My purpose is to learn how to be happy with myself and to understand as much as I can about the world around me, as well as the people within it. I want to be the best person I can be, and I want to do as much good as I can possibly achieve.

At present stage of human history, when the continued work of the Godly-guidance stands, already, perfected in terms of the long series of prophets and their Scriptures. And__ the Day of Judgement is also at hand. The masses must review, all and all of that, which is being maintained by them; in the name of faith and belief.
The ignorant must pay heed to the Scriptures and the Message of Monotheism, contained therein. Still there is some time for the Repentive Recourse to reform and recognize the actual purpose of life including the actualisation thereof.
Jesus (PBUH) had given this message in his prayer on the cross (The Psalm 22)
“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendants of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.”
(The Psalm 22:23)
It means that praise is meant for the Lord alone. And___ to honour the Lord means to obey the Lord in terms of the Lord’s Commandments and to worship the Lord means to seek help and refuge from the Lord as the Lord is the Omnipotent-Protector alone. And___ that is the sole purpose of human life.

I like to think of this time as a sorting phase of our existence. When we are called home to God we will be placed in heaven according to how we lead our trial existence. I know God has a place for me, and I trust He is leading me to it. That is all the motivation I need to smile each morning and give praise. I mourn for the sadness of the world, while my heart knows harmony.
Peace :)

I was working one day when a young person came up to me, they had no clue who I was, and started asking me questions about christian beliefs and after life things. I, not knowing this person, asks them why me?
They said that by watching me work and converse with others it was easy to see that I was a good christian and had knowledge of the bible. Yes I answered the questions that they had and found many others needing help, I believe we all have something to do in life we just have to find out what it is.

To help somebody...anybody.
It may not get you into heaven, in fact, christians say it won't, but it WILL make somebody feel better.
God doesn't need me, and he can do with me what he will...if he exists. Right now, there are actual people that DO need me.
Make a difference while you're here, then let god explain why you should be tortured forever for doing that.

Knowing that the cruelty comes from the evil one. And trusting in his deception is turning from the one who created me.
I turn to God. And Life is no longer cruel. I get to know Jesus, and I begin to see what I couldn't before.
I love life, but once did not. I had to turn form the lies and ask to see. We really are loved.
This is my witness.

Our survival instincts. We have an innate drive to live and make the best of whatever our situation is. If our situation is bad enough, the mere hope that things will improve can keep us going.

Because the pain of life is worth it for the pleasure and beauty. Even with all of the death, sorrow, and suffering in the world, there is still so much joy, like music, laughter, innocence, and nature, that makes it all worth living.

for the longest time my purpose was to bring my children safely to adulthood. Now that they're there .. my purpose is to discover me *lol* ... and to wait for the grandkids! Secondary drives are to learn, learn, learn and to become more open and kind to others and to see the world and to figure out my stats and to eat chocolate and to contemplate what purpose I have in life *lol* Oh yes, and to collect smiley faces.
