soul purpose

Deepest life mission

Soul purpose is a New Age or spiritual term for one's deeper calling or reason for existing—the contribution one is uniquely meant to make in life.

The phrase plays on its homophone sole purpose, suggesting that discovering this calling gives singular direction: She felt her soul purpose was to help others heal.

Common in self-help and wellness contexts.
