Signs You’re Out of Alignment with Your Soul’s Purpose

Have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions, feeling unfulfilled despite checking all the right boxes? Maybe your business is running, and your life looks good on paper, but deep down, something feels off. That sense of being stuck, unmotivated, or even a bit lost could be a sign that you’re out of alignment with your soul’s true purpose.

know this feeling all too well. I’ve felt lost and misaligned many times in my life. It started in school, where I found myself bored, disconnected, and feeling like the entire experience was a huge waste of time and energy. But what choice did I have? Like most kids, I had to get through it.

When I went to college to study graphic design, I thought things might change. But the same feelings of disconnection, boredom, and lack of passion resurfaced. I wasn’t aligned with what I was doing, so I quit. I started jobbing, saving money, and dreaming of something that felt more like me.

That’s when I decided to go to India. I spent almost five months there, learning the Ayurvedic Health System, and attending meditation and yoga courses, and for the first time in a long time, I felt excited, passionate, and aligned with my soul again. The experience was transformative. It wasn’t just about learning new things; it was about reconnecting with my inner self and finding a path that truly resonated with who I am.

When I returned to Germany, I started my own health and wellness studio. I knew nothing about building a business or marketing it, but I felt a spark I hadn’t felt before. My artistic side and love for design, which had felt so stifled in college, now had a chance to shine. I built my first website in 2008, and I found myself loving the whole process—something I never would have imagined after my college experience.

Funny enough, I ended up working a lot with graphic design, despite finding it boring in school. This taught me a valuable lesson: sometimes, we do have a talent and passion for something, but we might not be aligned with the specific containers in which we’re learning it. I realized that some of us are freedom-loving, open-minded spirits, and the rigid structures of traditional education can block our creativity.

Instead, we need to find ways to learn and express ourselves that align with our true nature. For me, that meant creating and designing in ways that felt natural and exciting, outside the confines of a classroom.

Years later, in 2020, this journey led to the creation of my brand and web design agency. What started as a way to help myself eventually became a way to help others, as friends and family asked for my help with their marketing materials. Looking back, I see how these seemingly disconnected experiences were all guiding me toward my true purpose.
