Are you having problems in life? Are you depressed? Everyone has their own purpose in life and is supposed to do somethig different with their lives than the person next to them.

To live for the one's around you, influence the lives around you, to live and watch yourself grow and watch your children grow. To find yourself. At least that's the spiritual answer and for a while I've asked myself the same question and I don't think there's one answer. Everyone has there reasons. Mine is to oneday have my kids and raise them, some live for there careers, the wives/husbands, some for there hobbies. Maybe our purpose in life is to try and find our purpose?
Or maybe there is no purpose, just to see what happens.

This sphere and life is a universal school. If you choose to walk a spiritual path you can learn to leave this realm. If you choose a material path you can return to it over and over until you find the exit. So learn... all you can, from every religion and person on the planet and realize that we are all connected,, we are all spirit from the same source..

We are allowed to define our own purposes in life. If your purpose is to be happy, then that's fine. If it's to help others, or to get rid of crime, or whatever, that's fine. Even not having a purpose is fine, if that's how you choose to live your life.

God says in the holy Quran:
"I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me." (Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)
Of course one cannot interpret this verse as God ordering humans to continuously pray. It only means that by living according to God's commands with a pure and wholesome intention behind each activity, life actually becomes a continuous act of worship.
"...humans are the trustees of God on earth..."
So, in short, we're here to please Him so that hopefully with His infinite Grace and Mercy, He will admit us into His eternal Heaven, the best abode.
God knows best
Peace and Love.

You (your spirit) lived in heaven along time ago, even before anything was physically created. You wanted to be like God who has an immortal body, and agreed to live on earth to get a body like His. You agreed to let Christ be the Redeemer and let Him mediate between you and you Father who lives in Heaven. Now you are here and must seek to find how to be redeemed, and live/behave to be so. At the resurrection You'll get your body back, and it will be perfected and glorified.

That, my friend, is entirely up to you. Now, that may seem like a rather heavy burden, but the fact is, you are completely free to choose whatever purpose you like.
Give it some thought, and choose one that will give you joy and be of service to your fellows.

The lesson on Terra is to purge ones spirit of self-righteousness
and hypocrisy. Walking a mile in another mans moccasins
you might say. How can you criticize one if you did the same thing? Humans are experts at this.

The Bible says man is created to the glory of God. It also comments that whether you eat and drink do it all to the glory of God. Thus the purpose of being in this life is to live for God in view of his will and purpose for each one of us in Jesus Christ. The ultimate end of one's existence is to enjoy God by delighting in Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
