life path
One's chosen direction
Life path is someone's trajectory through life—the sequence of choices, circumstances, and experiences that define their journey.
The term often implies direction or purpose: She felt called to a different life path than her parents had followed.
In numerology, a life path number is calculated from one's birthdate and supposedly reveals personality traits and destiny.
