What is your personal purpous?

Question

What do you feel is your reason for living? Do you ever wonder why you are here, and what's the point..if there is one? I'm also beginning to wonder that a lot of people who are religous, mainly are religous because they are afraid of death (of course that would never be admitted!), and the fact that there really may be NOTHING after you die..


Are you afraid of death? When did you realize that you weren't going to live forever, and that EVERYONE has the same fate? Do you accept the fact you will one day die, or does it secretely scare you? Did you go through a phase in your life where the word 'death' constantly loomed in your mind?

Answer 1

Ohh wow... at first I thought it was another life purpose question.. When I realized you ended up describing my feelings..

First... I will answer the last questions... I was once afraid of death, and the word "death" constantly loomed in my mind, and almost all the time at night... That was some years back, when I actually started thinking I was going to die one day ha!... Somehow I stoped worring... Now I don't have time to think about that kinds of things... Why? because I live my life... I spend my time studing, working, trying to be a better human, a better son, a better friend, a better boyfriend, a better human in general, etc... I try to improve and better myself every day... I do have a purpose, and that's my purpose... to live my life to the fullest... Become the best human I could ever be... Work, study, LIVE, and with all that learn basic and essential lessons of life to be a better human and improve myself and others lives...

My life is going to end someday... why worry about it if I am losing time every second?.... I want to be able to say one day, "I could die today, and I wouldn't care! I have done all I wanted in this life, I have reached all my goals..."
If I don't die that day... life continues, I keep growing and getting wiser, becoming a better human, seting new goals, making new friends, teaching what I know, advising, LOVING, LIVING, making this world a better place, making a difference in others people's lives (for good), etc...

Life is all about that... why waste life... if it isn't permanent...

I do happen to be religious by the way... Religion just adds a factor to all that purpose... GOD.... loving god, trying to be good to end up in heaven, etc...

Remember, faith is strong... and faith is responsible of our basic moral and ethics fundations... Without religion and fate, maybe we would still be thining in "survival of the fittest".... and with that kind of thinking we would be exactly like common beasts...

Even without a God, I would keep my same thinking about my purpose in life... and in this world...

Maybe.... I might even change the world, history, our just changing a few lives would do good....

Hope that helps answer most of your questions...

Wow. That's a lot of questions!
My purpose is to create. I'm an artist & songwriter. Expressing myself & sharing that with others is the greatest reward in life. When I'm able to reach someone through my words, music or paintings, it's very satisfying. I believe each of us has a unique gift/talent to offer the world & we must each do that. Be what you are. Do what you can to the best of your ability. The point of life is to enjoy it. To love yourself, others & the world. I am religious to some degree (I'm a non-practicing Catholic). I consider myself a spiritual person. I love God. I love nature. I am not afraid of death but I do believe in an afterlife. I never thought that I'd live forever. I never wanted to. Though it would be nice to be remembered. I suppose my art & music are the ways I'd like to live forever. Death doesn't scare me. I don't feel as though it's coming any time soon but I would hope that even when it does I will be at peace. I've enjoyed my life though there is still a lot I want to do. I used to be a lot darker than I am now. I dressed in dark clothing. Death was almost a fashion for me. I went dancing in clubs with vampires. I wore skull earrings & painted my nails black. But even then my obsession wasn't with real death, but rather with a romantic idea of it that I had from movies, books, music etc (the goth/alternative culture).

I don't wear black quite as much but it's still my favourite colour. I almost miss the dark dramatic girl that I was. My poetry was better back then! So intense & morbid! I'm a little happier & lighter these days...

Answer 3

My reason for living is to be able to get through any hardship and to keep on going!!!I'm not afraid of death. Because when I do die I will be able to say I lived my life to the fullest. I accept the fact that we're all going to die and I look forward to it,because my way of thinking is that we are living in hell right now so it's got to be better after life!!!

Answer 4

well first, i think my reason for living is to live this life,,,,,,,, and my personal purpose is to learn/grow/improve and also just to experience this life.

i dont ever remember being afraid of death, not personally,,,,, of course,,, after having a child, i feared something might happen that caused her to pass on,,,,,,,, so i didnt fear so much her dying, but her leaving me.
i havent gone threw a phase where death stayed in my mind, i actually think of this live here on earth as a phase,,, we came from some place to this, and we will go on to something else,,,,
i have always known i was going to at some time pass on from this life (i personally dont refer to it as death)
but yes, any new thing , the unknown,,, the thing you dont remember experiencing before, will be scary

Answer 5

Everyone is here for a reason. Before you were born on earth your spirit was already alive in heaven. You made a plan for your life, charting situations that would force you to learn the things that you had to learn in order to complete God's task for you. There is a reason for everything. Only the strongest souls take on the hardest paths and as souls become stronger through their life experiences they can take on harder lives.
