After how many years of existence in this world, what do you think is the purpose of your life? As for me, I believe that my purpose is to share God's love to my neighbor. Furthermore, I have to follow His teachings and commandments. How about you? What do you think is your purpose in living on earth?

I believe that the purpose of live is to experience, learn, and love. So how do you share God's love with your neighbor? What exactly does that entail?

You treat them as you yourself would want to be treated, with kindness & love. Help them when they may need some help & so on & so on. This was one of the things that Jesus preached about while on earth. We are all neighbors whether we live next door to each other or not. We are ALL God's children.

This question tends to have religious connotation and somehow it's getting common around mylot. I have seen this discussion before. The purpose of life can cover multitudes. I would strive to enjoy life as much as possible. I would love to serve and help others as well.

I think my primary purpose in life now is to educate women on how to survive even in the face of ovarian cancer. The first time it happened to me, I started telling people what to look for so that maybe their disease could be discovered a little sooner so that they could have a better quality of life. Now that I have had a recurrence, that purpose is even stronger than it was before. I know that it is possible to pass information on without making people feel sorry for you, but some people thrive on people's reactions to their suffering. I hope that people realize that many women do in fact get various types of cancer that could lead them down the long road to recovery while others never make it that far. I hope to show that by following that road that survival is possible, even if it isn't very comfortable.

Hi aresh, I really have no idea. I just came in without the barest knowledge why I am here but to struggle mightily to make ends meet. When one has no option but to survive on a daily basis, questions such as this are better left alone. Anyway thanks for the opportunity to see life other than survival.

Our purpose is to find our Creator God that can be found in the Holy Bible. Reading the Holy Bible is worshiping God. You can fully understand the Holy Bible if you surrender your life to God by accepting the LORD JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR. I was once lost and now I'm found by God's mercy when I seek HIM. Truly, you can be sure of salvation if you follow God's Words. Amen!

I do believe the same thing that you do. I do believe that God has created me to serve Him and serve others to the talent that He has given me. I do also believe that by following the God's rules through Bible( God's Love Letter to us)and the presence of His Holy Spirit I can be a better person than I am right now until such time that my assignment here on Earth has been fulfilled I am going to Heaven to be with Him and will receive His reward.

I still haven't got the exact view of my purpose of existence. I hope i get the answer soon though. One of them would be to make my parents/family happy and proud.

I think the main purpose of life are some money and satisfaction and mainly you have to do something to your surroundings by the way you would be in their hearts for ever.
