paper. You may be successful by society’s standards. 

But. 

Deep down, something is not quite right. You feel incomplete. Misaligned. Like wearing a jacket that used to fit perfectly but now it feels so tight in all the wrong places that you struggle to take it off. You start to notice:

• You crave more meaning in your work and relationships.
• You feel tired, stressed or exhausted from pretending, pleasing, or performing.
• You can hear a whisper that says: There’s more to life than this.
• You feel afraid of change and at the same time, afraid of staying the same. 

The call to follow your soul doesn’t always shout. (Although it does tend to shout if you ignore the call for too long.) The call often begins as a whisper. It might be a nudge. You might notice a subtle shift in your energy or attention. Like me, you might experience a sense of longing for a deeper, spiritual connection.

Here’s the thing. You don’t need permission to answer the call. Your desire for more is the sign. Your discomfort is an invitation from your soul. If you feel it, then you’re already being called. It means you’re ready to explore it.

Journal Prompts 

Use the soul stirring questions I’ve listed below as journal prompts to clarify your calling.

1. What soul truth have I been quietly carrying that’s ready to be spoken out loud?
2. Where in my life am I being asked to step up, even if it scares me?
3. If I fully trusted the wisdom of my intuition, what decision would I make today?
4. What parts of me are longing to be recognised, healed, or reclaimed?
5. Who do I become when I stop living under a cloud of fear and start leading from my soul? 

When you start asking soul-stirring questions, your answers will eventually lead you to your soul’s purpose.
