Finding your soul purpose has a lot to do with opening your Heart Center.
Why? Because that's how you actually consistently call in Divine Energy from the Infinite Chakras above the head. I.e. from Source/ The Most High/ The Absolute, whatever you want to call it. Your purpose has to do with aligning with the Divine Will for you, because that is what being on your Path consists of.
Since the Heart Center (talking moreso Inner Heart here, but you need to start with the Heart Chakra) is the key to your connection to True Source, that's what you need to work on.
Your Soul is actually just the first chakra above the head. And your inner heart always remembers how to connect to Divine Energy - Soul, Monad, Logos, and Higher up to Infinity.
Now, just connecting to the energy from the Chakras above the head in meditation is a good start, but the reason I emphasize the heart is because, if you're only connected while you meditate, that won't do you all that much good in day-to-day situations.
Once you've got your Heart working properly, you're consistently (moving towards *always*) connected to those higher chakras, and that'll align you with the best possible outcome in any situation and thereby pull you to your Soul Purpose.
QED
A nice benefit is you'll also have a much better idea of what you should do, because anything that takes you off track simply won't feel right in your heart. Intuition will increase greatly as well in the form of knowing. Inner Heart wisdom is actually >>> third eye intuition because it is connected all the way to Spirit (as opposed to only Soul for 3rd eye).
Now, you're free to spend as long as you'd like doing whatever, but you'll never feel fully satisfied doing anything in life until you open your heart. Then, it's just a matter of removing all your energy blockages, which needs to happen to allow your heart to open progressively wider to the Divine Love that pervades existence.
And really, that's the short version of anyone and everyone's purpose - self development leading to actualization/realization of Self.
I would even go so far as to say, it doesn't matter too much what you do in daily life as long as you're always working on getting more connected, more aligned. At some point it flows, becomes obvious what you need to do, and then it's just a matter of not allowing your own shadow to stop you from doing what you need to do.
Keep in mind, some of the people on here are not really interested in this and are pursuing the idea of being a great magician /yogi / leader/ what-have-you. Some are caught up on very basic things like manifestation. Those are both ego-traps. And some are specifically here to provide misinfo.
So, be careful not to buy in to what anyone else tells you your Path entails or should look like. You need to be able to feel it yourself. And it can/will change as you get more aligned, so it's not set in stone.
Do your best in any moment and strive to do better the next.
