I'm pretty sure I know, but I find myself straying from my path from time to time. When I start feeling frustrated and down that's usually what's happened.

I definitely know my purpose.
I'm here to help children. I've known this since I was a little girl.. I serve as an advocate for children in many different ways and hope to continue to do so for years to come.

I know my life purpose. To find out my true identity.

I know mine. It's to reveal options by living them, to step outside the boxes and show those who hesitate that the sky doesn't fall in on you when you do that.

Those frustrating feelings sure serve as a good barameter to get us back on track, don't they! Of course, sometimes I just want to wallow LOL!

Jan, this is so awesome! I really believe that when we are living our purpose, we change the world around us for the better.

Thank you!! The biggest hurdle I've found is that so many absolutely don't want to see change happen. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

MrSuccess...this is plain and blatant spamming/advertising... We want to know what your life's purpose is, not how to find it. As the posts around you testify, we're ok on that....!

I think (and hope) my life purpose is to write to encourage, inspire, and inform. That's my dream, anyway.
Are dreams and life purposes the same thing?

Jan, I totally understand what you are saying about people not wanting to see change. I am involved in animal rescue groups and the local shelter and I've seen that this is true.
However, keep fighting to do what you know is right. You never know how many people you influence that way.
Don't know if any of you have read the book Ask and it is Given by Ester and Jerry Hicks but they say our preferences and passions in life are given to us to help us help the Universe be a better place. If we follow our dreams and passions then we will be having a positive influence on the Universe.
Just about any job or interest can be also used to help others, even if it's just that you do it with a joyful heart.

I like the idea that it's our passions that guide us to our purpose. What better way to receive guidance than from our own hearts <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi, I agree with Joanj. I believe that enhancing the lives of others is our life purpose. We can do that in any field we like, be it car salesman, brain surgeon, artist or waitress. Even if you haven't yet found the vehicle for your life purpose, it's OK, you can still be a light in the world, you can simply be happy and positive and that effects the people around you. We can make a difference in all kinds of ways, the smallest act of kindness can have a huge rippling effect and mostly we don't even realize what we have catalyzed. Be kind and happy while you look for your "life purpose". You will bring all kinds of blessings to yourself and others. Love Sparkler www.abundantliving4all.com

My life purpose is to live well and be the best I can, Learn and grow from challenges. Also, to strive to become a little bit better today than I was yesterday and a little bit better tomorrow than I was today.
That pretty much covers what I want to achieve.

I sincerely do not and often have asked myself that question the past years, I still am wondering.

I often wonder if I what I think my purpose is, is really what my purpose is. If that makes sense. Like, did I miss something along the road of life.

OMGosh, I started this thread nearly nine years ago. I clicked on my article link, but it's since been overwritten I'll have to go find it. I really believe that our life purpose is to experience ourselves as the infinite beings that we are. It's not about what we do, it's how we do it
