I have been reading a lot of self help books lately and I am trying to find my purpose. Sometimes I think maybe focusing on my purpose to much is actually pushing me further from it. I do believe everyone has a purpose, I really want to do something to make a difference in peoples lives. I love people and helping them and making them laugh and feel better, but I am not sure what type of career or professions there are to choose from. Have any of you dealt with this same issue in your life? If any of you know of some ways that have helped you find your purpose I would love to hear about them. Have a great day!

The purpose in life is an important thing.But many people don't know their aim of the life, also as me. I think if i could find my purpose and try my best to go forward, i would be happier.

Hey, Here is one thing that everyone should get straight. Most people MUST have a purpose in life. Also if you are looking from a religious point of view, a purpose in life could include telling everyone about the soon return of Jesus, for if we do not tell anyone we will be held guilty for not telling everyone. Also we must try and help the poor, help the helpless. Hope this helps!

I've found that my purpose in life is to not die. If I wake up tomorrow alive then I've accomplished my goal for the day. People put too much into this. Find what makes you happy and try to do that. I dont get too caught up in trying to plan out my life cause I could get hit by a truck this afternoon and that would be it.
