4. Soul Goals & Defining Your Own Success
Achieve crystal clarity, silence the noise and pressure of the world and connect deeply with what you want, so you can work towards that
This is a self-focus step.
OK, you’ve unpicked your comparison! Well done - this is a huge part of the comparison free process.
You’ll find the soul goals audio exercise to accompany this step further down this section. Also below are the question prompts from the audio so you can also do this as a journal prompt exercise. That is, read the question and allow the words to flow as you write down your response before moving onto the next question.
If the exercise doesn’t connect the first time and you struggle to achieve a clear outcome that’s OK. You can revisit in the coming week, or when it feels right for you.
Having a vision in this context is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.
We each have the potential to identify and realise the unique vision for our lives. Having a vision isn’t grandiose or reserved for people that are considered visionaries like, for example, Steve Jobs.
When you arrive at your vision for your life, you don’t have to make an announcement in your local paper or post it all over social media unless you want to, of course. You can keep it as a secret between you and your soul.
When we are stuck in the fog of comparison it can be difficult to get a clear view of what we want and need the most, for our own reasons and motivations. There’s just too much to be distracted by - how can you connect to your soul when you’re stalking Becky from down the road on Instagram?!
About Soul Goals
True soul goals are derived from our vision - you can’t have one without the other.
Rather than belonging to our intellect and making us think, soul goals, make us feel something and not just about the end result but about the journey to get there too. That’s why they are so key to living comparison free - because they keep you motivated and connected with the steps to your destination, not just your arrival there. They keep us individually inspired and in our own lane.
Why are these Soul Goals so important?
Your soul doesn’t compete with anyone else because it doesn’t have anything it needs to prove. It comes from a place where only your individual growth is important. This means it’s much easier for you to keep going - you’re wired up to your own unique source.
When you are working towards achieving your soul goals, it’s like ascending a beautiful, continuous staircase to new opportunities and experiences full of peace and joy, completely aligned with you.
As Michael Beckwith so beautifully puts it:
“I want you to be aware of something...
That inside within you already there is a seed.
An idea about your infinite potential and infinite possibility.
You didn't get that from your parents, it's not hereditary
You didn't get that from society, it's not a societal fantasy.
You got that directly from the source.
And when you are pulled by what you're meant to be,
the goals that you have for your life then pull from you the latent possibilities of your soul.”
I struggle to read or say these words without feeling deeply moved. How do they land with you?
A soul goal will stir something in you. It will connect you to something bigger than yourself.
So let’s crack on and connect you with yours!
Below you’ll find a closed eye-audio immersion to help you create space to explore your true soul goals.
Please find a comfortable place to sit, or lie down, where you will not be disturbed. The audio is just over 12 minutes and you might want to put aside around 30 minutes of undisturbed time for you to journal your experience, using the prompts below.
Before you press play, notice the thing that you want right now, where do you feel it in your body?
Take out your journal and ask yourself…
What's the next level that's available to me in my life right now?...
[Now - the big twist - Going beyond. Our true soul goals rely on us expanding. We need to go further than what we believe is safe or acceptable and in doing so, all of a sudden the big vision becomes easier to see, feel and achieve.]
Based on my previous answer, if that next level in my life was already my current reality, what would my vision be then? (Go bigger...If I was to truly ask for everything in my life that I desire and live and be in alignment, what would be going on?)
[Creating clarity for this soul goal to flow… If there is no deeper reason why for your version of aligned and authentic abundance to flow into your life, it simply can’t root and settle. We need to create a container for what you truly desire and want.]
Now that I am receiving and living that current reality in my life. I am using all that is NOW available to me for…
E.G. Investing in… Helping these people… Enjoying more… Travelling to… Saving for xyz… Loving... Living...
Knowing that my soul goal is DONE, promised and intended only for me, what version of me do I choose to bring to the table to support that result?
How does this version of me walk, talk, think and act?
What do I no longer tolerate?
What does the highest version of me choose to believe in order to support my visions manifesting and becoming reality, simply, without complication?
What would the higher version of me be doing to create these results now?
How could this be even easier?
How do I apply this now?
To start now to reach my big vision for my life, I give myself permission to be...

BONUS EXERCISE
Today's bonus exercise is to gather the essence of your Soul Goals in visual form, using Pinterest, or any means for collaging photos (Canva app, or good old-fashioned magazines and paper)!
You may not have the words for your Soul Goals yet and that's ok! But chances are you can see a little glimpse into what they look like visually for you and more importantly FEEL the energy of them. Even if you just see certain colours, textures, locations, or people - it all works here. Let your imagination roam and please share your boards/collages with the group!
We're not going for perfection, or trying to impress others. We're just building the start of a visual picture, to evoke how our Soul Goals feel for us!
When you’ve got yours, take a screenshot and share with your fellow members :)
