God has sent all of us for a motive, isn't it? What is the common motive for all of us?

There is no grand purpose to life. Species tend to survive if they have the motive to survive, so we tend to have that, ourselves. However, there's no ultimate purpose beyond that.
The only purpose to your life is that which you give it yourself.

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

First and foremost is survival - shelter, food & water, sleep. Beyond that - reproduction, accptance, relationship, health.
To break life down to a motive, living seems pretty simple if all of our basic needs are met. Isn't it ironic that life tends to get more complicated the further up the more "needs" we as humans have satisfied? Perhaps self actualization happens when we are satisfied with simply being alive?

Our purpose in life is to worship God. Eccl. 12:13: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man." This will bring us the most happiness.
The psalmist David also wrote about the incoming new world and how long it would endure. He foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) That is why Jesus promised: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.
What a grand prospect that is, living forever on a paradise earth free from all wickedness, crime, sickness, sorrow, and pain! In the final book of the Bible, God’s prophetic Word summarizes this grand purpose by declaring: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It adds: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:4, 5.
Yes, God has a grand purpose in mind. It will be a new world of righteousness, an eternal paradise, foretold by the One who can and will do what he promises, for his “words are faithful and true.”
Perfect Health, Everlasting Life.
“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24.
“The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 6:23.
“Everyone exercising faith in him [will] . . . have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.
“You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43.
What a marvelous outlook for the future! What real purpose lives can now have when anchored to the solid hope that in God’s new world all of today’s problems will forever be things of the past! “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17) And how comforting to know that life then will be eternal: “God will actually swallow up death forever.”—Isaiah 25:8.
Do you want to live forever in that Paradise new world now so near? ‘What would I need to do to get God’s favor at this world’s end and live on into his new world?’ you may ask. You need to do what Jesus indicated in a prayer to God: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3.
Therefore, obtain a Bible, and confirm what you have read here. Search out others who study and teach these Bible truths. Break free from hypocritical religions that teach and do things contrary to the Bible. Learn how you, along with millions of others who are already doing God’s will, can share in God’s purpose that humans live forever on a paradise earth. And take to heart what God’s inspired Word declares about the near future: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.

Well, i think that God has a separate will for all of us.
THe common ones might be to reach out and help others.
Some others are in the ministries ( pastors, etc.)
And some are prayer warriors

We're all programmed to return to the source of life we came from and to do that requires the attainment of spiritual knowledge and enlightenment which we are programmed to seek out which is why we are on this board discussing religion.

If you actually knew God wouldn't you ask him instead of the people of the world?
