I came across this question when I was at the local bookstore. It is the title of one of the books there. After I saw it, I begun to ask myself what I really want to do with my life and begun to set my goals in life that I want to achieve in the next few years. What about you guys? have you ever asked your self this question? Or have you ever wondered what is your real purpose in this world?

Nowadays i started to ask the same question myself not because of I have seen the title of the book but here my company is not doing well. I am worried about my pay cheques. I have commitments such as school fee for my kids, housing loan etc...... So I am worried a lot and I started to ask the same question. So this discussion is a coincidence.

Thanks for your wonderful response. I really believe that job security nowadays in not stable. That is why I am not contented being an employee, I want to have a part-time business to augment my income.

Hi, every time i ask that question to myself. I end up getting with the question "what do i want?". With so many wants that i am thingking, i sometimes end up getting confuse. But after that i realize that by doing what i want, i am knowing myself more. And though its not clear what should i do with my life. I am happy! And i think this is what should i do with my life. Happy mylotting!

You are right that sometimes life can confuse us but if we are doing what really want to do, we will feel happy and contented.

Yes, I've asked myself this question, not once but many time. Over the course of our lives, our needs change so I do not subsribe to having any specific activity to be completed in any particular period in my life. I'd prefer to plan a few years ahead and then go with the flow. It's better this way; it doesn't put the pressure on you to follow rigidly your plans. Perhaps now I may plan start a business in 5 years' time, but two years from now, I find something more exciting, so what do I do? I change my plan. I works that way for me. Not sure what others think about this though :) Cheers!

I agree with you that we need to plan ahead.
