Well I feel like my life has purpose. Mainly my family they are the most important things to me and i make sure everybody feels loved and we make memories. I also love my job (most of the time) as well as taking photos. I'm very happy with my life and I would hope everybody could find what makes them happy!

I thought my life's purpose was a lot of things. Growing up I was into sports, always wanted to be a doctor, travel the world, have my amazing life, nice fancy car, shopping, going to the gym, collage , university, work, yaddy yaddy yadda..you know, live my amazing life.. turns out God had a different plan for me than I did... I am a stay at home mom of 2 and number 3 on the way... I wouldn't change it for anything. I knew this was my calling when my husband and I started taking about adoption, I will give a home to those who don't have one. Never thought it was my thing growing up, but it is now. And I love it. If you are feeling lost, pray, God will hear you God bless and keep looking up

I exist. Never been sure what my purpose is/was. Considering the things I've dealt with I'd have to say ..human beating stick perhaps.

For me is always trying to figure out how a older person can fit into this modern world. We folks tend not to move as quickly in change as others do. I came from a time where the world was so different, or so it seemed to be. We did not have a lot of the modern high speed things we have today.. I think maybe purpose is only what the individual wants it to be. We all seek a different out come & & pay off in life. I hope my true purpose will always be to blend in with my children & make them happy to have a Mom,,,& hope my grand-children will in some small way get to see a window into their future through having known their Grandma..I believe love & example are very important to pass on to our little ones.

I had to give this some thought but I think my life's purpose is to be a better man today than I was yesterday.

I sure have. Ive known my whole life though. I also dont get paid for it. It is 100% volenteering. Saving animals is my life. I work part time doing childcare and own a couple home baised buisnesses which allows me to spend 95% of my time volenteering.

You know you're doing what you're meant to do when it comes so naturally and easy for you to do it. My number #1 purpose is to be a mom to my children. Also , when it comes to my job, I love what I do. It's so natural and easy and I'm not afraid to say I'm good at my work. The only thing I don't care for is the bureaucratic red tape bs. Lol you know your purpose when you love what you do!

Leading people to a better understanding of their purpose in this life is very rewarding.  
 
If you don't know yours, seek God and He will show you.
