There are two important things to life...
1) You have to be born... Without that there is nothing.
2) Death... Without that, you truly can't live. Knowing that someday I will die, inspires me to be the best I can be.
Treat people with respect, Learn something new every day, Keep your head up even when you are down. There is no time to regret mistakes, and there is no reason to, (life is short, so don't dwell on what you have done. Just learn from it). Find someone who understands you, and have good chemistry with... Settle down with them, and start a family. Take the time to smell the flowers, because time really does fly if you get too caught up in things. Always look for the comedy in things. You will be a happier, more pleasant person.
Follow these things, and you will get what you are looking for.

That is subject to your perception. I hold Four things important, I figure them with the understanding of what you really have in life vs. what you might possibly have in the after life. Your family, your friends ( the family your create ), love ( soul mate thing ), and of course god. These are subject to whoever reads it as being important or not, but I feel these four things always make a life worth living no matter what life hands you.

It is most important to leave this life a little better than when you found it. And it is not about "getting", it is very much about giving. So I guess you get the satisfaction of knowing that when you are gone, you had some role in creating positive change somewhere in this world.

the thing that matters the most to you, -(if you are honest) is your emotional state.
what you want to be experiencing is love, happiness, etc.
these are-
internal, -(not external)
now, -(not in the future)
a function of consciousness -(not of thoughts-although you can make them dependant on this)
to be happy, beyond conditionally dependant happiness
you must be at peace
you cant be happy if you arent at peace
so first you must learn how to be at peace, without the circumstances of your life being neccessarily conducive
this is simple
if you are looking for peace
dont look for anything other than the state you are in right this second
if you can accept where you are right now in its entirty
you will be at peace
-(acceptance doesnt mean you dont change things)
when you are at peace
you can with sympathy, intelligence, wisdom and poise effect all other things in life
however it is the quality of your being now
that determines the quality of your actions
that determines what you get
not vice versa
the most important thing in life is always the inner life
and skillful living
has a lot to do with compassion, love and peace
if you have peace in your heart and mind
all other things will follow
if you dont have peace in your heart and mind
you can have all things
but have nothing

I'm sure everybody would have a different answer to this one! My answer is you were put on this earth to do God's work. Every single person has some talent that they're blessed with. You can either abuse it or use it. If you go through your life putting God first, He will direct you in the right direction. Some people go through life so lost and unhappy, but if you put Him in control, you will be amazed with the results.

living with a pure soul....Kindness, consideration and a genuine willingness to help someone in need that truly needs assistance (emotionally, physically etc.)
I know that that sounds REALLY gooey, but materialism in our dog eat dog society can leave ya a little unfullfilled!!
(Don't misunderstand, I still love my creature comforts and BMWs) lol I like to share though!
