Although this is kind of unrelated to this site, I am wondering what do different people make as the purpose for their lives. What do you consider as the most important thing/goal in life? What do you devote your life to? What do you want to accomplish, how do you want to live your life knowing that you will eventually die? And how do you feel about the fact that you will die some unpredictable day?

Personally, it’s about being able to look myself in the mirror each day and to be proud of the person I see staring back at me.
Like far too many others, my early life was incredibly difficult. People who know me now are surprised to find out about my youth. I have made myself into the person I need to be and want to be, not the person that my circumstances should have turned me into.
When I am gone, I know that I will have had a positive impact on those who are close to me and I could not ask for anything more.
What is ahead for anyone is unknown but using what has been handed to you and making the most out of what we are dealt…that’s all you can do.

Thank you girleegirl, that was beautiful.

i want to have a little contrubition to turn the world to a more liveable place..

Helping others. Particularly for me, empowering some youth to attain: an education, a sense of self worth, a desire to take care of our envirnoment, promote peace, a willingness to help those in need instead of passing by them with a blind eye and an eagerness to stamp out injustice through avenues of diplomacy. I have my work cut out for me I think....

Vineyards, there is not much to add from that repose - it is what I would say 'put in a nutshell' a bloody big nutshell at that in an extremely articulate way.

Vineyards, what about your personal meaning of life?
