I am sure different people will respond differently to this. Based on your personal life experiences, you will have to rply. A devout christian would say that the purpose in life is to serve God and live according to God's will. Other religious people would agree or disagree based on the different concepts of God. But what about atheists or agnostics or pantheists? What purpose in life do they have? Surely they too have a purpose in life? Well, I am sure everyone has. Each human being has, God or no God. I would like to know about your purpose in life. Thank You.

My purpose in life is to pursue my passion and achieve success and wealth through that passion. With great success and wealth, I want to contribute as much as possible to make this world a better place, and help as many people as possible. As a muslim, I also need to continuously worship God and and do good deeds and prevent bad deeds, and make the best preparation for the hereafter. So as a summary, my purpose in life is to achieve great success in the real world, whilst utilizing the time I have in this world to make the best preparation for a happy hereafter.
