What an interesting set of answers.
Your question requires that there be a Creator. If you were put on earth to do something, there has to be a Creator by definition. Look at this quote by the atheist Bertrand Russell:
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (20th century philosopher, mathematician and Nobel Laureate)
So rather than look for purpose, people need to seek God for God is far more important than purpose. I think God put the need for purpose into our human nature in order to point us toward seeking Him.
I like the answer, "Yes.to grow,learn,evolve,love and enjoy." Isn't it a wonderful coincidence that our Creator put us here on earth to have a good time? Is this the noble purpose for which we ought to dedicate our entire existence?
I also note the answer, "I have no purpose. I just exist.". While we can write those words, we can't live them. I've never met anyone who didn't have something to live for, except for one person who was suicidal.
The answer, "my purpose is to populate the world" is also amusing. As if a mindless natural process such as evolution can grant us purpose. Perhaps this person just likes sex.
"I'm 36 and what I think is my purpose constantly changes." Obviously the reason your Creator brought you here on earth cannot constantly change. What makes you feel good at the moment might constantly change but it has nothing to do with real purpose.
Your question really brought out the spectrum of thought. I'm giving you a star.

No body does.As soon as we fulfill one the other crops up and then all of a sudden we find that the time is almost OVER.The only way to really find the purpose of our life on this earth is have 'No Purpose' ie any purpose related to self.When the purpose is related to something like 'service to humanity'.it shall be enduring as there shall always be humans till we die and fulfillment shall then be an ever 'on going' process.

Yes and no. I'm 36 and what I think is my purpose constantly changes. It was one thing when I was in my teen years, another when I was in my 20s. And now it's totally different. Maybe it's okay for our purpose to change over time.

Yes, to walk in love like I Corinthians Chapter 13. I haven't accomplished every aspect but that's my daily goal and also to forgive daily.
