An old soul’s view of life is very different and more mature than many others. They are vital to the evolution of our collective consciousness, the old soul lives life internally, following a lonely path while lighting a path for others. If you have been told that you are wise beyond your years, you may be an old soul, but if you are not sure if your soul is “old” or not, these 10 signs will tell you:
10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE AN OLD SOUL
1. YOU TRAVEL AN INDEPENDENT PATH.
Because old souls are not interested in the activities and interests of people in their age groups, they find it hard to make friends with people they can’t relate to.
This can become a potential problem, as an old soul can often find themselves alone. But, many old souls see the true value of their own company.
This introverted nature doesn’t really come from a social bias or bad temper, it’s simply a sign of having an old soul.
2. THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND TRUTH.
The old soul is naturally attracted to intellect, wisdom and philosophy. For an old soul, frivolous and superficial lifestyles have little or no meaning or value, because their own path to enlightenment is actively sought through wisdom, happiness, and truth.
3. YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY INCLINED.
The old soul has been finely tuned into their larger intuition and guides. This can have the effect of creating heightened spiritual and emotional senses as they realize their place in life.
However, an old soul prefers this life, knowing that it is more fulfilling for them to pursue love, enlightenment, and peace.
4. YOU DID NOT “FIT IN” TO KIDS YOUR AGE.
If he got along with adults as a child more than with other children, he might as well be an old soul. An old soul is not as engrossed in the interests of others in their age group and therefore find it more difficult to make friends with them, which can be problematic for them at times because they may feel like an outsider.
They are also often misunderstood by others. For example, adults may have considered him shy or awkward around other children his age. However, his inquisitive, mature and intelligent nature has drawn you to older people who show more intelligence and wisdom than his age group. And if you’re the parent of a child who responds best when he’s around adults, you may realize that they, too, are an old soul.
5. YOU OFTEN REFLECT YOUR INNER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.
Old souls have learned so many lessons through their spiritual cycle that they often take time to reflect on their actions and the actions of the people around them. This ability serves as a great teacher of life and, in turn, makes them clearly perceptive of their surroundings.
6. YOU SEE EVERYTHING WITH PERSPECTIVE.
Like a small cog in a great machine, old souls realize that they are a small but integral part of life. They see from a higher perspective when they approach life, and realize that they are one with all that is, as they aim to align themselves, and their actions, with that of the highest good.
When problems confront the old soul, they simply see each other as a passing cloud that will only reveal the sun once more. This helps lead them through life with a placid nature.
7. YOU HAVE A VOICE WITH A HUMANITARIAN SENSE
Old souls often act as representatives of humanity through their own creative expression. They represent the mental activities of society through the liberal arts, giving voice to the thoughts of the culture as a whole. Throughout history, many sages have connected us through a representation of their visualization in the most creative way. The old soul finds satisfaction in this self-expression. Their creativity, knowledge and intuitive nature impact those they meet and spread through humanity.
8. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS SHORT.
An old soul is always reminded of mortality, that this physical realm is only temporary. They make the most of every moment. Although this may lead the old soul to be withdrawn, the inner loneliness and growing detachment give them clarity.
9. YOU ARE NOT MATERIALISTIC.
The old soul focuses more on the beauty and value that life naturally provides rather than the short-lived joys of material possessions.
They respect Mother Earth and strive to get by with only what they need for her fulfillment. For them, what nature provides is much more valuable than any social status, the latest trends or anything else that is not earthly.
10. YOU JUST “FEEL” OLD
As you quietly walk your way seeking fulfillment, you may find yourself low on energy compared to the younger souls around you.
Just like a person who is old in age, your old soul has already experienced a lot and is not excited about the trivial things in life. For an old soul, relaxing in a quiet environment is the best.
