why when people ask about "the purpose of life" do they look for a purpose outside of themselves???

Question

as if it was someone else´s purpose about my life.
if they are thinking about god, how can they believe that god has a purpose about our lives??? if so what are we,puppets???
if you try to relate "free will" with god purpose about people´s lives try to make it sound at least coherent.

the purpose of life , jesus christ???
but before jesus was born they were other who lived, so their lives were empty???
and how can a dead person be the purpose of everybody else´s life.
or even how can name be the purpose of anyone´s life???

Answer 1

If you buy a new car, there's an owners manual in the glove box! If you want to know something concerning the car it can be found in the owners Manual.
All human beings have an owners manual in their heart.
If you want to know something about yourself, go into the heart and read what it says concerning the trials and tribulations you are experiencing. This in itself is the truth.
Many will argue this point, but the only way to find out for yourself is to take a journey within the heart, and see all the wonders that are waiting to be found.
The "Meaning of Life" is within the heart.
All of the questions of life are there.
The answer to all these questions are there also.
Regarding us being puppets, the strings were removed when free will was entered into the human equation!!
May you have a wonderful journey!!

Answer 2

People search for their purpose in life outside of themselves because it is much easier to look outside than within. To truly discover your purpose for living, you have to:
- look up (to God because He is your Creator)
- look outside (to others who can reveal more of you)
- look back (you can learn from your past)
- look inside (what you were meant to do is really what you want to do deep down yourself)
- look at the present (what makes and keeps you happy at the moment)
- and look ahead (your dreams and goals generally point to where you are meant to go, provided you are honest with yourself and sincere in finding out your God-ordained mission).
