why do you think that is that you can solve others` problems,.but not your own,.. That's not uncommon. I studied psychology for seven years and developed a reputation for being able to help people with problems. Everyone I know thinks of me as their counselor. And I'm usually OK with that. It gets a little frustrating, at times, though, because there are those I NEVER hear from until/unless they need my help. But I'm completely stymied when it comes to dealing with my own issues. I don't have a lot of problems, but the few I do have are real stumpers and there is no one I can go to for help. Lex i couldnt have said it better... teh answers to others problems are so easy to come by but my own are like the greatest puzzles i've ever stumbled across... i do ask for advice but nothing seems to help and nothing i can think of seems to solve it either... its so strange |

Mine don't fit so neatly into any of the old familiar categories and are therefore not susceptible to standard solution scenarios. I have sometimes wondered how I would go about counseling someone who had problems similar to mine -- but that's a slippery slope, because their overall circumstances would have to be somewhat different from mine, anyway. Whereas I can find no one who could be of any help with the problem for myself, someone else might have better connections in their lives for that sort of thing. It could just be a matter of identifying those people in their lives. |

Hmmm? My purpose? Writing, and taking care of children. I have a son I adopted with Down syndrome and my life has always seemed to circle around family, music, and counseling others. I also believe we have free will to pick and choose what we do.

My purpose in life is simple and true. Just help people. There is no money or possession that can ever overcome the happyness I feel when helping someone else, no matter the case, small or large. I am currently working at a non profit orgimization working with adults with mental disabilities create art and generate a possitive outlite to express themselves to make this even better we just had one of our artists show at the Cincinnati art museum, what could be better than that

My purpose in life is to put my own life aside so I can help people who simply don't deserve it. I've been turned into the "go-to" guy despite the fact that it doesn't benefit me, either socially, emotionally, or financially.

To experience it to the fullest, make mistakes, hopefully learn from them, get knocked down, or trip and get right back up again.
Life is what you make of it, never take it for granted and as long as I can bring at least a smile to someone else if not more then I'm happy, |

Besides just existing, my purpose in life is to be in the right place at the right time making a decision that matters. If I can string enough of those situations together in my lifetime, I will be satisfied.

I'm not sure but if I ever meet "her", I am sure "she" will tell me what my purpose is.

I believe I found my purpose in life when my father got hurt 14 years ago with a head trauma. The way he was treated while in the hospital made me realize that I could treat patients so much better. I knew that I was a caring person and obviously they needed caring people to take care of patients.
I was tested in 04 when I had my colon cancer and again in 08 when taking care of my Dad with his stomach cancer. My father passed away in December of 08, but luckily he was where he wanted to be..at home with his family by his side. And now we are going through the first stages of Alzheimer's with my Mom..I am very thankful I have worked in a Alzheimer Unit and I am prepared for some of the things that are about to happen. So, yes my purpose in life is to be a caretaker, I think I am a blessed person  I miss you Dad
