do you believe that you are created because you have mission? when somebody died,some says that his mission in this planet was fulfilled by him. but is there any other way to determine if your mission is completed? aside from dying? :p sorry for this, i am in this stage of my life again that i feel so helpless and hopeless. I admit I have done so many bad things but I've done also good things. And now that I am a big girl, I did my best to do what is right even if it's against my will. But why did I experiencing such things that I believe I don't deserve? Some says also, that He's not giving us trials that we cannot handle. Am I that strong for Him to have this problems now? I dont have a someone to share this with, my family don't care about how I feel, my friends have their own problem that's why I don't want to add-up to them. Most of the time when I in this stage of my life, I said: why don't He just get me? take me to His place because I am tired of being like this...but there is always an echo that's keep telling me...you're done yet. It's really hard to be alone and no one to lean on. Do you any comment? feel free to share it!

we are created in this world by God for a purpose... so please do not give up on your life no matter how hard it is... please believe that there is no trials that are too big for us to handle and the most important thing is, He will never leave us through our trials and tribulations... He is always with us to guide and comfort us... so you are definitely not alone... your Heavenly Father is always watching over you... take care and have a nice day...

hi friend, i hope you're okay now. just remember that problems are always there, rich and poor could experience that. we might sometimes think that it's too much but stay strong... a problem is somewhat a shadow of life, life's identical twin, that wherever we are it's there following us.. we have lots of questions in life that remains unanswered until now, like me i have also a very big problem, and i can't tell these to my family because i don't want to add up their burdens and sorrows.. so i just have kept it myself but still not losing hope.. just don't lose hope, just remember that life is nothing without problems, after all we are still lucky we're alive.. pm me and let's talk about our problems..

I believe we are created to do our best in this world. i guess i would have to call that life's mission. We are guided on a path in life. We make the choices that will deter us or bring us joy.

Yes i believe we all have a mission in life and purpose on what we should do. And i also believe that one of them is to love others like you love yourself, love your family and love ones and take care of them. Have a family love your wife and your children raise them, do your best to give them a good life. And best of all be thankful for whatever have been given to us by the almighty. Have a nice day

Wow! I think that's exactly the reason why you are here in mylot! As you can see He lead you into this site because like what you've said, you can't talk to your family or friends regarding your depression or your dilemma. But people here in mylot always have ears and eyes to lend it to you anytime you want. You should at least feel a little relieved then Yesterday, I read one post here that says nobody thanks God when one receives a problem and instead we blame Him for that problem when in fact these problems were given to shape and mold us become a better person. Try thanking Him today for mylot and for the dilemmas that you're having, because if you're not feeling that way, you won't share it in mylot and you won't be earning! So please smile and be grateful, we are always here for you!

For me, our mission in life is to enjoy it...if you feel hardships right now, it's normal, everybody does, I sure do...but try and focus on the positive sides in your life...

I don't believe that I was "created"; I believe that I was born. The only "mission" type thing I can really say I believe in is fate, though my definition of that term dissents from what people typically think of when they hear the word. Most people think that believing in fate means believing that we have no control over our lives. I believe that we do. In my mind, there is so personal god, but only nature,karma, the transference of energy. Many people often ask the same questions as you; why do bad things happen to good people?, etc. I don't believe that He is testing us and life is just a trial; what an unfair trial it would be. I believe that "bad" things sometimes have to happen to keep the balance. For all negative energy in the world, there is an equal share of positive energy to balance it out. It doesn't judge who is bad or good, but if someone puts out negative energy, they will receive the same; what we put forth is what we get back in return. I don't really believe that bad things or good things happen to us; they are just things that happen, and their value depends greatly on how we choose to perceive them. If we choose to take our seemingly negative experiences and take something positive from it, then maybe it was a positive experience all along. To see and accept all things for what they truly are is to be enlightened. Eckhart Tolle defines enlightenment as this: (Enlightenment) is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form. I hope this has made at least a little bit of sense. lol I never claimed to be an expert at explaining things. Anyways, my point is this: It is up to you to be happy; choose happiness. :)

I don't know what my mission in life is and don't know what everyone's mission is! I do know I am frustrated with life and I really don't believe God is helping me! I feel he is ignoring me! So at this time I am angry at God! I keep trying to get over the wall,try to go under and a round. Only to fall down,hit another wall or find I can't get under the wall! I know I put to much pressure on myself and I love to be a drama queen from time to time! I never could talk to my family about my problems! I do have a few friends I can talk to but not all the time. They have their own problems to worry about! I would be on the right track if I had a good self-esteem,was finacial secure and wasn't a darn worrywart!

i strongly believe that God created us because we have a purpose (or mission) here on earth.. He wants us to do something that others can't.. but in regards to other ways of determining if our mission has already been fulfilled, we can't really say.. for as long as you're alive, make the most out of it.. but also keep in mind His commandments.. you might go through tough times in life but all of those are temporary.. God wouldn't allow you to stay on that situation for too long.. remember, everything happens for a reason.. we may never understand why, but we just have to believe that it is for our own good.. maybe beacuse God wants us to learn something from that experience, or God wants us to be strong.. so just hold on to your faith.. it may not be easy living your life.. but if you use it for God's glory, it will be worth it..
