To grow in spirit, and maybe learn something. But most of all, "Just Live"

I think the purpose is to suvive and live life to the fullest. I'd want to accomplish and do all the things I've wanted to do. When your life is complete, all that is left is your experiences and how you've shaped the environment and those around you.
When I realized I won't be here forever, I decided to further improve humanity and perhaps somehow accomplish a little bit of a dream we all think of as heaven on earth. It might not happen within my generation, but maybe...1000s of years from now, my efforts now may help decide some factors so that my descendants may live in a better world than I ever did. That is what my grandfather worked for, my mother worked for, and that's what I will work for to my children.
Is not 99% of fantasy heaven ruled by some imagined god worth as much as a real heaven made by our brothers and sisters here to be enjoyed on earth for everybody? My hope is someday a utopia for everyone could happen.

If your life is your own property, then the only purpose of your life is to achieve your goals. Whether you want to eradicate world hunger, or be the first person to attend fifty consecutive Macy's Thanksgiving parades, the choice is up to you.
If your life does not belong to you, then your purpose must be determined by someone(s) else -- which means anything goes. Your purpose may be to teach preschoolers, or to torture prisoners, or anything in between.
So, before you try to determine your purpose, first you need to be sure of who owns you.
Good luck with that.

Ill tell you plain and simple. Some people don't accept this because they just don't want to do it. But it's in Ecclesiastes 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."
Hope this helps :)

To love and serve God. Each of us was created with a unique way to do that, and the doing of that brings complete joy.
