what is my purpose in life why am i here?

Question

be serious on this question think it over and don't just answer it there is no wrong answer

Answer 1

well I have been stuggleing with this question for such a long time.... I have even been depressed over it... but I guess you wont ever know untill your older... you should ask the question when your like 80 and the question should be "what was my purpose and what did I live for? "

Answer 2

To answer that question, you must first ask two or three other questions:

1) What is life really?
2) Who or what am I really (besides a human being)? In other words, am I a spirit, am I just chemicals? am I just a brain and body, am I part of God?
3) What is a purpose / what is a goal (hint: they are related)?

So you have to sort these things out with science or religion, or I think, a little of both actually.

I'm not going to answer these questions for you, because they are questions you have to answer for yourself. But when you find the answer to these questions, you will have the answer to the question you posed.

Good luck. You can always email me if you want more help. You can also pull up my profile and read some of my other answers to other people; it might help you. I've answered similar questions for others.

If it helps you to know, I already have the answers (for myself of course) to these questions and no longer concern myself with them. You get a mild sense of tranquility and calm confidence when you get them answered.

Have fun.

By the way -- no one can really answer those questions for you, because you have to decide what is true for you and what isn't. And this one point I'm making here is the start of the answer of "who or what am I?". It tells you something about yourself. Start there, read, study. Philosophy and religion are good fields to study, but watch out for the confusions of others. Study all religions and all philosophies, get as many perspectives as you can. I did.

Answer 3

Every one has a purpose, you just have to find what it is. Trust me this can be hard, but if you ask God or your higher being, you can get guidance. If you are not religious that's ok to. It's probably something that you are good at and really enjoy. You may have to think hard, but you will find it eventually. Good Luck!

Answer 4

to make the most of your life by making the world a better place. it also usually involves helping others and by doing something you really like to do. whether dancing, writing, counseling, guiding, teaching, building or whatever. just try to leave the world in a better place than when you came here and love yourself. most importantly be happy without it being at the expense of others.

Answer 5

Your purpose is to love and serve God by serving others. That will bring you much happiness in life.

7. How Do Muslims View the Nature of Man, the Purpose of Life and the Life Hereafter?
In the Holy Qur'aan, God teaches human beings that they were created in order to worship Him, and that the basis of all true worship is God-consciousness. Since the teachings of Islaamic encompass all aspects of life and ethics, God-consciousness is encouraged in all human affairs. Islaam makes it clear that all human acts are acts of worship if they are done for God alone and in accordance to His Divine Law. As such, worship in Islaam is not limited to religious rituals. The teachings of Islaam act as a mercy and a healing for the human soul, and such qualities as humility, sincerity, patience and charity are strongly encouraged. Additionally, Islaam condemns pride and self-righteousness, since Almighty God is the only judge of human righteousness. The Islaamic view of the nature of man is also realistic and well-balanced. Human beings are not believed to be inherently sinful, but are seen as equally capable of both good and evil. Islaam also teaches that faith and action go hand-in-hand. God has given people free-will, and the measure of one's faith is one's deeds and actions. However, human beings have also been created weak and regularly fall into sin. This is the nature of the human being as created by God in His Wisdom, and it is not inherently "corrupt" or in need of repair. This is because the avenue of repentance of always open to all human beings, and Almighty God loves the repentant sinner more than one who does not sin at all. The true balance of an Islaamic life is established by having a healthy fear of God as well as a sincere belief in His infinite Mercy. A life without fear of God leads to sin and disobedience, while believing that we have sinned so much that God will not possibly forgive us only leads to despair. In light of this, Islaam teaches that: only the misguided despair of the Mercy of their Lord. Additionally, the Holy Qur'aan, which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad, contains a great deal of teachings about the life hereafter and the Day of Judgement. Due to this, Muslims believe that all human beings will ultimately be judged by God for their beliefs and actions in their earthly lives. In judging human beings, Almighty God will be both Merciful and Just, and people will only be judged for what they were capable of. Suffice it to say that Islaam teaches that life is a test, and that all human beings will be accountable before God. A sincere belief in the life hereafter is key to leading a well-balanced life and moral. Otherwise, life is viewed as an end in itself, which causes human beings to become more selfish, materialistic and immoral..
