i think it's meaningful to think over it ever and agah in our life journey. nowadays, we are always hurried and be scaared to fall behind others. few of us pause to have a rest and rethink the original intention we have.
the result is most of us depart from our direction and lost. are we born in the world to work? of course not!
for me, the purpose of life is happiness. it comes from enjoyable activity, friends and material objects we accumulated. friends, what's your life purpose?

I think the main purpose of our life is to lead a happy and kind life.
According to me the main purposre of life is to be as helpful i can get to others. To help any person or animal that is in need.
To do what i have to with ful zest.

yes, i agree with you, sometimes to be a giver is happier than a taker. to feel that you are needed by others as well as powerful to help them really comfort us.
thanks for reply.

The purpose of my life has been a two parter actually...the first part being that I had to learn to heal from the traumas in my life and come out on top and the second part being that I am to take all that I've learned from my experiences and teach, guide others who are currently going through similar things that I have in the past...

You have mentioned what I believe is one of the keys to life and happiness.. to have goals and vision and also times of unwinding and reflection.. my biggest purpose/destiny in life is to learn and communicate..

i'm a little puzzled with your reply.i agree that hapiness is life purpose for most of us, but learn and communicate seem to be the way by which we reach our target,maybe happiness or others.
what do you think?

Well the purpose of my life is to share and be a part of other's life in the cycle called life. When I was born, my purpose is to be the joy of my parents. As I grew old, being a brother to my sister is added in my purpose... then to ba a friend, member of the class...and so on. And now, my purpose is to be a husband to my wife, and a father to my kids. Soon I will be a grandfather too... until the time that I will die.
We are here to fill each others life. To be happy and enjoy the privilege to live.

i really appreciate your response.we each are part of others.those who around affect and be affected by us. hapiness extends twice after sharing.
for our family,all that we do is to please them and make sure that they can't be better now.
to be the source of others' hapiness is part purpose of life.
enjoy your life.

welcome to mylot, my friends.
i can understand what you said. most of us taken no care of others and performanced headily when were young. however, we are far away from kids, who can be treat with unconditional tolerance.
we should take responsibility and consider others more. it's our turn to give.
young becomes to be adult only when he learns to bear with that he dislike.

Looking back on the things i have accomplished in the past years and the kind of life that i have right now, i think my purpose in life is to be happy as well but not in terms of material satisfaction. Happiness in a sense that i can share what i have with others, bringing happiness to other people. Another purpose that i think i have right now is to take care of my parents while they get older.

to be happy and nurture your child are just purpose of your life. our life are rather related to our family and society not isolated,so does our life purpose.

i think the purpose of my life is for others to learn something from me through my life experiences which is about family matters, relationships and other more that my peer could relate to. another thing is how to accept things and how not to.. how to deal life like i have. i may want to have a happy life but that is just how it is. i may be happy at times but most of the times, it just gives me tears. everyday of my life is a learning experience for me. it is a school of life that i am living in right now.

I tell myself everyday that there is a purpose to life. Sometimes it is harder to believe it then others. I like to think that this is like a class we take to learn the experiences to feel the feelings of life, And i think when your finished you don't just die but continue your education i guess i would call it some where else cause you passed this class. No one is perfect and i don't think that you should beat your self up about it i think you just try your hardest while here and whatever happens next just happens.

Sometimes I truely don't seem to know what my purpose is in this rush rush life of ours, especially when I'm just having a bad or a "blah" day. At other times though, I do agree with what you have said. It feels so nice to have family, friends, my significant other and pets to love and care for, and also be there for me when I need them. It's the simple things in life that make it worth living for happiness. The working part sucks :P
