I'm not talking Bible here but...
Do you think each person was put on Earth for a distinct purpose?
Have you wondered what your "Purpose is" or do you think you know what your purpose is?

How do we know?
Would you believe,,,I think we do,,,and I think that calling,,as to what WE THINK,,that calling is,,.
Can change in and through life and living...
When I first found out I was going to be a dad,,,THAT raising and
self felt duty,,,was in MY MIND THEN,,,to be my calling..
NOW,,,as my kids are grown,,,and some how through cahnce,,I came here.....
I truly feel,,,that THIS PLACE,,,,,as to unite friendships with,,,
ones who our in pain,,or sarrow,,,,and I feel THIS is my calling to do,,,,to help ALL,,,who feel,,,,,down,weak,troubled,depressed,alone.
ALL,,,,,and through three years now on here,,,,I have helped many to
know,,,,their not alone,,,and they have a real friend..wink

Your purpose is what YOU choose it to be, and how possible it is is for you to make that dream come true, but never what THEY tell you your purpose is.

You mean the Jehovah's witnesses were wrong!!laugh


They were only right if you were a Jehovah.laugh

I think my purpose was to show my first husband what love and family are and to have my son and daughter who are going to do great things.

I don't think we were put on this earth for a specific reason, but I do feel that we were. Perhaps that's a fine distinction but logically speaking, I think we are all just cells and chemicals reacting to our ever changing environment, organisms simply adapting to survive.ohwell

Having said that, I do have a sense that I have a specific purpose in my life. I don't see it as one ultimate one though, but more as the totality of them, each born out of both necessity and desire. Recognizing my current purpose, and rising to meet the challenge, is therefore my ultimate purpose, if that makes any sense. :thumbsup:

Years ago this came to mind after my car was destroyed by a Semi.
Couldn't even tell what kind of a car it was, But I climbed out and walked away. Without even one scratch.

Like.... Why? is there something I am suppose to accomplish before I go.


We all have a purpose for being here. If not? what is the point of all this!Sometimes I think we never realy know untill we are gone.And then the world and family/friends tell our story!

J.M.O.bigsmile


Or, as long as we have a purpose or goal to strive for.. our life has a meaning. I think I am at my best when actually learning something new.




You are so right!drinks As long as we are learning,We will always have a purpose.biggrin

yes, but only works if you figure out what your purpose is an actually do something about it. Otherwise, your life is meaningless and painful and you will never have peace.

my 2 cents.

I believe our purpose is to be there for others that need us. I find that I have come into others lives as friends and I am able to help them through a difficult time. And people enter my world for the same purpose.
I ended up on Mingle just playing around on my Blackeberry one night not long after my separation. I wasn't looking for dating but for some reason I ended up here and met all of you. It has made my adjustment so much easier. Therefore at this time your purpose was to help me adjust and you have all done a great job.
Thank you!flowerforyou :heart:

The purpose of humans is to, hell ask the meaning of life while you're at it.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
