About Purposeful Life
This is probably one of the most difficult entries to write, because I am expected to give my intents and purpose for this site. Not only that, but because I am trying to write this at a time when I am not in my best 'self' and I am still asking myself, "why I am here?"
To tell you, it sounds like a very simple question, but honestly, there are no straight answers for that. From a religious perspective, especially us in the Christian faith, we would readily answer that God created us for a reason. But this answer is too vague. What is that reason? And besides, the weakness of this answer is putting the burden on God himself.
From those outside of the mainstream Christianity and those I embrace as brethren from other 'faith' , they offer almost a similar answer: we exist because of a purpose. Again, in the same token, it speaks in ambiguity. For what purpose?
What is our reason of living? our purpose of existence? the meaning of our life?
Finding the answers is not an easy path to take. I will not even attempt here to give you a concrete, unequivocal or authoritative answer. It is for you to find out.
This site aims to present insights on how we (I) live a purposeful life. It will serve as a record of our (my) journey of discovery into the intricacies, practicality, and meaning of life. Ultimately, the real purpose is that we (I) might find better ways of living a purposeful life.

Sometimes i do believe that our purpose here is only one. That "one" is a consolidation of many.
Our purpose is to live what's in us, so that others may see it and also live with it.
God bless you brother.
Since God was always of big fan of the K.I.S.S., principle in its simpliest form, I believe our purpose is "to love one another" and forgive everyone their trespasses. I believe if we kept these two principles in mind we would be living our purposeful life.
I am trying to start a grass roots movement to Help seniors find a purposeful life again but rediscovering their vitality. I hope you post some words of wisdom on my site www.everything4seniors.ca
I congratulate you on your efforts and God bless.
I would recommend you check out abook by U.S. Andersen called "The Magic in Your Mind". It answered alot of the same questions that you are asking in your post. I commend you for being brave enough to seek out those answers. You are on the right path to self discovery.
