WE ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT PURPOSE. HOPEFULLY WE FIGURE IT OUT.

The question first must be broken down into it's smaller properties.
1. What does it mean for something to have Purpose?
2. what does it mean for something to have life?
A1
for example does a chair have a purpose? one might say its purpose is to support another object (person, Dog, cat etc) if this is true then what if the chair has its legs removed and ceases to be a chair. does it then cease to have a purpose or can it still have a purpose?
A2
what is life? does something have life if it exists or must it have an awareness of its existence. The universe at the subatomic level is thought to be a mass of energy which interacts with and effects everything else within the universe and all matter including humans are made up of energy. a law of physics is that energy cannot be created or destroyed so one could conclude that when you cease to be aware of your current existence (death) you will not simply disappear but will then change your form to reflect the type of energy you then become. so i would conclude that the purpose of life is to experience your existence in whatever state that is.

Honestly, I Think It Is To Help Others And Help Others Live To Their Full Potential.
I Think You Should Just Live Life To The Fullest. Life should have amuse, or else their would be no fun. God doesn't want us to live without amuse. I'll let you figure out what I'm saying by ending with a quote

My purpose in life is to appreciate the good things that I like and endure the bad things I don't like. I do not believe in any gods. My effectiveness in achieving my purpose is measured by close friends, loving family, creation, contributing to the world somehow, strength of character, and optimism even in the face of misery.
I tend to appreciate my life, nature, and my family more and more as I get older. I am daily aware of leaving a loving and creative legacy.

Life is what you make of it. If you want to follow a god and make yourself effective for that plan so be it. That's the purpose of your life though, not everyone's. The purpose of everyone's life should be to enjoy their indivdiaul rights in their own way, particularly the pursuit of a happiness of their own choosing

Life is a gift from God, you must use it as you will to whatever degree or effectiveness you choose and you must always, always have a damn good laugh at life too or you will go crazy.

The pupose of life in general? The purpose of human life? The purpose of one, individual human life?
If the latter, then the purpose is to realize that life is, fundamentally, an illusion, a mirage. We are here to realize that our ambitions and desires are illusory. Along the way, we are called upon to to improve the illusion--to work to make the world a better place to live--even if we improve just one tiny piece of it, even if it seems pointless.
If, just once in your life, you take action to relieve the pain and suffering of another being, or to make someone happy, you have lived a purposeful life.

God is a mythical being common to most primitive belief systems. There is no credible evidence to support the existence of a supernatural being. As to life, life has no purpose other than what we give it.

Everything with a beginning needs to end. So the purpose of life is to die...
or the purpose of life is to live.
