That is a really common question actually. I think you'd be surprised how many people are in the same boat. It's not impossible though, you know, to know the purpose for life. There's actually a book in the Bible that deals directly with that question. It's Ecclesiastes (the name is probably longer than the book in case you were worried ;) ). The writer talks about all these things he tried to find meaning in his life...wealth, wisdom, living it up, people, anything you can think of he tries it. But nothing brought that satisfaction we're all hungry for. However, in the end of the book, he does come to an interesting conclusion. I would tell you, but that might give it away. :) Read it, it's only 12 chapters, well worth the time involved. We could discuss it later if you want.

I still wonder form time to time. I think it is really a difficult task to figure out what your purpose is in life. I am 30 and I really do not know.

bullane, Every day I question things like this. Life can be a hassle one day and almost a "bed of roses" the next. Some days I think my purpose must be to feel pain and always be on the losing end of life... The only thing thing that I feel secure in is using my words. Sometimes I think I am supposed to be carving something in stone that will last for many years. But, I want to touch the heart and soul of people now. Is there really a purpose for me? If so, am I not near my journeys end? There will be no offspring from me to carry on so why am I still here? Gosh, sorry... my mood is on the downside right now!
