Someone told me that life without purpose is useless. Thats when I stsrt to realize that my life has no certain purpose so far. Becoming a doctor? Live wealthy forever? Build a happy family? Having beatiful children and grandchildren? Then finally rest in peace and go to heaven?
If thats the purpose, then I think I have the same purpose like everyone else... Thats make me live my life unpassionately.
What about you? What is the purpose of your life? Does it make you have your life in spirit? Have you manage any plan to reach your goal?

hi, i might agree with you and somehow not, reason behind this life is for you just like what you want from life, if you feel to become something or someone in life, then love someone, becasue only then you will relize how life is soo much imprtent for us and how we are too much diffrent from someone who only live without purpose.

I think my purpose of my life is to learn some important that we needed in our life,like we go to school everyday we can study about how to improve our life,study languages,writing.etc..God give us life to protect our world that he made for us.

well, thats what I think before. But more mature we are, we will find that its not enough. We have to find more specific purpose for our life

You really don't have the same purpose as everyone else. The key is to find out what things you are truly passionate about and to build your life around those things. When i decided to retire, I brainstormed about what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wanted it to be meaningful. I decided that I wanted to give back to my community, that I wanted to write mystery novels, that I wanted to live at the beach and that I wanted to travel. I then created short and long term goals to achieve them. Every day I do something that I am passionate about and I am happy and fulfilled.

Thanks Lauren, I really don't think about that before. But I'm in college now, and I just need more passion to this life. I live my life to be like my parents wants me to be. Thats really boring.
Its good to beyou that U know what U're going to do for now and later.

for me, a purpose is for what makes me happy, for me my purpose is to play basketball, video games, and make friends. when you go to making a purpose you always have to think ahead and see if it will make you happy doing the thing you choose.
