I am 30 and till date I have done nothing. Just compeleted studies and now into business since 5 years.
Suppose my life is say 50 yrs and I have 20 years left, Out of which I can work for say another 15 years. As soon as I reach the age of 45 my brain and body will stop working as today. This means I have got 15 years to do something.
One question which always haunts me is that why I have come to this world. Just to study and then do some business and earn some money and feed myself and my family. Leave some wealth for my family and die.Thats it. Is this life.
Study-- then earn by business, profession or by any means--- marry---have wife and children---- save money for them and then die once u are 50/55 or 60.
This is what everybody around is doing.Is this what we call life.
How to know why we have come to this world. I know it is not for just earn and feed.
can anybody help me

This is something only you can find out for yourself. It's in you to put some meaning into your life. Everything happens for a reason. You have children and maybe 50 years from now, he or she could be the one who discover the cure for AIDS. If you were never born on earth, then your child would never have existed either . . . there is always an answer if you look hard enough.

We don't have a long time on earth. It seems all we are able to do is work to survive. Even the most accomplished people die in the end. So what to do? I say make your time in the world as good as it can be for you. Don't just work. But also pursue what you love. Make some time, even if it's a little bit, to do what makes you happy, such as a hobby, or spending time with your children. Truely appreciate happiness and joy like it is gold. It is the most precious thing anyone can have. Its sad it can't last forever. So you have 15 years? Lucky you! Some people have only 1 year left. How are you going to find your happiness in 15 years? Be proud of your accomplishments in your studies. But don't leave out your inner joy. Bring joy to others as well. That's all you can do. What happens after life will happen no matter what. You have some power now in your life. Don't let it slip away.

Life is what you make of it. Money helps and nice things too. It's not necessarily what you make and do or what you master in. Life is a journey and if you don't lighten up you will miss your ride.
Have fun, be happy, and do the things you love to do. And you never know you might live till your 80 years old?
Times are changing and life will keep on going. Don't let it pass you by.

Many people say life is not easy. I do not believe on it. Life is easy. And of course that is only my opinion. It is easy if you know how to adapt to a particular situation in life.
BORN. River flows for just ONE goal. It travels from place going to the see and do the same as it reaches its goal. Life of man is like that. We travel from one place to a particular goal. This goal is not too far. It is within us. Desire is just one of the enemies of ourselves that prevent us from seeing the purpose why we are born. close your eyes.think. What good things have we ever done for our family? life is meaningless until we help the needy. Example,I have 2,000 every day, set aside all my expenses. Then a beggar ask me for one peso.I ignored him. in that case, my life is meaningless. I really do not know why I'm here. But if I have 350 everyday, which is a salary of an ordinary person, I can make my life meaningful by making that money a tool to make other people happy. the point is; we are born to help others, to eat our own ego, to forget our desire and to find the meaning of life.

Life is about the good the happy and we can't have that without the pain and missery or it just wouldn't feel as good. You may think this answer is juvenile but thats how I see it the only other way is um how can I or should I say well you know! This life is yours and whatever you feel joy in doing you should do it you if don't you may never get past that question!

Hi Duchess of Cookiesh, while you rise up everyday out of your mattress you ought to be born as a brand new youngster. Of direction you wish to have reminiscences of main matters. But you ought to see your family members as a brand new men and women forgetting the entire bad deeds performed to you and retaining brain capable to seem at well matters hidden inside them. It approach you ought to take off the coloured glass and spot matters as they're. So in that experience I am regularly a brand new born at each second.

I don't know why I'm born either, but I try to enjoy my existence. My live is not just study, earn and save for my descendants. I don't just study, I learn (about myself, about the world where I live). I don't just earn, I enjoy working because I think that what I'm doing will be useful for someone in the future. I don't save money for my family, I use my earnings to make them happy, to expend some time together in a beautiful place....
I don't really care why I am born, I love my live and I think live is full of great moments, moments of happiness, of joy, and even if you have just one of this moments in your hole life, it's worth living it.

Remember what Yoda said to Luke Skywalker about the Force. "There is no "why". Just "do"."
Whatever you are doing then at school, at work, with your friends or family. Be the best person you can be at just being yourself.
You have asked a common question that many people have asked themselves daily. But they stop there because they are doing life.
I believe in God and know he has a purpose for me. And what is it? Well for now it is answering your question of "why you were born." I guess for God answering your question was pretty big in his mind for me to answer you.
I hope my answer helps.

Perhaps you should not worry about a big meaning for your life and start enjoying the fact that you have a life, ask yourself if you are really doing what you want to do.
