Sit back, relax and enjoy your life.
Work to live and not live to work.
I believe the purpose of my life is firstly to be happy, secondly make others happy but not at the expense of my own happiness.

I think we are an accident. We are born and we die. The life we live gives us so many problems because we 'think' we also 'consceptualise' which means we think things through that are only concepts not reality. So we have generations of stories about what happens to explain the unexplainable...and now society is realising it is all 'tosh'. I leaves us nothing to believe in any more....so we see death as a final stage with nothing beyond. Religion had its place once to explain things that we can't explain but I think more and more people are turning away from the fantasy stories and looking to the facts as they are........which means ...when we die...we die......end of.....I don't think there is any point pondering the afterlife....enjoy the now and the future....not the what if's when you die!

I am sticking my neck out here but I can only tell you what I have experienced. My son died at the age of 14, so I joined the church and read the bible. I found it gave me the answer to your very question. We are here so that we can come to know God before we die. To discover him for ourselves and to worship him in song and the way we live our lives. Jesus is his name and you could read the gospel of John, read chapter 3 v3 onwards. I hope you find the meaning to your life.

Our purpose is to live a life and enjoy and experience the stress and joys of what life has to offer.

Our purpose in life is cram as much experiences as we can, make mistakes, make good choices, have fun, have bad times, stress, make money then lose it, love and then lose love, bring kids into the world ...love and nurture them, support them and moan when they keep giving you grief. Eventually they grow up and blossom into fine individuals and then you die.

'My Purpose' (in life) seems to be sitting here answering questions (at present).
A good / positive / interesting answer to your question might be ~
'Choose a Purpose,' make it your own, and get on with it. (and just to defeat the dark forces out there, bloody well indulge yourself and ENJOY your chosen Personal Purpose).

Quit worrying about stupid crap. People worry too much about things that are out of their control. Enjoy life while you've got it and stop being such a drag.. Geez, people are damned depressing sometimes. Now go have some fun!

We are put here to keep life going and for the world to go round. death is scary. but more scary to see some1 you love die first . 1 person dies for some1 to be born.

Maybe the purpose of life is to find the purpose of life.
Don't know about you but I could use eternity finding out as well.
