What is the purpose of your life? What are your motivations to go on? Why do you live your life, if for any reason at all? For yourself? For God? For anyone? Do you have any goals in your life?... etc, etc...

To live for God, my family, for anyone and for myself. I want to touch other peoples life. I want to change them for a better cause. I want to help everyone. To set a good example.

For the last six years, it's been a goal of 'move across the world and get married'. Now I've actually done that, it's time to find something else. 'Best selling novelist' is starting to sound promising...

My purpose is to help make the world better than I found it. I agree with Alice Walker, "Activism is my rent for living on the planet." I also try to follow the Bible especially Micah 6:8 "To Do Justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with God."

Life is itself a mission. I have lots of things to do. And many people have hope in their mind for me being a good person, good citizen, good child, good father, good husband, successful and honest person. I don't have any aim for being and facing old age. But I keep my aim for my youthfulness. I want to study well. And I want to be successful person. But I am still confused, in what place i want to be successful. Currently I am science student. But I am totally confused in which in field i should join and which not to. The goals are actually hidden. I just want to get success wherever i would step in future. I want to live for my happy family, I want to live for my crush who is going to be my wife, I want to live for our future kids, our future generation. I have lots of goals to complete....

To be a blessing for others. This purpose will never stop until I die. It motivates me when I see that I can have an impact in someone's life. To be the salt and the light and do it for God. Agree with you my friend. You must have a purpose in live that drive you forward just like an engine added with fuel. Without the fuel (purpose), you won't go anywhere. Be Blessed !

Ever since I was very little (probably around six or seven), I've had the impression that I am meant to be here in this life as an observer of sorts. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be observing, or for who, or why. But there has always been a distance between myself and the rest of the world, even when it comes to my friends. It's never been intentional; several times I've made attempts to cross the gap that seems to stand between myself and my loved ones. But in the end, I always end up where I "should" be, carefully observing a short distance away. It is where I feel most content, and most comfortable, and the situation where I feel the most productive in all aspects of my life. Still, it's annoying when I feel like I miss out on "typical" parts of a person's life due to this observation. Whoever charged me with this is gonna have some explaining to do in seventy or so years...
