Purpose
Purpose is a result or a goal of an action intentionally undertaken
According to some philosophies, purpose is central to a good human life.
Most people hold that God is the force that created life, assigns purposes or potential purposes to people and that it is their mission to discover and fulfill them. Free will allows the reality that some will not complete their mission- while others will thrive with this freedom.
Natural tendencies may determine what sorts of purposes a person needs to pursue, but may not necessarily guarantee that he or she will pursue them, that being dependent on free will, or external factors such as location and available resources. Oftentimes, it is fundamental for one to attempt to fulfill the purpose one feels is theirs. But in some occasions, fulfillment of purpose is halted by the fear that the purpose one is trying to fulfill won't be fulfilled due to personal failure. In other words, someone who feels that they have a purpose, they must fulfill might not attempt to do so because of fear due to lack of resources or confidence.
Modern spiritual philosophy sees the purpose in life as improving the environment and world condition for all beings. In the most general sense, this means each individual must find their special talents and these gifts are then meant to serve others. In pursuing life from this perspective one may experience joy at the level of the soul. With this idea the personal and highest individual purpose of life is pursuit of soul level happiness. This is the first bliss that has followed the individual from birth. In most instances, it begins with the desire for acceptance and evolves to discovery of the individual’s genius or gift. Several methods exist for determining the soul's particular gifts and strengths, and thus its life purpose, such as the Life-Purpose System originally formulated by Dan Millman in his book The Life You Were Born to Live.
There is also a system I am most fond of, this method can be discovered in my books- Introductions…a story about God and Created (being released September 2012) With this method presented in a story format- the focus is on the individual and how choices all thru life create our past and our potential futures. Discovery of enlightenment, mindfulness and the ability to consistently and accurately make decisions is key.
Regardless of what method one chooses to accomplish the goal of seeking to clarify one's purpose in life, the purpose of life is to be aware of one's purpose in life and begin to discover how to optimize all talents or gifts.
