Need there be a purpose for all things? I don't think so. The purpose of my housecat is just to sit on my lap and purr... not so much the grand purpose but he does a good job at it.

I don't know that I serve a purpose at all other than living and being a part of this family. Sure, I DO lots more than that... but a purpose? I don't believe there IS one other than the one we create for ourselves.

I live my life as i lead it. I may be unconscious of what path i going through but it goes on how i choose it. You make your own destiny. You live on what you believe.

You've gone throught problems and meet a handful of them again. You make your own family not because it is a must but because its the source of your happines.

Answer 6

At certain times in life, people take stock of where they are and where they want to go. Deciding what is important to us in our life's journey, including where we may be stuck, is the way to begin this life planning. The gift of knowing who you are and what you are meant to do gives you the energy to transform your life.
What matters to you in your personal and professional lives? How do you want to live your life?
"I'll be happy when...." is the way many people think they are living their lives. Yet, happiness is not something that happens to you. Happiness is inside you now. You are motivated from within. You only have to allow happiness to surface.

Happiness = K (knowing who you are) X D (discovering your life's work) X L (learning not to tolerate what's not important).

That's the formula for happiness--know yourself, your true calling and that you get what you tolerate.

Only when you know your signature talents, your values, assumptions/beliefs, guiding principles, vision and passions are you able to bring your true self to your professional and personal lives. Your LifeSignature is the tracing of the talents we are given and how we express them in our lives.

In medicine you look at how "well tolerated" a drug will be related to its side effects. At work and at home, many people evaluate new opportunities related to what can be well tolerated. Yet after life, most people don't want their tombstone to read, "He tolerated stuff for other people because they paid him." Especially, when we realize that we can make more money and have more fun doing work that engages our passions. Life is too short for doing work you don't enjoy for people you don't respect.

Why not decide today, to live your life to its fullest? Are you ready to live a life built on a foundation of who you are and what you are meant to do?
Working on the intangible "inward" stuff (your signature talents, assumptions/beliefs, values, vision and guiding principles) is what it takes to become more aware of one's identity. Once you know who you really are, and articulate your "purpose," you can cross the bridge to a tangible action plan that gets you where you want to be.

Some people make the mistake of developing tangible action plans without first discovering their unique identity, signature talents and life purpose and then wonder why it is so difficult to move forward.

Because going "inward" is difficult, it is recommended that you travel this unexplored territory with a personal coach. As humans, we are complex and need a guide to help us in our life of discovery and change --- especially, when substituting good habits for bad habits.
As the saying goes:
"Those who succeed in revealing themselves to another find the dimness receding from their own visions of self. Like people awakening from a dream, they slough off the accumulated, ill-fitting trappings of unsuitable lives. Then the mutual fund manager may become a sculptor, or visa versa; some friendships lapse into dilapidated irrelevance as new ones deepen; the city dweller moves to the country, where he feels finally at home. As the emotional brain clarity emerges, life takes form."
That's it.:
