I know that my purpose in life is to be used by God to do whatever he shows me to do. Sometimes it is just being kind to someone who is facing a terrible time in their life. Other times it is cooking a good mean for my family.
If I didn't know that God cared about me and that I would someday have eternal life with him, there would be no purpose at all to my life.
If you are serious in your question, maybe you should seek God and then He will show you your purpose. The Bible, God's word says, "His word is a lamp unto my life and a light unto my feet." That means that if we read the Bible, it will be like a guide for us and show us the way through life.
I hope you find the real purpose for your life.

This question has come up to me a lot of times since I was.... seven. Yes. Seven. And I still haven't come up with a good answer. I mean-- when we die, we die. There's nothing we can do to stop it. And we loose everything. So why bother? All the moola? The dough? You're going to loose it someday.

Live happy and make the most out of my day. It's life, business, love to be inspired and to inspire others. I have to go a day to tease or joke with someone and pull off some sarcastic humor to make someone laugh. Without humor the world would be boring.

If we had no purpose in life, why were we born. Even the animals have a purpose, some serve as food, others as cleaners and some serve to make the world look beautifull. Are we not more than animals? i have found my purpose in life the day I allowed Jesus into my life. Before that I lived from day to day, got drunk and hoped for the best. Now I know that I am more than just something. I have purpose and with that a sense of belonging. It feels great to know you are a part of something that has real value. Take a chance and study the Bible and find out what your purpose is. The fact that you even raise this question must count for something, and there is more to it. Best of luck.
