Understanding your child's life purpose

As you've read, every soul comes to Earth with a life purpose. Each child has their own unique life purpose that determines their individual life path. It's quite possible that your child's life path is very different from what you or your family expects from them. The art is to embrace your child and their life path anyway.

Broad Life Purposes: Freedom to Choose

Some children have a very broad life purpose. For them, the life path isn't entirely fixed yet. If your child has this, they're fortunate. These children have life purposes like bringing joy, helping society, or caring for people. How your child will fulfill this isn't yet clear. Children with a broad life purpose can go in almost any direction in current society. It doesn't matter much which direction or education they choose. Wherever they go, they can live their life purpose. If your child has this life purpose, they can shape their life in all kinds of ways.

This flexibility is a gift. These children won't feel trapped by choosing one career over another because their purpose can be expressed anywhere. A child whose purpose is "bringing joy" can do this as a teacher, an artist, a nurse, a parent, or a shopkeeper. The specific form matters less than the essence of what they're here to do.

Specific life purposes: clarity from birth

There are also children who have a specific life purpose. These life purposes are more defined and narrow. For example, I once spoke with a child whose life purpose is to "bring more peace and connection to the family." This child chose to be born with a disability so that family members would have to be home more. Other specific life purposes include becoming a queen, "inventing" a new airplane, or building something like ChatGPT.

If your child has a specific life purpose, they indicate at a young age what they want to "become later" or what they find very important. Your child will very likely remain consistent in this wish for a long period. This is because your child doesn't want to "become" this later—they already are this now. Everything these children need for their life purpose is already present in their soul. They're already that hairdresser, that inventor, or that queen. They're waiting until society and their body are ready for the people around them to see this in them too.

Supporting a child with a specific purpose

If your child already knows exactly what their life purpose is, you can guide them from a young age to fulfill their mission. This is what makes them happiest. It's pointless for them to learn things that don't support their life purpose. Their soul has no interest in those things; they don't need them in their life either. Children who already know their life purpose specifically show this clearly in the first cycle of their life.

This might mean supporting unconventional choices. If your five-year-old insists they're going to be an architect and only wants to build with blocks, draw buildings, and learn about structures, that's not a phase—that's their soul speaking. The worst thing you can do is force them to be "well-rounded" when their soul has a specific mission.

I understand this can be challenging for parents who value traditional education and diverse experiences. But remember: your child's purpose isn't about your comfort or meeting societal expectations. It's about them fulfilling what they came here to do.

Two types of souls: maintainers and change-makers

I see a clear difference in two groups of talents among children and people living on Earth. There are children who come to Earth to keep society "running." These are the children who, when they're adults, go to their work, do it with some pleasure, and then come home again. They ask few questions and don't seek innovations. They live their lives stably and calmly.

These souls are essential. They provide the continuity and stability that society needs. Without them, everything would be in constant upheaval. They're the ones who perfect existing systems, who show up reliably, who maintain what's been built. There's no hierarchy here—they're not "less evolved" than change-makers. They're simply here for a different purpose.

There are also souls who come to Earth to lead society to a new phase. These are the souls who, as adults, find it difficult to keep a job. They ask questions and have critical opinions. They often start innovative companies or become activists, artists, or visionaries. They can't help but challenge the status quo because that's literally what they're here to do.

Recognizing change-makers early

These children also show this in their first cycle. They question their parents' authority, for example. They're the ones who ask the difficult questions and who challenge their parents and teachers on their behavior. This can sometimes be difficult for you as a parent. Yet it's important to cherish this behavior.

By teaching these children that they're allowed to think about things, have an opinion, and don't have to agree with everything, they more easily follow their life path as teenagers and adults. If you suppress this questioning nature, you're essentially asking them to deny their soul's purpose. You're teaching them that conformity is more important than truth, that keeping peace is more valuable than creating change.

As you've already read, many children being born now are from this last group. They're here to change society. If you have one of these children, your job isn't to make them fit in better—it's to help them stay true to their mission while navigating a world that often resists change.

Understanding whether your child is a maintainer or a change-maker helps you parent them appropriately. A maintainer child needs stability, routine, and clear expectations. A change-maker child needs room to question, explore, and challenge. Both are valuable. Both are necessary. Both deserve to be honored for who they are.
