Have you found your purpose in life?

Yes, I agree with you. I have found my purpose. I believe that my God given purpose is to help people. As a volunteer at a hospital and an adult literacy tutor, I am blessed to share God's love with others by serving them. I believe that God created me for this and other special and wonderful purposes for His glory.

Hello Pose123! This discussion reminds me of my thought when I was in high school. I really love writing and I made up my mind back then that I will be a writer/novelist. But of course, as I grew up, that dream did not come true because of lack of opportunity and other life matters. Even if I did not become a writer, I still have something inside me that keeps on nagging me to write. I would like to believe that my purpose in life is to write. I just want to write and create good stories and articles for everyone :)

i am a husband and a father of a 5 year old boy... and my purpose is to make them happy. i work hard and be the best father and husband there is. of course i have my flaws and short comings but i try my best to be a good one. that is my purpose. i was a tired depress boy when i was younger. for my parents always fight and my father is not always around. now that i am a parent and i am a husband i dont like my son to experience that.

Hi Pose: These are great words. In my case, and I think it's almost the same with a lot of people too, I have found that my purpose is to listen people's problems and give some advice to guided them. That's what I do as a lawyer, helping people to find the answers and caring for them. I feel happy doing this and I don't do this only in my profession but in general just by being me. ALVARO

Mine is to develop myself in the way I like without any bounders. I don't feel the need to get rich or succesful (in the eyes of others). The only thing I want is to spend time with me and develop myself. I think that is what life is about/the meaning of life.

You sound like a very smart person. I sometimes wonder what life is supposed to be all about, what my purpose is here on this earth, but not very often. I do what I like for a living. I clean people's houses for them. Now that may not sound like a rewarding carreer to some people but to me it is. I make more money cleaning houses for people than most people I know make doing something professionsal that they spent a fortune on schooling. For example, one of my friends is a nurse and it took her 4 years of school and $60,000. Now she is making $3500 a month. I never went to school after I graduated and I make over $4000 a month and I don't have any school loans to pay back. Another one of my friends is an IT and she has 4 years of schooling and $90,000 to pay back and she makes about the same money as I do every month. I am helping other people's lives by making them easier for them, now they can spend their time with their families instead of cleaning their houses on the weekends. I make their lives easier and they make my life easier by paying me well. I wouldn't do anything else for a living. My mom got me started in this businesss as she has been doing it for about 10 years now and I saw she was earning really good money and she was feeling good about her job because she was helping others. littlemissy here signing off for now, talk to you soon my new friend

Yes, thankfully I have, I have found that for me it is gardening. Back when I was 17 I actually had my own little gardening job, I would go and work for the elderly in their gardens, digging, mowing the lawns, etc.... It was one lady who gave me plants for my own garden that really got me started. I have found that gardening is a great alleviator for my depression! Just by getting out in the fresh air and getting the joy and satisfaction of my efforts. I love planting vegetables and flowers and watching them grow, it is a great achievement. But also it's the fact that I am gardening on my own, I am a solitary person and prefer my own company and gardening is simply ideal. I have less to do in the winter months however, but certainly it has helped me immensely as someone who suffers with chronic depression.

Hi, Love is the secret of our life. fist of all we should love our God, who give us the life, and a lot of things around us for our service. we have says said " Love to be loved ". Love your work to realize a good results and get appreciation from your God and managements. Love your family, to to gain happiness. Put in your mind that having money are the method to realize your life target and results, but do not put it as your aims and visions. lastly, we should have a good relation between our God, pray for him to get pleasant, our human people around us and cooperate with them to realize our life aims, and with our self to respect our mind and body for realizing a healthy and active life.

I do think I have found my purpose...between writing and my crafting I share alot with the world! LOL...seriously. I donate tons of cards to different organizations that use them for different purposes. I love doing them though I am not rich!

A pleasant day to you Pose123, Your main topic discussion really hits me bullseye. As I am now facing a lot of trials in life. It was started when I have decided to redirect my career path six months ago. Wherein before, I was so decided to put up and raised my own small business but as the days passes by, my direction to my goal seems to go nowhere. That, my good ideas before was turned down one by one by my mother. That, the support I am expecting from her was all gone. And with the situation that I am facing now makes me depressed. Fortunately, I have a sister who still believes in my ideas. That, because of her, I find courage to go and wake up everyday. As she always gives me words of encouragement to fight and to go on with my ideas. That, she always reminds me to ignore comments coming from our mother. That, I should go on with my plans since it is me who will reap what ever the consequence of this plans at the end. And as I have read what you have wrote, "it does not matter what you do, give it because it is in you to give, everything will fall in place." Honestly, when I have read this lines, I realize somehow that I should go on with my plans. That is to continue to put up my small business, to be a poem writer and a junior photographer. Believing that one day, God will turn all of this into reality. That everything will fall into its proper place.

I believe my calling in life is to be a blessing to people. In simple ways. I love to give gifts, espeically homemade gifts, and I like to do things to put a smile on people's faces as well. But I don't think I'm to be famous or anything. I think we should be doing that stuff anyway as a society, and I'd like to bring that back.

I agree to your statement. Every individual is given a specific function by our Creator, and all this purpose where meant for His glory. As for me, I can see a vision of what is my task here on Earth.Singing and performing are my lines of interest as of now, but, after those times of thinking and asking wisdoms from Him of what does He wants me reaally to be, I heard Him says, one day, when your grown enough, riped enough from the experiences of life, you'lll be mine forever.You are going to used your songs to give praise to me and encourage your fellow what are the true necissities in life. That its not those earthly things, but their faith in Me....I bow to this vision, its reall an honor to be given such precious gift for a very rare and specific purpose...

I honestly belive mine was to bring my 6 months beautiful daughter into this world, and to provide her whatever she needs to be healthy and happy!

serve to god do what god says not doing what god said not
