I think you are right that feelings of exuberance/satisfaction/delight - which you wrap up as 'joy' - show purpose fulfilled in those moments. This is my experience and observation also. I think it is the absence of these feelings that cause us to act - or to want to act - in ways that will produce them.

"Joy is a signal for purpose!"---this hack seems too simple yet is the best compass for purpose.

I like to revisit my childhood and remember what I was drawn to, what felt like fun, what got me curious.

The soul knows at a young age what it's come here to do.
