Honesty and Harmony are very important to me. My purpose gave birth to me, it is inherent in who I am. If one lives in high principles there purpose will come through.

The most important thing in my life is my family. They will always be there at the end of the day, while friends come and go.

Purpose in life..I see life as a rollercoaster. You can ask someone, "What's the point of going on a rollercoaster when it ends in two minutes?" and I would say "Because it's fun". That's the same approach I take to life. Make the most of every moment you have. Use it or lose it.

The most important thing is holding on. It amazes me how easy it would be to just let go, and how close I've come to doing so.

The purpose of life? That's overrated. There isn't a purpose, that's just something one would come up with to make their life appear to be worthwhile.

To realize my eternal relationship with my Maker. Nothing else would matter without that. The meaning of life in a nut shell is
We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here out of curiosity and free will, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can return to the eternal Kingdom where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. If you wish write me for a direct link to all wisdom on the Mantra.
For info. Go to harekrishnatemple.com Read Bhagavad Gita- As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada asitis.com you can read it on line.

My kid is the most important thing to me in life.

To me the purpose of life is to follow a path that is lit in some way by a good thing happening here or there, now and then... good for others and so good for you.

I believe that love is the answer to both of your questions. For without love we wouldnt really be enjoying life. Because I feel to enjoy and and discover what life really means we must embrace love. Love your family, love your friends, love your neighbors, love yourself (not in a narsacisstic way), and love life. To some that might not be the answer but hey thats what I believe we must do.

The most important thing in my life is Jesus Christ. Through him, I can love my husband, children, grandchildren and all my friends no matter how many faults they have.

The main purpose in my life is to serve others and use my talents for His glory. Grams

The answer to both questions is love.

Not necessarily romantic love. Just love in general, be it for friends, family, or significant other.

Nothing. This is a source of suffering. The more we cling to people or objects, the more we suffer. If you can accept the concept of impermanence, you will benefit greatly.
