Do you think that everyone has a purpose? What would you tell someone that thinks that they do not have one? Have you figured out what yours might be? Any thoughts at all are welcome. I have always been curious on what other people think about this.

Everything has a purpose, this I believe and even when this is not so obvious at all, there is always a reason for it. It might be nothing big at all. It might just be a mistake made in the past. Don't sweat it. Cheers!!

It sometimes feels to people that they do not have one, maybe you are right.

Certainly, I do. Somehow we tend to do certain things that nobody has ever taught us or told us to. What I mean with this is that we are different and have a purpose or path in life. As an engineer student I think my purpose in life is participate in important projects that could help the world.

Hi lisa. I do believe in purpose. Everyone has one even if it's not so visible in their present. I think it may be that they bring someone into the world that needs to be here or does something for someone that effects them and their future.Our purpose can be vast and complicated but I think we have one still.The thing is..we may never know what it was.I would like to think I will know mine in this world but it may be for something my great great granchildren accomplish.I take comfort in knowing this though.

I do not feel there is a purpose. I feel that life is for fun. We should enjoy life. A purpose is impossible, because if there is a purpose then we could ask what is the purpose behind that purpose. If you say that our purpose is to please God so that then we can enter heaven, then I would ask what is the purpose of heaven. And if you say 'everlasting joy', then I will ask what is the purpose of everlasting joy.

I always believe that everyone has a purpose or more.we people are emotional animals and there must be something to motivate us to do something.everyone need to feel good so at leat that's a common goal.we do anything with a purpose some time the purpose may be just want to feel good,like donation or something.
