What is your own purpose in life?

Most people spend years aimlessly wandering, trying to find their place in this world. Have you found yours? If not, are you on the path to self discovery? And if you had your choice, what would it be?

I came to Earth to experience the joy it has to offer....that's it...

Ive never been a very deep person but i have always conceived my purpose in life as being a real person, making others laugh at my spontinaity, loving unconditionally, and overall living my life the way i see fit, not as a so called divine force says i should, so all in all my purpose in life is to just be myself in every way i can.

I am just really really finding this out.After 52 years of life I was just here just going day to day but since I have found God I see so much more. To really feel . To want to help others feel good.To show others a better way.

still working on that i will get back to you.....whenever

I'm currently on the path to discovering my purpose. My choice would be to give love to and receive love from others. I suppose I do both now, but I can give more and have some progress to make on receiving it.

Believing in the kids no one else believes in. Corny, I know, but true.

My purpose in life is to be respectful to those who deserve respect. Use all the Talent I have to entertain, and perhaps help someone with the music I make. Also, apparently my original meaning was to distroy my mums early twenties with responsibility.

i live to love. then to infect others with it.

i honestly have no clue other than trying to be a good parent...and a generally good egg

My place is the present moment. Over the years I've had that feeling of not being happy with the way things were (restlessness). I was always wondering why I was doing the job I was doing, isn't there something bigger, better, or more meaningful that I'm supposed to be doing. Do I need to climb the corporate ladder, get more money, more stuff, be a leader etc.. But since I've started reading Eckhart Tolle's books and teaching I've found a lot more peace with the way things are. I think he's on to something when he says make friends with the present moment and accept what is. It doesn't mean you can't work to change or improve your life circumstances. I think I'm more alert and open to opportunities now that I was in the past.

goo_goo_muck; can I come over for dinner? I know people with a passion for things physical, which is not usually purposeful, unless its something like mountain climbing that can lead to improvements in being and consciousness, but most people I've known lean toward the aimless. I do feel fortunate to have met many good people too. As for me, I thought I had made my choice a few times, but it seems I find myself wandering again and again. But its more about the journey isn't it? I always wanted to be a teacher, but recently I realized I wanted to be a guy out in the wilderness somewhere who others who seek out and ask me life's big question. (I know, pretty conceited). But along the way I have been someone who does try to continually learn, and pass along what I find as I go, to anyone who shares the same passion. Hopefully I've made the path a little less difficult for the next guy. Maybe by recommending a good book, or maybe by actually cutting down some brush in the actual wilderness.

Not s******g up everyone elses.

I just want to be more useful than burdensome. If I can swing that, I'll be doing okay.

I realize how dreadfully vague this sounds. Just last week I was having this conversation with my sister and I realized that I want my life to be as joyful and productive as possible. If I can swing it, I believe that IS the purpose.
