The only thing that makes it to the grave is the shell you are leaving behind.
What you take with you is everything that you have accumulated in this life stored in your mind and heart. All things come from "God" and all things go back to "God".
It is said that mankind has machines sensitive enough to now measure the weight of the 'soul' leaving the body. For such a small weight, it holds a wealth of information.
Life is short. You can't take wealth or material belongings. All you take with you is what you have learned and who you have been in this life.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Keep learning, only a fool thinks he knows it all. The people you touch throughout your life will carry the memory of you forward... what will you be remembered for?

The real purpose of my life is to live it.
Every decision and move I make, impacts this life.
This silly answer will impact someone (maybe just me).
I choose to live my life in stark. complete, honesty and truth on my way to continue to be with my creator for time everlasting.
I live my life to find and do GOD's will.
So I have to say that I will bring a lot to the grave. I will be bringing a lifetime of choices and the results of those choices. Its all I have and its all I need.
I am a Christian

What I've done with my past has already been judged and nothing can change it. My present is as it is. The purpose of my life, therefore, is in my future. I want to teach my grandsons what should be important in life--finding happiness in themselves and their love for their families, fulfillment--whether it's a satisfying job or just coming home at night to play with their kids or to play the piano to relax and lose themselves in another world. I want them to know the meaning of compassion by giving up what they want but don't really need and using the money to give to those who are in want. Basically I want them to be able to look back on their lives when their time comes to leave this earth and be proud of what and who they are.

I"m a child of God. He sent me here to go to school. We aren't meant to remain as children. (Ephesians 4:14a) He wants us to grow up.....like Christ in everything.
God knew what He was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son.....We see the original and intended shape of our lives there in Him, Romans 8:29. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created.
He watches us growing and serving Him and it gives Him joy, and the serving and worship we give brings us great joy. I could go on, but I've really said way to much already. sorry.....

My main purpose is to find the Way out of the grave which is this world in which we now dwell.

we are here on earth for a purpose to live our lives. now after life is different how would you like to live it depends on you we have God for instance that gave his son to die on the cross for our sins then there also hell where people will go if they reject the word of God. but it sounds like to live a life to what God wants. not really drinking and parting and having fun doing stuff crazy and wild and stuff crazy sex with people or stuff like that may sound good to me at one point was good i thought i had everything money cars women but i still felt empty in my heart i thought i had it all and i really didn't i needed Jesus in my heart once i accepted God that emptyness went away i fell more alive i feel happy the bible talk about peace God give in John 14 verse 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. i want to serve God because i know he is real and i know for a fact how he has blessed me and i know he is comming soon and like everything in this world when something dies out then people tend to forget about it. it just many many years ago the bible was written and every year or so they update it but its still the number one seller for books. if you really want to know what is your purpose in life Accept God as your personal savior and confess to God your sins and ask God what is your purpose in life ans he will tell you in dreams or while reading the bible or anything else that may come up God bless you any questions write to me God bless you

The only purpose for humans on this planet is to know, to love, and to serve God. And if I have time after that get my 12-year-old to read better.

living the best way we could. achieving goals, helping those in need, making friends, falling in love, studying, working, having kids, being with your family, traveling, trying new things, wondering why the sky is blue, sleeping, dreaming, fighting your best friend, buying a new car, praying to GOD, paying your credit cards, getting a new job, getting promoted, crying, laughing, attending someones funeral, emailing a friend, chatting online with a total stranger that you call friend, getting reach, watching TV, reading a book, singing a song, dancing to a nice tune.... a lot of purpose why we are here... not just one. relax, live yours...

To enjoy the life and creation God has given to me. Up to the end of my life, I hope to have as much fun and do as little harm as possible with all God has given me.
After I am gone, nobody might recall me, but that is alright. God will, as he alway has and always will, know and love me. How can I not do the same for him?
