How to find purpose or meaning in your individual life?
Read the bible. You%26#039;ll find your purpose in life. (%26quot;,)





What Is Your Purpose in Life?





Part of God’s purpose for us is that we take good care of ourselves and of our families. This includes caring for both physical and spiritual needs. Balance is needed in doing this, however, so that secular interests and concerns do not eclipse the more important spiritual ones. (Matthew 4:4; 6:33) Regrettably, many people focus their life almost exclusively on the acquiring of material things. Yet, trying to satisfy all our needs solely with material things is unrealistic. A recent survey of millionaires in Asia reveals that many of them “feel insecure and troubled, even as they enjoy the social status and the sense of accomplishment their wealth brings.”—Ecclesiastes 5:11.





Jesus spoke of “the deceptive power of riches.” (Mark 4:19) How are riches deceptive? They appear to make one happy, but they do not. “The man who loves money can never have enough,” noted wise King Solomon. (Ecclesiastes 5:10, The New English Bible) But is it possible to pursue materialistic goals and still serve God whole-souled? No, it is not. Jesus explained: “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches.” Jesus urged his followers to store up, not material goods on earth, but “treasures in heaven,” that is, to establish a good name with God, who “knows what things you are needing before ever you ask him.”—Matthew 6:8, 19-25.





In writing to his fellow worker Timothy, the apostle Paul gave some strong counsel in this regard. He told Timothy: “Give orders to those who are rich . . . to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes us all things richly for our enjoyment . . . , to be liberal, ready to share, safely treasuring up for themselves a fine foundation for the future, in order that they may get a firm hold on the real life.”—1 Timothy 6:17-19.
Reply:i doubt whether their is a purpose or meaning it%26#039;s just one of those things that just is. Just make the most of it. Organise, plan participate in adventures----enjoying the environment, riding a bicycle, kayaking the oceans----amazing how far you can get using just people power, surprise yourself ! I enjoy yachting as well. There may not be a purpose but when your skimming the waves and the wind is powering you along a purpose is not at all important as just being there
Reply:What are the things that you like to do? What goals do you want to achieve? You need to figure out what YOU want and you probably shouldn%26#039;t know your purpose in life until the end of your life. Hope this helps and don%26#039;t worry about it as long as you are happy with yourself and your life. :)
Reply:You have to find a relashionship with God, and he will show you the way. Hope that helped

Reply:Find out what you enjoy, what causes you to feel happy, then expound on that subject or idea.


Finding your purpose can be as simple as learning to make a wonderful dish that everyone loves to eat. Little things DO mean a lot. Or it could mean helping others or just being the best at %26quot;whatever%26quot; you can be, while accepting your own limitations.


Meaning in your life can be as simple as learning to love yourself and accept you for you. But, that also involves taking responsibility for your thoughts, words, deeds and emotions and delving into your %26quot;dark side%26quot; and fixing what needs to be fixed or corrected about your personality.


Finding purpose and meaning in your life could be as simple as learning to enjoy your life no matter what happens during your stint on this earth.
Reply:It%26#039;s what you make it.
Reply:You are not suppose to find purpose or meaning in your life.





Everything in life is DIY.





You are suppose to make your life meaningful by creating a purpose for yourself.
Reply:Read %26quot; Mans Search For Meaning%26quot; by Victor Frankl. Every persons life has purpose and meaning and the mere fact you ask this question puts you on the beginning of the journey to find it. Enjoy the journey and take care.
Reply:Beautiful Smily: It not that complicated. Integrate to people around you and define what you are good at, and like. A kiss for you.
Reply:Pay attention to what comes out of you...if it makes you feel good, your on the right path.
Reply:this is a perticularly difficult issue for scientists who see the world as it really is. personally, i dont believe in any gods and i know that the role of a human is too make more humans, to reproduce. this is simply the purpose of our life. since i can see no way to make my life better then what i already do, i dedicate my life to helping other people, to saving lives by becomming a surgeon. this is how i give my life meaning, by giving other people a chance to live.
