The Purpose of Life?

Today coming back from a heavy dinner, a friend drop a bomb-shell question on me. Do I know what is my purpose in life? He must have thought I was a real bimbo coz I truly could not think why was I placed here on earth. I think I reached my mid-life crisis when I start wondering every day - what do I want, what is my purpose? Don't we all go thru this stage in life? Do u honestly know what is your purpose in life?

It can't be my job. Much as I LOVEEeee my job (*hey boss, incase u're reading this, I really really enjoy my job lots..NOT*), but for me the job is the job. I have no passion for it, and it contributes nothing to the goodness of mankind or to my self-fulfilment of life itself.
** So job <> Purpose.

Next I thought my purpose was to find a good man to marry and take care of me (told ya I was a bimbo!). But since my last breakup, I am even more sure that one cannot depend on a man. And especially u cannot make a man ur purpose in life.Ok, not gonna be a sexist so a woman also
cannot be ur purpose in life.
**So a partner might complement the purpose, BUT partner <> Purpose.

Then what? Is our purpose just to enjoy life? Don't think so either coz there was a time I went partying almost everyday, but at the end of the day instead of knowing my purpose, I am left
with a hangover and smelly smoky hair!
**So enjoy life <> Purpose.

Then my friend suggested why not I discover something I am passionate about and set that as my purpose in life. Actually did he suggest that or did he suggest me to take more holidays?!!??! Gosh, I think he might even have suggested I do more shopping since I am very passionate about shopping :D Now I am beginning to wonder too if my purpose is just to sleep and sleep and have good dreams...especially dreams of buying and buying and not have to pay a cent (tht is my ultimate BEST dream)

But seriously, do we really have to wait till we're almost dying to wonder if we have served our purpose in life? Or would we at that moment still be wondering WHAT IS MY PURPOSE in life? So now an additional burden is added to my mid-life crisis (err..actually I'm only 18 STILL). Now I have to seek to do something that makes my life more meaningful so that on the day I close my eyes 4ver, I can leave this world knowing I DID SOMETHING for it. Greaaatt...someone please remind me not to bring a complex man to watch movies like Mr.and Mrs.Smith. Somehow seeing too much of a sexy woman makes their brains tick more.

Moral of story : If u still dun know what is ur purpose in life, dun go watch movie with a complex guy :)JOKING!!! The real moral is if u're still clueless abt ur purpose in life, then get off tht lazy butt of urs and start doing some soul searching. If u think and u think and u still can't figure it out, then I got one advice. DONATE. As my friend said, maybe ur talent is to make money so u can donate it to those in need. Well.........tht's the easy way out sir!
