Is there an instance in your life that you posed and asked yourself this question? "What is my purpose?"
Don't know... don't care... as long as I live it without hurting others and face the consequences of every action that I made, I soon find this purpose!

I had always been wondering what that purpose could mean for me. And it led me to a very long search, well in fact my search continues. I don't perfectly know what it is but one thing that I am certain of is that I am definitely created for God's divine purpose and unto Him I trust my entirety. I am meant to serve Him through the people I encounter in every day of my life, may it be a family, a friend or a total stranger... Just try to pay attention in the small details and you will soon realize your own purpose and how you are responding to it.

Yes, we can never find this purpose until we stop searching for it. However, finding it takes time, effort, challenges, and risk. To be honest, I don't have the patient to wait for the time, I don't have the time to do this effort, I hate challenges and I am afraid to take a risk. With these attitude, it will be very difficult to find my purpose.

One finds it difficult to find his/her purpose in life basically because of unwillingness. Yes, it requires a little effort. But you see, it's for your own advantage and not for anybody else. Anyway, our God is just around waiting to be noticed; He surely knows your way... just let Him in. A few minutes of silence will help you.

yes i had that question 5 years ago.. and i already had the answer this time. it was not easy finding the answer to it though. but it is very comforting to be doing so.. hmmm. i had found my purpose when i commit myself to the Lord. only Him did i ever find the purpose. i hope to you too. it is not just good to live without hurting others. but to also live for the Lord as well.

I do admire people like you that are willing to give up everything for the Lord. I just want to be honest here, I am not that kinda religious guy but I believe in God in fact, I am an active member of a religious organization until now. The problem is, I am not a practicing catholic. My action is some what opposite to the church teaching. Are you a missionary or something? I also have that dream before way back in my high school years. But things changes. Maybe because of what I heard bad things about priesthood. I can serve the Lord in my own way

I guess that is a lifelong quest and many times in our lives we really don't realize it that we are already in the midst of our purpose in our lives we just have to be aware of our experiences and you might be living your purpose already.
