What is each and every individuals purpose of living?Do we have a purpose or is our life already destined?

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth. \n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

We are here to:\n\n-receive a body\n-be tested to see the choices we make according to what we've been taught \n\nWe each have purpose and meaning as to why we are here.\nYou have a 'mission' to be here-whatever that may be.\nThere is something (or many things) that it takes YOU to do-with your own talents and abilities\n\n:)

The first question you need to answer is: do you believe in a life beyond death?\n\nIf not, then the purpose of this life is truly something that is limited to this life. Which means, there is no greater purpose behind the scenes, so whatever goals you set for yourself in life, they're it.\n\nIf you believe in something greater beyond death, there are many beliefs around the world. Many people believe in an eternal soul that goes through many different stages of learning, beginning at very basic consciousness, learning as a living being, like here on Earth, then moving on to more complex matters. If this reflects your own way of thinking and believing, then you may consider your current life as a single lesson (or more) in this evolutionary process of your soul.

we each have our own purposes for being on earth.  for instance if you were to kill your self and please dont,  but hypothetically it will throw of the balance that god intented.  that is why you go staight to hell without passing go and without collecting 2 hundred dollars.  your purpose for being here could just to be a parent or influence someone to create the cure for cancer or to help lead some people to god.  if you arent there for that what would happen would change.  think about scrooge he saw what his life could have been,  who he effected i belive we all have our purpose,  and we propably wont figure it out until we are gone. ps. geznaks purpose of being here is to be a nusence

Our purpose in life is to worship God. Eccl. 12:13: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man." This will bring us the most happiness.\n\nThe psalmist David also wrote about the incoming new world and how long it would endure. He foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) That is why Jesus promised: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.\n\nWhat a grand prospect that is, living forever on a paradise earth free from all wickedness, crime, sickness, sorrow, and pain! In the final book of the Bible, God’s prophetic Word summarizes this grand purpose by declaring: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It adds: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:4, 5.\n\nYes, God has a grand purpose in mind. It will be a new world of righteousness, an eternal paradise, foretold by the One who can and will do what he promises, for his “words are faithful and true.”\n\nPerfect Health, Everlasting Life.\n\n“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24.\n\n“The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 6:23.\n\n“Everyone exercising faith in him [will] . . . have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.\n\n“You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43.\n\nWhat a marvelous outlook for the future! What real purpose lives can now have when anchored to the solid hope that in God’s new world all of today’s problems will forever be things of the past! “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17) And how comforting to know that life then will be eternal: “God will actually swallow up death forever.”—Isaiah 25:8.\n\nDo you want to live forever in that Paradise new world now so near? ‘What would I need to do to get God’s favor at this world’s end and live on into his new world?’ you may ask. You need to do what Jesus indicated in a prayer to God: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3.\n\nTherefore, obtain a Bible, and confirm what you have read here. Search out others who study and teach these Bible truths. Break free from hypocritical religions that teach and do things contrary to the Bible. Learn how you, along with millions of others who are already doing God’s will, can share in God’s purpose that humans live forever on a paradise earth. And take to heart what God’s inspired Word declares about the near future: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.\n\nIf you would like further information or a free home Bible study, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall.

Don't know, I've been asking myself the same question everyday. I guess it is up to us to discover that on our own by living and looking for what our purpose is.

The purpose of life is to find the answer to that question and to fullfill it. If you're a Christian it would be to accept God's gift of salvation and learn to love and devote your life to others.

What is exactly your purpose?

