What is your life purpose?

When I was young, I thought I would have a good life. I made plans, I wanted to study abroad, worked as a psychologist, or at least had a good job. I wanted to be rich.
But as I grow older, I learned life lessons that make me who I am now. I didn't have a chance to go to college or study abroad, but I got experiences from doing so many jobs. I am still not rich, but I have family here with me, I don't have fancy job but I can do what I like, and more.
Even though I don't have what I want, I'm happy that I can help other people. I also learned that life is not about money, popularity and being on the top. But it's about how you impact and inspire others.
Blessed to be a blessing.
Thank you for reading! I hope you are living your best life.
Good day. <3

I wanted to be an artist, get married and have 2 kids, one of each, which I would call Michael, after my Dad, and Crystal, just because I thought it was a beautiful name. Now, I still want to be an artist and get married, but I won't be having any kids now because I am too old. And now I want to go and live in Cardiff.

At this time of my life, my only hope is to die with not much pain if that can be done.

Very well said, I think our purpose in life is something that brings joy to our life. Life on earth is just a short trip.

Sometimes I wonder about life purpose.
Have we really got some type of an individual purpose, or mission, for our lives here, or not?
I would say that life purpose comes from living a purposeful life, and then you connect to a goal, or to a mission, which is not there, until you look for it within your purpose.
Purpose and mission are connected, and when you live with purpose, at whatever you are doing, your purpose will more come to you in the end, as it develops by right effort, and right living, right alongside of you, when you allow life to live fully in you, and you fully in it.
