You forgot love and sleep.
Work, play, love, and sleep is in the hear and now. For some, they believe that is all there is.
For others there is next life, the after life. Now we get God, work, play, love and sleep.
How you find belief is another matter. Western Civilization based on the Holy Scripture (For descendants of Israel) and the Christian bible. Lately, Western Civilization includes more like Buddhism, Daoism, ...
Western Civilization comes from Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian. However, it is expanding to include Islam, Buddhism, Taoism. All are Western lifestyles, various different life styles, styles that you can freely choose.

Personally I would say : for God, for my wife, for my family and friends, my pets.
That's just the short list. Many ways to go about this, but another strong purpose would be to serve and support your fellow man/woman and those in need. Another is to serve your country.
The bottom line is, no matter how great or small, we all have a purpose in this life.

To come in contact and fellowship with your Creator.
Fellowship was lost due to sin. The sin issue could not be dealt with by good works, traditions, or rituals. The wages of sin is death. A loophole was created by God that a substitute death could be used, hence the Levitical system of sacrifice, a picture of what was to come. God came down in the form of man, to live, and die in our place to re-establish our lost fellowship. This event tore the veil in the Temple to announce that the wall of separation between man and God was over. All we need do is come to Christ for the cleansing of sins and obtain the once-lost fellowship.
Why are we here? - For God to obtain a people, who by free will choice, choose Him without seeing Him. Who trust in Him when all the world trusts themselves.
Ephesians 3
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
