Your purpose is yourself.

2006-12-11 23:27:20 · answer #1 · answered by atestari 1 · 0 0

Nobody knows the purpose for sure ..... but you are the only one who admits openly to not knowing.

One opinion says that not knowing the purpose is what keeps the life going .... if you knew the ultimate purpose, you may well lose all interest in living any more. It is like if you know the last scene of a suspense movie, you lose interest.

So, I just enjoy trying to find out the purpose and meanwhile, eat, drink and make merry!!

Merry Christmas to you!!!.

Some people don't have a purpose, others do. Don't know you, so I cannot say what your purpose is or even if you have one.

Most people asked this question "WHY AM I LIVING FOR?" And for what purpose I was made for. I would advice you to read this book "THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE" by Dr. Ric warren. I have given this book to others as a christmas gift in advance for them to realized the truth of the matter before christimas time.

About the Author

Dr. Ric Warren is passionate about attacking what he calls the five "Global Goliaths" – spiritual emptiness, egocentric leadership, extreme poverty, pandemic disease, and illiteracy/poor education. His goal is a second Reformation by restoring responsibility in people, credibility in churches, and civility in culture. He is a pastor, global strategist, theologian, and philanthropist. He’s been often named " America's most influential spiritual leader" and “ America’s Pastor.”

The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams however, the starting place must be with God and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God’s purposes for putting us on earth.

And what is this purposes:

1) We were planned for God’s pleasure, so your first purpose is to offer real worship.

2) We were formed for God’s family, so your second purpose is to enjoy real fellowship.

3) We were created to become like Christ, so your third purpose is to learn real discipleship.

4) We were shaped for serving God, so your fourth purpose is to practice real ministry.

5) We were made for a mission, so your fifth purpose is to live out real evangelism.

All this things you can find in the book called "Purpose driven life" each one is expalined thoroughly.

I am not commercilizing this book, but I believed it pays the bill.

You are pretty much the only person who would know that. Everyone has their own individual purpose in life to fulfill. You need to look inside yourself and look at your life and define what your purpose is. Sometimes we don't all know what our purpose is, but we could be acting it out already. I don't think its all about knowing but more about doing.

Your purpose is to study so that you can ask some questions on Yahoo with more than four words in a sentence.

Your purpose is to dream, without limits.
No limits, no excuses.

Now make a list of what you want in life, what qualities in others you admire, and what education you want - just for yourself. Your real purpose will bubble up, and then you will also have spiritual development.

Now make all of your dreams come true.

GOD bless.

your purpose in life is probably one of these.

1. To ask incredibly vague questions

2. To seek union with the divine (ENLIGHTENMENT )

3 To find the spark of god in every person you meet.

4 To live a life of incredible joy (joydancer.com)

or if all the above fail you could try my way
the purpose of life is to acquire
faster horses, older whiskey , younger women (men) and more money.

Consider this:

Your purpose is to discover your purpose. Meditate and perhaps it will come to you.

It you wish to know your future, look at your past and compare it with your present.

To see what people answer to such a question, or so I would imagine. Only not knowing you personally, that is only a guess since that would be the reason I asked it of a vast number of strangers.
