You were created with a purpose, definitely. I'm not saying to sit around and wonder what's going to become of your life, but some people stress themselves over MAKING something of themselves, of their life, trying to MAKE their own purpose. But if it isn't what was intended, they're left feeling empty, despite their accomplishments. Live your life, and you'll be surprised what can happen while you are.

You have to make it happen. This is because you have to attain 'self realization' in other words should try to know who you are really. If you contemplate deeply you will realize that even your name is not yours because it is given by your parents and so is your body.The body is not you because after death it is thrown away(cremated or buried etc). So the body is not you. then what are you. Obviously the life which was there and which is not there after death. what is this life is it your true entity?
When you keep on your inquiry some day you will find the answer that" you are the same that is life in every thing."

No one you have ever admired achieved anything without effort. When you start doing, you allow meaning and purpose to enter into your life. Your purpose may not end up being what you planned, but you'll never know until you start doing something.

I think a lot of things in life are fate, but you have to put yourself out there and make some things happen.

If you say something is your meaning or purpose, then it will be.
If you say they aren't there yet, then that's what's true.
It seems frustratingly simple, but for me , the problem really was that I was looking "out there" to find "it."
There is no place to look and nothing to find.

Inaction is also action. You may act by choosing to wait. You fulfil your purpose just by being alive.

Im not sure we ever find our purpose. I think we do make our life what it is.

You have to make it happen. Alas.
I tried the sitting around bit. What happened was my meaning in life came along eventually, and it was 'You've got to make it happen, you moron.'

That's what I was planning to do; just wait for my purpose to come... but i guess you make your destiny, because it won't come to you

Ever heard the saying "life is what YOU MAKE IT"?
