Have you ever felt a deep inner urge to dedicate yourself to serving humanity?
Have you ever felt like you can make a real difference in the world around you?
That you can make things better through kindness and compassion – through love.
If so, you might be a lightworker.
What Exactly Is a Lightworker?
A lightworker is a person in service of humanity.
Their lives are devoted to helping others, sacrificing their needs to achieve a higher goal.
Compassionate, forgiving, and all-loving, lightworkers answer to a higher purpose.
They radiate love, show support, and stop at nothing to alleviate hardship.
They’re sensitive and ever-eager to help those in need.
Can anyone become a lightworker? Or is it predestined? Yes, anyone can become a lightworker – but it’s not simple. It takes sacrifice. And it can be quite challenging.
But a lightworker doesn’t hesitate to embrace the calling and the challenges it brings.
Still not sure if you’re a lightworker? The signs are there, but you’re just not certain.
Don’t worry. We’re here to help.
Here are 9 clear signs you’re a lightworker (and how to embrace it).
9. You Just Know You’re Destined for More
No two ways about it. You feel it. You’re destined for greatness.
You can’t stand still. You’re never complacent and always on your toes.
You sense you can make a difference and fight tooth and nail to realize your vision.
Sometimes, you’re not certain what you’re meant to do – but indecision never overstays its welcome. These brief spells of uncertainty fuel you. They compel you to dig deep.
Although you can’t change the world, you know you can better it. And you do.
Every act of kindness and compassion fans the flames of passion within you.
You’re at war with everything ordinary, determined to leave your mark.
And you won’t stop at nothing to realize your potential.
That’s the perk of being a lightworker. Your purpose and potential are clear as day.
8. You Empathize Effortlessly
Lightworkers are curious and attentive to others. Yes, even to strangers.
If you’re a lightworker, you’re a good listener, always eager to hear other people’s stories.
You understand them on an emotional (and spiritual) level.
But it’s not just about understanding what someone’s going through.
It’s about feeling their energy shifts – their emotions – within you.
That’s what moves you. You take a part of their energy and experience it. Yes, sometimes it can drain you. That’s why we often hear about lightworkers running out of energy.
You need to know that there’s only so much you can bear. Everyone has limits.
You feel everything intensely. So, don’t feel everything all at once. Take care of yourself.
7. You Had Your Fair Share of Suffering
While everyone goes through hardship, lightworkers usually get the brunt of it.
Why? Because workers of light need a firm grasp of suffering.
How could anyone help another soul if they can’t help themselves?
Lightworkers learn this the hard way.
Challenge after challenge, they toil, struggle, and, most importantly, endure.
Over time, all that suffering turns into spiritual growth that helps them on their journey.
They devise clever ways to help others, relying on their hard-earned experience.
So, if that strikes a familiar chord, you might be destined for lightworking.
6. You’re Connected to Everyone and Everything
Most awakened souls, but especially workers of light, can perceive oneness.
You’ve probably heard about it. But what exactly is oneness?
It means that everything is connected. Hurt someone else, and you hurt yourself. Step on a bug, and you step on yourself. Wish harm on someone and – well, you get the gist of it.
Because of this, lightworkers are highly attuned to the energies within and around them.
Helping others helps them. And helping themselves helps others.
When you perceive oneness and embrace it, it opens up new spiritual pathways.
Every lightworker needs to master this lesson to fulfill their purpose.

5. You’re Highly Intuitive
Do you ever feel like you know something but can’t explain how?
You come up with solutions on a whim, trusting your inner guidance.
If so, chances are you might be a lightworker.
Everyone has a sixth sense. But with lightworkers, it’s amplified tenfold.
A lightworker’s intuition isn’t a quiet voice in their mind. No, it’s more advanced.
Lightworkers are highly intuitive and can access their inner compass effortlessly.
This allows them to act decisively where others would hesitate or doubt themselves.
Thanks to your intuition, you always know the right thing to do.
Plus, you’re always there to help those in need.
It’s your greatest ally in your mission to heal and better the world.
4. You’re Attuned to the Natural World
If you’re a lightworker, spending time outdoors feels like home.
It’s where you find your peace, harmony, and spiritual fulfillment.
You love nature and can’t get enough of it, no matter how much time you spend there.
Nature embodies healing. Nature is healing. But what makes it appealing to lightworkers?
It’s because lightworkers desire to protect nature – to preserve it.
To them, it’s like taking care of a person. That’s why they often live eco-friendly lifestyles.
3. You’re an Old Soul
What does it mean to have an old soul, exactly?
It means you have an ever-expansive perspective on life and its meanings.
You prioritize spirituality over materialism, often dismissing it as harmful and distracting.
You’re empathic, intuitive, and compassionate – the whole deal.
But, most importantly, most of your time is spent contemplating life.
And lightworkers do so often because they’re obsessed with their soul purpose.
If you’ve got an old soul, you likely crave to heal the world.
2. You’re Not Afraid of the Dark
Lightworkers work with light. Clearly.
They’re kind, loving, forgiving, and always ready to help.
But to help others – they mustn’t be afraid of the dark. Not in the literal sense, of course.
Specifically, they aren’t afraid of confronting their fears and doubts.
And they never hesitate to address the darkness in others to help guide them to the light.
1. You’ve Shattered Your Ego
Every lightworker must shed their ego to adopt their purpose.
And there are many ways to accomplish that. It’s up to you to determine the means.
It’s never simple to break the ego because we’re so attached.
But, ultimately, it can make or break your journey as a lightworker.
And if you’ve already made a few crucial steps, you might already be a lightworker.
