Yes, life purpose doesn't lead to a specific career direction. For others, who might be interested, I'm reading a book, called A Passion Test, that I found in a local metaphysical library. It gives a very simple way to clarify your top passions. I found that my life purpose is actually a unifying theme for my top passions. For example, I will soon start studying for my teacher yoga certificate. I have no idea if that is my main career goal, but it's compatible with my purpose and some of my passions, such as physical fitness and exploring different levels of consciousness. Surprisingly, one of my passions turned out to be building a business. I thought maybe one of the top five should be healing or therapy, taking into account my life purpose. My point is there are different ways to express your life purpose, and the most important marker I found is your passion or what you enjoy and what you are drawn to.
