Life is deeper than we can imagine; what we think we know about life is just the surface, not the real deal.
Do we have a purpose? Yes, everybody created on this earth has a purpose why he or she was created.
Sometimes, we struggle to find this purpose; many of us have tried so many things that we assume are our purpose for being created, but all to no Avail.
Let's take, for example, I had a friend while growing up, I have always wanted to be a medical doctor, and my friend, who happens to be a church member, wanted to be a doctor too.
But the funny thing is that this guy's main reason for wanting to be a medical doctor is because I want to be a medical doctor, and he likes the white coats that doctors wear.
He tried studying medicine, but it didn't work. He dropped halfway and came out. He tried the pharmacy, but it didn't work out too, and then he started asking me. What is the purpose of why he was created self, and how can he find it?
Me, I don't know. I am not God, and I never even find my purpose, I just have this feeling that I haven't even discovered what my purpose in life is. At times, I ask myself, do we really have a purpose, or is it just a human construct or belief.
Is our purpose just to make money and enjoy life, it can't be just that.
But my friend was making money for the little things he started doing, but he still felt unfulfilled.
Until he met a philanthropist, he was following him to feed people and counsel people. He joined him and started counseling youth to stay away from hard drugs, supporting the ones who wanted to learn handwork and those who wanted to go to school; he supported them as little as he could.
The last time I spoke to him, he told me I had found my purpose in life, and I asked him what the purpose was. He said to impact life and give meaning to as many who have lost hope as possible.
I feel happy to help them do this thing and am glad I can be of help to my generation.
He has found his purpose, which is to help humanity. While I am still struggling, his purpose might not be the same as mine.
It depends on what you call purpose; it can mean different things to different people. Some people believe that having money and enjoying life is their purpose, while others will tell you otherwise.
While to some they can go on vacation to any country of their choice and do shopping any day and anytime they want. They have found their purpose too.
I can bet you that some of us don't even know our purpose up till now. Some felt they were near their purpose, but they knew deep inside them that they hadn't completed it.
Every human creates their own purpose, some people have created their own purpose based on the culture of their people or belief.
People still get to find their purpose from life experiences.
