naturally manifest a handsome income without the frenetic, profitcentered,
competitive lifestyle characteristic of the Young Soul.
Also, their financial success is often the result of what they were
engaged in brought them in alignment with their Life and Soul
purpose. (More about this in Chapter Nineteen).
Old Souls possess a level of self-assurance that is unusual for
souls in other stages. They are generally relaxed and comfortable
in their own skins. That’s not to say that they have no issues;
indeed, many do. But their issues do not dominate them in the
way that is often the case with Mature Souls. They are driven by a
need to experience self-fulfilment, joy, and true self-expression.
Old Souls tend to emanate a calm, steady quality that has
substance and depth. In comparison, Young Souls can appear
frantic and superficial and Mature Souls can seem perpetually
stressed and assailed by life. You can often hear it in the voice.
Young Souls tend to talk loud and fast, as if there’s never enough
time to get the words out and their thoughts across. Mature Souls
have a sort of soft tone that is sometimes laced with uncertainty.
But Old Souls will usually have a slow, deep, resonant voice with
a relaxed, assured and unhurried quality which happens to be
how they lead their life – relaxed, assured and unhurried.
Most of us are familiar with the saying, “The eyes are the
windows to the soul”. This is especially true of the Old Soul. Their
inner calm and depth is plainly evident in the Old Soul’s eyes.
Whereas Young Souls cannot make eye contact for long, and
Mature Souls will do so occasionally (when they’re not too
stressed or distracted), Old Souls tend to make direct eye contact
with an unflinching gaze. (Note: This is not the same as the cold
stare of a psychopath!) They are unafraid to look another in the
eyes and see into their heart.
