What Is Your Purpose In Life?

[rickyv]

nobody knows why they are here because nobody knows their destiny in life, but before getting there, slow down see the sights so that you see the beauty of life

[salvo]

Before I thought my purpose was to make people around me happy and to help them around.... but now i dont know why i am still here...

[kenzji]

Liberté Egalité Fraternité

[Eraserheads]

To give internal satisfaction!

[DELISYUS]

to leave this world a slightly better place than when i found it..

 

and to touch/save at least one life before i go

[feel_the_heat]

Evolve spiritually towards the creator.

[patola18]

serve the people......

[ayatolah]

if you ever answer this question to your self seriously...i think...i can safely say na meron ka ng peace of mind cause you really know now what is your purpose in life....

ako inde pa rin...still searchin for that answer...

[freakish]

Funny that i have to stumble here and confront myself with this question...like what they say..life is a journey,a moving on, a sailing on, and man is a sailor, a searcher of his path.

Until i am near my deathbed I will never really know what my life's purpose have been. But while contemplating on that as i'm still here, healthy and kicking...

i will continue to do what i am doing..

to give love when it is needed,

to be a good person, a good friend,

a good mother, a good daughter,

a good wife.

I will take this opportunity to live my life to the fullest,

to bring joy to those around me,

to try to reach for all those childhood dreams and continue dreaming,...

to love until there's nothing to love;

and

not to question why I have to suffer through life

but simply have FAITH that every single thing

that passes my way has reasons,

and i can actually survive them.

 

And when the time comes when I have to face my Creator...then and only then I can fully say what my purpose have been..or maybe I will just rely to whoever who will make my eulogy to tell people what and who I have been and how I lived my life.

[imijin]

i have something in mind already but its not definite... in short im still confused.... maybe on my next post itl be more clear to me....

 

im still thinking deeply on this....

My father told me once that my purpose in life is to serve God. Whats your purpose?

Youre father was right. Man was created to serve and eventually praise and go back to his Creator.

 

To know more read "Cathechism of the Catholic Church" available at National. Read and learn more.

[bocha]

my purpose in life are to serve and praise GOD and an aid to my fellowmen.

[urukhai]

Do we need to have a purpose?

If we do, who instructed us to have one?

And I don't think it would just be to praise and glorify God.

Why did he have to give us freewill if that would be

our sole/ultimate purpose of existence? Just a thought.

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth....

Hi. Your signature caught my attention.

 

This dead guy who once said "wisest is he who knows he does not know" is one of the greatest minds who ever lived on this earth (I'm sure you know that).

 

It was an honest remark by him. It was no mystical or rethorical statement. It was the truth. He, like the other thinkers who came before and after him, like Socrates, Plato, Nicolas of Cusa, the Egyptians even, Johannes Kepler oddly, in trying to investigate the nature of finite things in this world, all, in the end, learned best that the more you know of the universe, the more questions who have in your mind.

 

Using this distinct capability that only man was endowed with - reason - there is this inherent drive of man to know (this passion for knowledge that has been bastardized by a consumer-culture and sex-rock-drug counterculture). Now of course, the finite will not be able to completely understand the infinite. The process these philosophers had gone through in trying to "master the universe" only ultimatley led them to the better realization that a higher being - a creator if you will - is indeed the source of everything.

 

This realization though did not stop them from achieving the genius and greatness in them. Because in the process, they learned and knew what their purpose was as human beings, distinct from all other creatures, who have this unique proportionality with God and the universe.

 

The Egyptians investigated on this proportionality. They learned, while studying the stars and heavenly bodies, that there indeed lies a "divine proportionality" that keeps everything in order and that makes true that nothing happens by accident. This same realization presented the Egyptians with a "universal physical principle" to work on in trying to establish their connection with this ultimate infinite source of all things, and their purpose on this earth.

 

Thanks for reading. Till next time.
