Ask This Question 7 Times to Discover Your Life Purpose

Have you ever felt like life is just passing you by?

I remember standing in my kitchen one morning, and this thought hit me like a ton of bricks: I’ve put my life on hold for 20 years. Twenty years of waiting for the perfect moment, the right circumstances, the ideal conditions to finally live the life I dreamed about.

Maybe you know that feeling too.

Today, I want to share something that changed everything for me a simple technique that helps you discover what your soul most deeply desires. And trust me, once you know that answer, everything shifts.

The Bridge Between Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

Picture this: You’re standing on one side of a bridge. On your side, there’s everything familiar your comfort zone, your current life, all the things you know. On the other side? That’s where your dreams live. That’s the life you’ve been imagining.

But here’s the thing about that bridge there’s someone standing in the middle, blocking your path. And that someone? It’s you. Or rather, it’s a version of you.

Meet Your Dweller on the Threshold

This blocking figure is called the “dweller on the threshold.” It’s made up of all your past negativity every limiting belief, every fear, every “I’m not good enough” thought you’ve ever had. It’s the accumulation of everything that’s held you back.

And here’s what most people don’t understand: You can’t fight your way past it.

The secret? You have to love it.

I know that sounds counterintuitive. How do you love the part of yourself that’s been holding you back? But when you embrace it with compassion, when you acknowledge it without judgment, something magical happens it dissolves. It steps aside. The bridge becomes clear.

The Seven-Times Question That Changes Everything

So how do you actually do this? How do you discover what your soul truly wants?

Ask yourself this question seven times: “What does my soul most deeply desire?”

Sit quietly. Ask it once. Listen for the answer. Then ask again. And again. Seven times total.

Why seven? Because the first few answers are usually what your mind thinks you should want. But by the seventh time, you’ve moved past the surface. You’ve reached the truth that lives in your soul.

For me, when I did this exercise, my answer was clear: I wanted to be a good mom and a good businesswoman. Not perfect just good. Present. Engaged. Living fully in both roles.

The Secret Ingredient: Feeling

Here’s what Neville Goddard teaches us (and what I’ve found to be absolutely true): It’s not just about knowing what you want. It’s about feeling it.

When I thought about being a good mom, I didn’t just think the words. I felt the relaxation of being present with my kids. I felt the safety of knowing I was enough. I felt the comfort of being exactly where I was supposed to be.

That feeling that’s the secret to manifestation. That’s what creates the bridge between where you are and where you’re going.

Your Comfort Zone Is Your Launchpad

Can I tell you something that might surprise you? Your comfort zone isn’t the enemy.

So many people talk about getting out of your comfort zone like it’s this terrible place you need to escape. But I see it differently. Your comfort zone is where you feel safe, relaxed, and at ease. And that’s exactly the energy you need to create from.

When you’re constantly stressed and pushing yourself beyond your limits, you’re operating from fear. But when you’re relaxed and comfortable? That’s when magic happens. That’s when you can clearly hear what your soul desires.

Start Where You Are

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to wait for the perfect moment. You just need to start asking the question.

What does your soul most deeply desire?

Ask it today. Ask it tomorrow. Keep asking until the answer becomes so clear, so undeniable, that you can’t help but move toward it.

And remember the dweller on the threshold, all those fears and doubts? They’re not your enemy. They’re just asking to be loved. When you do that, when you embrace every part of yourself with compassion, the path forward opens up naturally.

Your life isn’t passing you by. You’re exactly where you need to be, right now, to discover what comes next.

I am relaxed. I am safe. I am comfortable. I am at ease.

Say that with me. Feel it. And watch what happens.
