I am an idea of what my purpose in life is, but i am not sure if i got it right. There are may things going on and i met a lot of people, but most of them and the situations keep coming back to one same conclusion. That is how i generate the idea that i might know my purpose in life.
Anyone out there would like to share?

My purpose in life to be happy in whatever way. I know many of us have the same purpose. As you can see there are people who are happy gambling, happy in loving, happy being single and many more. Whatever the activity is, the important is to be happy.

Hello everyone,
One thing i know is that God created us for a purpose. Our primary purpose why we are here on earth is to glorify Him. Whatever we do or think, we should glorify God. He is the source of our life, and He created us for His pleasure. He created us to worship Him, to honor Him and to bring glory to His Name. I pray that everyone of us will learn to understand the real purpose of our lives. Please allow the Lord Jesus Christ to work in our lives so that everything will be according to His will and purpose in our lives.

It's been five years since my first step on my journey on finding what my purpose is. I know I am born in this life for something but I still couldn't figure it out.
I have been frustrated so many times because I feel useless at times - not knowing what your purpose in life is. But my mom would always tell me that I am still. Maybe someday, when I am finally in tuned with my life, I would come along with my real purpose in life.
So, what I do now is continuing what I need to do in life - life trying to build up a life on my own. Trying to find a good job and trying to live my life. Maybe in those process, I could find what my journey is really all about and when I finally realize it - I think it would also be the time that I would realize what my purpose really is.

I don't know whether you agree with me or not but myself having spirutual bent of mind think that the purpose of life is to know ourselves and ultimately the creator of this whole universe. This conclusion as come to me after reading so many books related to philosophy, spirituality and meta physics.

Well, actually I don't know my purpose in life. I just know that as a human being, I have to experience every stage. When in my school life, I would think that going to a better school is my purpose in life. After graduation, finding a good job is my purpose in life. So, my purpose in life would change with my age.

As of the moment I believe that my purpose in life is to provide my family with their needs. I believe that I was brought into this world to look after my parents, aunts, brothers , cousins, nieces, my grand mother and every one else that is dear to me. Sometimes, I do feel that I am giving away everything to them and nothing is being left to me. But whenever I see them happy , I feel good about it. It's nice to know that in times of need, I was the one who was bale to help them get through it. Hopefully in the future I will do the same with my own family too.

oh several things in the list, first of all making huge money to provide all basic luxuries to my two kids and lead a good happy life without financial worries, second do work to educate people about saving the environment ,mother earth. do what ever contribution I can towards the society..right now planting trees, doing small things to check pollution, social work educating people in my local area about the problems and how they can be eradicated with joining hands together, giving free legal help to poor people who are forced to legal complications and problems..but its a problem for me too because doing this I have to spend money and when not charging to the people its from my pocket so with out others helps it seems this work will not proceed further...so thinking to ask people on net for help through a blog so can have sums to use for this purpose, trying to plant fruit plants in the outcast of towns n propagating this program so monkeys and other fruit eating things survive in the small forests and do not enter the human world and get killed.

I think my purpose in life right now is to take of my parents who are getting old. I feel the need to repay all the hardships that they have done for me since I was born. It's my turn now to take care of them. Secondly, I have built my own family and has the responsibility to take care also of my husband and my child. My purpose is to share everything with my husband and nurture my child into a good person and support her to succeed also in life. Third, I feel that I have to be there always to my friends and relatives who need my support morally. When I fulfill all those purposes, I know can be truly happy in life.

i think the purpose of every persons life is defer from the others life . Some people think that earning the money is every thing but i think it not your ago of life .every one should think that we are here on the earth for to do powe good work not just enjoy . As per as the situation changes the purpose changes of the mans life . I mean when he is too younger he she has to learn the simple things like that i hope you understood. Happy mylotting.

Besides being a mother, I believe my purpose in life is to be a writer. I've had this talent and desire in me since I was little and now that I'm older, I understand how I can not only achieve my personal goals but help others along the way.
