    My main purpose in life would be do as much good as I can while learning as much as possible. To elaborate I want to do good by impacting peoples life in a positive way. I want to make sure that each time I try to help, I make a difference for the better. It is very hard to accomplish this without resources these days. So I am choosing a career in which I will be forced to help people while earning. That is my soul reason for choosing to be in the medical field. It also helps me quench my thirst for knowledge. I know our time on Earth is limited; so it is essential for me to make the most of it while helping others.

    I don't think we really have much of a purpose other than to just experience life. Being alive is enough of a reason as we get to experience so many different things. When you look at the universe we can see, we are very unique.

    However, I do think that we are supposed to experience life in a way that doesn't harm others or ourselves. We have to be responsible and leave the earth better than it was before. If you leave the people in your life happier, and don't cause harm, than you will have done your duty on earth. I surde hope that I am right!

    My purpose in life is to love and serve God above all. Thank Him in my existence. To love and my family and serve them in everything I can. To live life to the fullest.

    Being a good citizen in my country is another purpose in life, helping my fellowmen, fulfilling my duties as a citizen, abiding its rules and regulations.

    My purpose in life is to do something of some significant importance that will lead to having my name looked back on or remembered in the future.
    I live to preserve my name and legacy as I think we all do in our own ways.
    Some people do it with parenting while others do it in the sense of becoming a rich author.
    Parenting is enriching in the sense that your BIG family will always be there for you... You may not be remembered in 10 generations, but then again, maybe the Author won't either.
    Live for yourself while helping others.

    As an Epicurist, my life purpose is nothing, life has no meaning, simply live your life, do as much good as you can, eat well, live well, because life has no purpose, if there is a purpose you won't find it easy because you can't tell the future, research Epicurism, maybe it can help you out in your quest to find your life purpose, or maybe not, who knows... For me life has meaning...

    Kind regards,

    Great question! My main purpose is becoming a good psychologist. With my knowledge, I can help a lot of people in difficult situations. In addition, my goal is to become a lifecoach. In my opinion, it is important to develop as many skills as we can, because with more skills we can give more help. I have been in difficult situation, so I know that how wonderfull when someone listens to me, and helps me to transform my thaughts.
