God created people to love them and for us to live Him back...anyone is old enough to discover that purpose. Want to know what you should be when you grow up? Talk to God about it...you will not go wrong with His ear listening to you whaen you ask.

At this Point, I would hope that My Purpose in Life is to prove that there is a much better way to utilize Petroleum. My Avatar is a Photo of a Device I have constructed that safely converts Gasoline into a Vapor that is 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. It's lit on Fire to prove it actually works. This has the proven potential to enable even the largest SUV to get 50 + MPG, and emit 10 times less Pollution than a conventional Vehicle Fuel System. I'm not the first to figure this out. Far from it ! For proof, go to http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html . Greed and Money have effectively stopped Vapor Fuel Technology cold ! And now, all Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present are required to Operate at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Any change whatsoever, even if Fuel Economy is improved, and Emissions are lowered, will result in a failed Vehicle Inspection. And this Law was passed during the Clinton Administration, with Al Gore's approval ! This insane Law only benefits the big Oil Companies, and Auto Manufacturers. Someone needs to expose this. Maybe that's my "Purpose in Life". As to finding your's at the Age of 13, it's entirely possible. Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and the Wright Brothers, just to name a few, were inspired at a very early Age. Just Think about what You can do to make the World a better Place, and then start doing it !

What a great age to be! Of course you can find your purpose in life. Mine, at that age was to be the best human being I could be. I've stumbled a lot (too much) along the way, but haven't given up. I got side-tracked with a bad marriage, but the end result was 2 gorgeous and beautiful (now grown) daughters who always remind me what a great mom I've been. At 13, being a mom, let alone a great one, wasn't what I had in mind as far as my purpose in life went. But it happened. I've also had more than a few people tell me what a great friend I've been. Wow! I didn't expect that either. I've done a lot of things I think I wish I'd never done ... but ... if I hadn't done them I wouldn't have learned what I've learned. I've also done a lot of things that I'm really glad I did ... and it's all about being the best human being I can be. Maybe a little bit more info than what you were looking for?

Your purpose is the same as that of everyone else: to live happily. Life is the ultimate value: the value on which all the others are based. When you are young, life has tremendous value because, think how much is ahead of you, how many opportunities and possibilities are open to you.
Though each human being has the same purpose, each one has a different way of achieving it. If I love playing the piano when I am young; if I love it so much that I am prepared to spend time, practice, learn, and get good at it, my way of pursuing happiness is to fulfill my maximum skill at playing the piano. It could be science, literature, history, education, finance, business, computers. Anything can be a means to express how competent we can be at what we love.
The word love is important. It means "to give value". We love certain people more than others because we give value to those we enjoy and those that are good to us. We love one activity more than another because that' s the one we give value, since it gives us most pleasure. That's what love is in EVERY situation and for everything in the universe.
While you are young, your main job is to DISCOVER what you love most. Sometimes it is very hard, especially if you enjoy many different things. Once I had a student girl who said: "I can't decide what I want to be when I grow up: a ballerina, I love dancing, or neurosurgeon, I love medicine!"
In the fianl analysis, what really decides what you love in life is how much effort you are willing to put in something because you have understood that besides wishing to become good at something, nothing of value will be accomplished without effort.

" R E A S O N S F O R L I F E
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knowledge vs Experience
God is pure love and intellect, which means He knows everything there is to know. Yet pure knowledge without experience is empty and incomplete.
For example, if you read a book on how to build a boat, does that mean you can actually go do it? Not usually, for the knowledge is necessary, true enough, but it is not sufficient by itself to complete the job. To physically do something is entirely different from simply knowing about it.
Another example is the mystery of setting up your VCR. Even with diligent reading of the book, and endless diagrams, the task reverts to trial and error for success. Then (oh my God) add the complexity of cable TV and the brain simply fizzles. Those brave souls doing this always fear the day the VCR must be disconnected. Can it ever be reconnected?
Why then did God create us? Easy. To experience His knowledge. Does that seem imperfect? Why would the Divine ever need to rely on mere humans? How can we reconcile God's being perfect and then say that God actually needs us?"

I suppose it's whatever you make it.
You can find your purpose of life at any age.
Sometimes your purpose might change.
No life is useless, ya know.
I want to help people, so my purpose of life would be that.
But that's not the entirety of my existence.
I guess Live It & Love It.
And approach your destiny.
You'll know when it happens, but remember your purpose in life is not limited.

My purpose in life is to help others if I can just like answering your useless question. At your tender age your purpose in life should be to go to school on time.

Yes you can find your purpose, but you have to go out there and look for it yourself. My advice is to not wait for others to tell you what your purpose is.
Or else before you know it, you'll be 40 years old and you'll realize that no one told you where to run and that you've missed the starting gun. (Yea its from Pink Floyd but they word it so good haha)

To see how much pain and suffering one person can endure without losing their mind or sense of humor. At 13, just live life and aspire to be a good person, read, learn and be kind.

you might. some folks know from a very early age what they want to do. it's no harm trying to figure it out. and it's no harm changing your mind about it either. i think our purpose is to FIND our purpose, and then do it.
