The answers you do find are unsatisfactory, to say the least. Wherever you look and whoever you ask, all you seem to find is a whole lot of well-intentioned advice. And this advice is not necessarily bad advice (though some of it is). But it is advice that often does one thing…
It piles the pressure on you.
It overwhelms you.
It makes you feel as though you must do X, Y, or Z in order to find your true purpose in life.
And that if you don’t, you’ll die sad and frustrated harboring many regrets about how you have lived your life. Who wants that?
You see, the point of life is living.
No need to make it any more complicated than that.
No need to achieve a certain level of knowledge and understanding.No need to chase particular goals or dreams.
All you have to do is find a way to stop placing so much emphasis on the need to do something, be someone, or feel something. So that well-intentioned advice that seeks to boil down the purpose of life into simple nuggets of “wisdom” like be happy, love others, leave a legacy, be the “best version” of yourself…
It’s not so much wrong, it’s just too focused on an outcome. And achieving an outcome is reaching a destination. If you never reach that destination, you feel forever unfulfilled.
And if you do, what comes after?
You’d be better of turning around, facing the sun, and forgetting that your shadow is even there.
You ought to turn and face life rather than chasing some answer to an unanswerable question. Truth is, those people who go about their lives aren’t weighed down by the burden of living a life of purpose.
They are just living a life. That is purpose in itself.
They may not always be happy. They may not be making a great positive impact on the world. They may not be successful in your eyes. They may not appear to be growing as an individual…
But they may also be more content with where they are than you are with where you are.
So, please, don’t equate the purpose of life with some great act or deed. Small and big are beautiful in their own ways.
Not everyone will achieve great wealth or fame.
Not everyone will reach the highest levels of spiritual enlightenment
Not everyone will get to live the life of their dreams.
In fact, the people who do attain such things are a rarity.
Ambition isn’t a bad thing to have in life by any means so long as you don’t equate the thing you aspire to achieve with your ultimate purpose in life. As many a guru has rightly stated, life is about enjoying the journey and the many ups and downs along the way. And you enjoy the journey by being present in as many moments as you can.
It’s true, life does end one day. But just like with a well made cookies, a well lived life can be enjay and savoured. Cookies end same day as well, because they’re Inevitably eaten
God is a Spirit, and he created human beings also as Spirit beings with a purpose in life. Spirit beings then through birth, come to earth, to experience life, as well as excecute the purpose they were born for here on earth. Once they have accomplished their mission on earth, they return back home where they originally came from. Here on earth we call it death, but in actual fact, there is no death, people pass away to the afterlife, which is real(Home). Only to be born again back to earth, either to finish off what they could not complete, or to experience another life purpose.
That’s actually one of life’s purpose. Living and Dying. And jn between of it is living life to the fullest. Making the best out of it. Loving and cherishing your family and friends. Experiencing things. Growing and getting old. That’s actually living life’s purpose 😊
The way I see it is to reach the last day of my life and not regreating what I did in the past
Your aim in life should be to do something that makes people to remember you even after death So, that you can live forever in someone’s thoughts.
The purpose of life is to develope the world for new generation .so that we can be remembered for our hard work from generation to generation untill one day that the world will end
Don’t forget that this life you are lyfing is like an exam , if do good heaven and if you do bad hellfire
The Bible is very clear as to what our purpose in life should be. Men in both the Old and New Testaments sought for and discovered life’s purpose. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, discovered the futility of life when it is lived only for this world. He gives these concluding remarks in the book of Ecclesiastes: “Here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14). Solomon says that life is all about honoring God with our thoughts and lives and thus keeping His commandments, for one day we will stand before Him in judgment. Part of our purpose in life is to fear God and obey Him.
Another part of our purpose is to see life on this earth in perspective. Unlike those whose focus is on this life, King David looked for His satisfaction in the time to come. He said, “And I”in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness” (Psalm 17:15). To David, full satisfaction would come on the day when he awoke (in the next life) both beholding God’s face (fellowship with Him) and being like Him (1 John 3:2).
According to Islam the real purpose of life is worship of Allah and believe that Allah is the God Hazrat Muhammad is the rassol of Allah and also be honest and follow the rules of life of Hazrat Muhammad P.B.U.H