Humanity has developed over many lifetimes; first resembling beasts, with desires only for food, family, sex and shelter; then developing through stages of wealth, power, honor and knowledge.\n\nAt the first stage of development, desires for food, family, sex and shelter are a person’s only desires. Even a totally isolated individual has these desires and tries to fulfill them. Desires conditioned by society’s influence (desires for wealth, power and honor) emerge at the next stage.\n\nAfterwards, the desire for knowledge appears. Sciences flourish as we set out to discover where everything comes from, to find our roots. This desire for knowledge, however, still only resides within the framework of our world.\n\nOnly at the next stage does a human being desire to know the real source, one’s essence—the meaning of life. “Where do I come from?” “Who am I?” “What am I?” These questions cause discomfort and trouble a person.\n\nHuman beings are naturally egoistic. All of our desires are self-motivated and crave fulfillment. They pressure us, literally controlling our every move. The height of egoism in our world is the desire to be filled with knowledge about something above us.\n\nWhat is the source of desires and how do they appear? The source of desires is suffering. Passing from one type of desire to another happens only under the influence of suffering. If I am in a balanced state, then I feel comfortable and everything is just fine. A new desire then appears, and I feel that something is missing. Now I want to experience something new, so I start trying to fulfill this desire…and this process keeps repeating itself. In other words, I am always running after new pleasures.\n\nWe are born on this planet, we live and we die trying to satisfy our countless desires. Only after many lives do we reach the state when one desire is all that remains: the desire to attain our source, the meaning of our lives. Once this final, ultimate desire appears, everything else seems unnecessary and meaningless. A person gets depressed, feeling emotionally and spiritually empty, as if nothing in this world can bring happiness. Life seems pointless and lacking something real…“What is the purpose of my life?” “Why do I exist?” These are the questions that bring people to Kabbalah.\n\nhttp://www.kabbalah.info/

no one is here by mistake. we all have a purpose, a reason for being. what we do and how we live and treat others will count. myself as a follow of Jesus Christ, my purpose is to follow Him and His teaching. but more important to love Him above all and then to love people in His name. I have found it is the most exciting, wonderful, scary thing but also the most joyful, peaceful and loving place to be. following Jesus.

Sometimes we try to search for the meaning of life because some other life aspects have shown no concordance with our values and beliefs system. Think about it: If everything was perfect, would you research for such a thing? Only theory lovers and people like us research this. Another example.  Let’s imagine you lose your job, you have no family, you get divorced… probably you’d  quickly start thinking about the purpose of life… better to find it soon, otherwise there’s no reason for living! Why have we had so many wars, distress, hatred, etc.? Honestly, what for? To leave to our kids a better world? For getting a country with independence, freedom, democracy? I guess the meaning of life is undoubtedly something about legacy, and it agrees with our particular principles. Before anything, the meaning of life is to survive, then to find your place in the world and finally to give to others your legacy (if you really want to). Concluding, all of us would agree the meaning of life is just to attain happiness, and happiness can’t be explained with a single definition but a sum of things that will drive us to that delighting state. Well living, well thinking, well doing. That’s what Aristotle said. No one could put an aspiration, oath or vow beyond happiness. That’s the only, undeniable, best and most abstract object.

Every living being has a unique purpose for which he/she/it was made.  You will be able to understand it only if you live your life to the full..\nSo, stop worrying and if at you haven't started yet... start now.. Start living. \nPlease Don't exist.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. The purpose of life is a life of purpose. ^_^

If you ask any question, with the word 'why', no answer that you will get, will completely answer that question. So, to get a complete answer, you must ask another 'why' question. Ultimately, after many tedious questions, the ultimate answer to your original question, will be 'God'.\n\nexample; Why do we eat? To live. Why do we live? To procreate. Why do we procreate? To continue human life. Why should we continue life?...To please God.\n\nGod is the only meaning to life.

Life is realization of desire (or dreams).\n\n Purpose of Life is not so simple that can be described in single word or single sentence. It varies from person to person, based on his environment, personal belief etc.\n\n But, the most common thing is, the entire human community is revolving around DESIRE. Desire to win, Desire for fame, Desire to ask question, Desire to answer, Desire to invent, Desire to discover, Desire to be ascetic, Desire to be useful, Desire to help others, Desire to gratify oneself, etc.\n Every human being born in this world is having desire and their living is to fulfill this desire.

When we answer what is the goal and purpose of life, of course it will be a very individualistic idea. It sounds as though you are asking questions that involve two different concepts: 1. the carnal world, or world of the body, which is basically identical to every other body on earth. The differences are very superficial, color, shape, and only external. versus: 2. the spiritual world, or that very intangible world of the spirit that resides within the body, and is unique and unlike any other spirit within existence.\nSo, we perceive the world within two areas, the physical and the spiritual. We struggle most within the spiritual world because of the complexities of how we individually perceive the meaning of our own soul's pathway. The journey we take in our own individual quest is just that: Individual, and unique.
