dear all, sometimes I think about this life, what is purpose in this life? some of people said that they life to love, wealth and health, but some people said that they prepare to next life (I mean life after die) then they do all the good things as long as they still life. I just think why people sometimes envy to each other though they have known their purpose. Tell me, what is your purpose? have you ever envy each other?

Each one has a specific purpose for every action and decision they make in life. One of my purposes in life is to finish my studies, have a good paying job and have my own family. For the former, I've accomplished them but the latter, I'm still searching and wanting to have. If I reach a certain age I set for myself to have my own family and I have not yet found my lifetime partner, then maybe my personal purpose is not apt for me. SO i would just shift to another option in life and that is to remain single for the rest of my life.

If my personal goal and purpose is in congruence to the plan of God for me, there is no doubt that I will have it in the future. Thank you.:-)

My main purpose is to live a Christian life, to please God. Like most people, I'm attached to this life, but I'm aware that no Christian should become too attached: they should their eye on the things of God, not of this earth. But that said, I am passionate and full of purpose with regard to many things. Perhaps I should be less so. But I'm very very attached to my family, of course, and my friends, to artistic pursuits, such as writing and music. I love to create. It all means a lot to me. But I'm not overly materialistic. I don't have many clothes - I wish I had more, but I can't afford them - or gadgets - or things in general. I pursue a relatively simple existence. But I love creativity, the arts, the intellectual life. I'm pleased with my creations. But I should perhaps be more aware that I cannot take them with me. I think about that.

Every one has his purpose. But only a little part of us knows exactly what it is. Many of us only know a concept about it. So many people like comparing himself with others, that maybe you say "envy". If you don't bore others, this "envy" is not a bad thing. Maybe you can get your purpose. What is my purpose? Maybe I want all of my family members to be happy. All what I do just get the purpose.

if you have good purpose, I think you will get the happiness.. I also want to get all the best in my life, but sometimes I doubt with myself.. then I lose my mission and vision

The purpose of my life is to be successful and live happily and safely while not forgetting my religious duties to God. I need to work hard, have faith in God and never lose hope and hopefully i will be able to reach all my objectives. It is not a simple task and we have to work for it with will and power.
