life help: What do you do to find your purpose in life? - Help.com

Through education and travel.

If that doesn’t work, you can settle for a kid or religion.

How old are you?

try every thing! try everything untill you find what you like to do!

Again, how old are you?

keep trying! i personnaly would have a purpose the minute i get a kid, but….

Do you have a proffession or trade or something you actually enjoy doing?

lots of people who have kids get mad cause they themselves don’t have anything to live for but the betterment of the kid, i would find a hobby, like for example, my mom takes stained glass classes every thursday and has her own workshop for it

i personally feel i better myself by bettering others so i would be happy with a kid.
might i ask how old you child is? perhaps old enough to give you help and time with a hobby?

Sounds like you are frustrated with yourself. You think you are not accomplishing anything with your life?

you, by raising your child are accomplishing the greatest task possible.
we, after all, are meerely here to reproduce and keep the race alive.

of course, we all want more that that, so go find a hobby or get an instrument. make your kid really smart so he can make you proud

We all have a purpose. To some of us it will take longer to reach us. We don’t really try to find it; sometimes it finds us. Do you realize how precious it is to have your kid and to actually have procreated? I know what you’re thinking, “I want my own special purpose; no my kid’s” Well when the time comes, your kid will also try to find his own special purpose. You as a parent well serve in guiding him towards that special purpose. We don’t all have to climb Mount Everest to feel accomplished. We don’t all have to win the Nobel Prize to feel accomplished. But there are those little things that we do on a daily basis that sometimes give us that feeling and the feeling of having accomplished something. It may not be the purpose that we are looking for but it’s something. I am at a stage in my life where I don’t feel that I have accomplished my purpose in life. However, I feel that sooner or later when I least expect it that special purpose is going to sneak up on me and it will find me. I will try in the meantime not to feel frustrated or left behind, like I am sure you feel now. I see you read my joke. I like making people laugh. Maybe that is my purpose; I’m just not sure. I feel accomplished when I hear that people laugh at some of the jokes I tell.
Life is funny. It will let you go around the block and sometimes you don’t know why you went there but you will be there. What you do once you get there is what really defines you as a person as a mother or a daughter.
Don’t feel deppressed or down on yourself. You will find people around you who try to keep you down so they can get ahead in life and go farther than you. You will find those selfish people who will try to trip you on the road of life while you try to find your purpose because they are jealous that you are at least able to try to find that purpose or have the drive within you to keep going.
Never let that fire in your belly go out. That fire in your belly is what will give you strength and steam in your engine to keep going. I don’t know you, but from you are asking and from what you have said, you sound like a beautiful person inside out. You sound like a person who is always trying to contribute even when people did not ask you. You sound like the kind of person who wants to be noticed in a huge crowd of people even if you happen to be wearing the same thing or look exactly alike. Don’t give up. Don’t stop. Stay focused on that wonderful life that you have as a mother, as a daughter, as a wife (I’m assuming you’re married), and as a sibling. Those are all purposes that we all have in life. But, in your case there maybe more, you have not stopped to think and analyze those purposes. Look around you. Look at that wonderful mother you have who helps you with your son when you need help. Look at your son who smiles that innocent smile that makes you smile when you’re sad. Don’t despair. Dessperation is the partner of bad decisions. When you feel dessperate, you will make bad decisions and your judgement will be clouded by those bad decisions. Don’t give up on your special purpose. Keep that fire in your belly alive and burning. It will come to you and sooner than you think.

I was assuming you were married. I was typing my reply from the beginning that I saw your post. Even as a single mother you have purpose in life. KEEP LOOKING. DON’T GIVE UP.

They always leave me alone because they know by now that I type long responses. Sigh!

uh I usually just cause things to happen that I have to tend to, this way I know what to do with my self for a while. for example. If I am bored I can make food and eat then I have to wash the dishes and the stove which keeps me busy for at least a couple of hours. unless of course I don’t feel like doing anything. then I can always go outside and find someone to hangout with and see if I could make them bored with me.

itll come to you do what you love
