Reading Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, I noticed that her advice for developing a fictional character could also be helpful in finding an authentic soul path. Lamott writes, "Let your human beings follow the music they hear, and let it take them where it will. Then you may discover, when you get close enough to peer into the opening, as if into a scenic Easter egg, that your characters had something in mind all along that was brighter and much more meaningful than what you wanted to impose on them."
What's bright and meaningful to you? If you seek those things out, where could it lead you?
