I can guide you with 2/3 of your answer.
Purpose:
#1 Is to serve others and your Self
#2 Using the gifts, strengths, talents you were born with
#3 What they are only you and the creator know so this one you have to figure out. Hint: whatever they are you have done them over and over again since you were born, but probably in different forms, so reflect.

A good book to read about this (after praying for guidance) is The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. There is even an additional journal to write your thoughts down.

By surviving all the things our world will throw at you, since the concept of our society is to go out and find something your good at, because sure we all have talent, but can or is it marketable, like maybe you are a great writer but no one will ever buy you novel, so maybe your just a story teller. The ruination of the world corporations, they have no good intentions, because in their world its do or die. So what if you have all types of talent and still wind up be a clerk at the 7/11, disappointing perhaps but true fact we are here to serve the money people, not all of us have a marketable life purpose.

Look for the signs..God posts them all the time we are just sometimes to busy to notice. Does the same things keep popping up, not a coincidence! He has to educate us with the things we need to full fill those life purposes. Be open and walk towards it.

Study Metaphysics. How spiritual forces affect our lives.
Astrology, numerology, etc. Just don't get obsessed with it
and make it ones religion. These things are just tools, and
blindly following them makes us victims of Fate.
My numbers said I am supposed to become a leader. There
are many books that tell us about peoples missions when they
come into this world. Some come to be a "pain in the butt"!
To teach us patience, and tolerance.
Crazy isn't it?

There is no life's purpose to find. That is something you have to create for yourself. Nobody can do this for you, because what you value is different than what others value. You have to figure out what you want to do in your life.

God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time (at least in the way you probably mean it). God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for Him and experience the joy of His presence every day.
The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives‐but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness. But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).
But God has another way for us—His way! It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness. Not only that, but His path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross. On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with His love.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask Him to come into your life. Then ask Him to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to Him and allow His Word, the Bible, to shape your life every day.
I don't know what path is best for you right now—but the most important recommendation I can give you is to seek God's will for your future.
You see, God knows all about you, and He also knows what's best for you. After all, He created you, and He gave you a unique set of abilities and opportunities. Don't drift through life, aimlessly going from one thing to another and constantly wondering if there is any sense to it all. Instead, seek God's will and make it your goal to follow Him. His way is always best.
How do you find God's will? Begin by making sure of your relationship with Him. If you have never done so, turn to Christ and ask Him to come into your life as your personal Savior and Lord. God's very first desire for you is that you would come to Christ and become part of His family forever.
Then ask God to guide you as you plan your future. Pray about it, seek the advice of others who know you, investigate your options, evaluate your abilities and interests, and ask God to open the right doors. No, He may not show you the whole road map—but He will guide you as you take the next step. The Bible says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6). This is God's promise to you as you seek His will. God bless you.

an example of our family beliefs is, each one of us must think of our own tereinga (spiritual) thoughts, because each one of us needs to discover the meaning of life for ourselves.
