The Journey of Soul Initiation by Bill Plotkin is a thorough description of the most essential things Plotkin has learned over the past 40 years about the journey to full maturity as a human being.
Bill Plotkin has the following perspective to share on purpose (my emphasis in italics):
Our Soul purpose is categorically different from our social or vocational purpose. This is one of the most common misunderstandings… Soul purpose is what we’re born to accomplish in our lifetime — the…gift we are here to offer… Although a social or vocational perspective on purpose is necessary, appropriate, and healthy…, it doesn’t derive from the depths of the psyche or go to the depths of the world, and it is not enough to build a full life on. Yet, …it’s very rare to find anything beyond this…perspective on purpose.

What am I born to accomplish in my lifetime — the gift I am here to offer? Soul, by the way, is an ecological concept for Bill Plotkin.
