Not seeing the wood, for the trees How can I clearly see the lessons my soul needs to learn this lifetime?  I am a householder who has a wonderful life in New Zealand. There have been difficult times too, but even though, as a child I suffered, I was able to self soothe with meditation which I have no idea how I discovered. I have carried this practise with me through my life. Happy as I am, I have this feeling that I am not seeing clearly , the things my soul needs to work on this reincarnation. How can I make sure I don’t waste this rebirth?
Work on testing the credibility of these assumptions: soul, I, me ,mine, "I am happy" etc.  Practice Satipatthana meditation to get the answers you are looking for,
