Maybe you don’t need to know your purpose at this moment. Maybe your purpose for now is just to survive this low point. Go to a coffee shop or library and spend an hour reading, people watching, sitting in the sun. Take life one moment at a time right now. Laugh at something silly. Go to the park and watch children play so freely. Each day, take a small step.
What might your purpose be if you were to have one. What do other people consider their purpose to be and whatever that is, would it necessarily be appealing?
No one ever has all of the answers. My purpose changes all of the time! Had I taken my own life when I was low, I would have missed some many wonderful moments. Don’t worry about your purpose – just start wanting to live. When I fed the homeless last, I watched 2 little girls whose mom has no idea where their next meal is coming from. To see how happy they were just to eat made me realize that I lived to see that wonderful moment. Is it wonderful that they are poor? no! But watching strangers pull together to help each other is an amazing thing. And those little girls helped me more that day than I could ever help them. You don’t have to know your purpose today. You will figure it all out along the way.
that statement is -imo- full of shit .. in your situation, all you can really do is try to take one day at a time .. it’s maddening and confusing to be alive not having the slightest idea of what you’re supposed to do or become, I know
we’re trained to NOT live in the moment, even though our past is memories and our future can only be imagined .. how fucked up is that ? as far as I’m concerned, I’m working on internalizing a ‘living in the moment’ mindset
@nbarules that’s just laughable you think that’s everyone’s purpose is to be born, live a life that’s going to be full of shit but still try to be a good person just so when you die you can go live in fairyland and live with some spiteful old wizard? no thanks… let me die and just let me sleep forever
I do belive in God but the question is what to do with my life here on Earth?? I feel lost
If I kill myself I’ll go to hell but what is there to do when you don’t like life??
i just gave up all notion that there’s a heaven and hell and if there were i still wouldn’t believe that’s where’d we’d go after death…i do know how hard that can be i was very religious when i was younger… but if you hate life and can’t kill yourself i’d say stick to whatever you believe in and make that your passion

People don’t really have a purpose. They just think they do.
the only purpose of life is a test

What’s the point of living this life if I don’t know what to do with it?

“everyone has a PURPOSE in this life”

the answer to your question is whatever you want as long as you lead a good life god will be happy
