How do you find your purpose in life?

Question

What are some examples of purpose in life?

Answer 1

my purpose in life, thus far, is to help others and cause peace around me.  there is so much anger and wrongness and hatred in this world.  i like to try to give serenity.  how i found this, is with my kids.  i want them to be good people in this world, so i try to pour my goodness (whatever i can gather) into them.  its the ripple theory.  one action influences another... as in you smile at some stranger, they feel better, then they smile at another person, that person feels good, they do a kindness for someone else, etc.

i'm also fueled by me belief in Karma.  one good turn deserves another, what you give into this world is what you get out of it.

Answer 2

Everyone's purpose is different.

A person's purpose may be to teach and change lives. It may be to accomplish some type of goal. It may be to die to teach a lesson.

There was this kid I knew and we live on a river. Well, one day the kid and his friends were crewing around by the river. He hit his head, fell into the water, and drowned. I do not believe his death was in vain. It shows that you must be careful. It shows that the river is a mighty thing that can easily take your life. We all learned from his unfortunate death.

Answer 6

Follow your bliss - or to put it another way - remember your passion.

The Truth about each of us is the unique abstract experience every individual longs for.  No two people are alike.  We are WHAT we love, but this sometimes takes a while to discern or bump into because it can rarely be defined as an occupation.
