What gives your life purpose?

[dangoval95]

Does making a lot of money really define having lived a fulfilled life?
What little parts of your life make it worth living. Happiness, Joy, Riches, Success?

Personnaly, I could not live without onion rings and fresh pizza.

[tox]

well its not little if your wondering

[Sensationalism]

I really like hanging out with my man. I really like chilling with my cockatiel. I enjoy playing videogames. Working out makes me feel good.

But honestly sometimes I choose sleep or oversleeping to real life because dreams are more interesting or I don't feel like doing anything. The only thing that gets me out of bed is having to go to work. THEN I can do those other things I like after work. But seriously the things I like doing for fun are things I wouldn't bother getting up for. That's messed up, certainly work isn't as good as having fun. But it's the thing that makes me feel important and useful and gives me a reason to get out of bed. Sure I love my job but I don't always want to go or be there. So I guess I'm one of those people that would need a job even if I somehow got a bunch of money and was set for life. I wouldn't be able to enjoy my money and have fun unless I had a job to go to to get me out of bed in the morning. I need responsibility for life to feel worthwhile I guess.

After a hard day at work I put money in the bank... but I also chug beers in the shower and make love to sweet ladies. That my friend gives me my idea of" purpose". Going to college also buillds up confidence. That of course, and dominating on gears whilst loling at decent flash.

[Revo357912]

Looking for a purpose gives me purpose.

[mb3]

Pleasure is my purpose. Hedonism FTW!

[Gobblemeister]

Arguing with children on the internet.

[FeyDream]

My Family, Friends, Girlfriend, and every person that means something to me.

Med School and the sight of my Future as an MD.

My car haha

and My God

Those are the few things(that I can think of) that gives me Purpose in Life.

[HungarianSupermarket]

Purposefully avoiding direct questions.

[Ragnarokia]

Making others lives more enjoyable. I like knowing that things I create give pleasure to others lives, even if only for a few minutes to a few hours that is pleasure I love giving. Then when people like a lot that I do and spend a lot longer with them it makes it even more enjoyable knowing they are truly having their day lightened up.

I am very much a giving person.

[Lepy]

I'd have to say making other people laugh. It's always tickled my genitals saying something followed by someone laughing.

[Gagsy]

I think its the little things in life.

Like when my dog plays with a teddy bear on my bed, when she licks my foot randomly, when my nephew jumps into my arms laughing, or when we play games together, even just listening to him talk about something he loves in a rapid fashion, when my baby nephew smiles, when Chelsea score, when they win a big game, when its raining and I'm in it, when the sky or scenary just looks breathtaking, when my nan makes me feel special, when I get a message from someone I love, when I read or see an encouraing animal news story, when I buy something new that I've been waiting for, either a book or a game or even just a magazine, just something I enjoy, when me and my brothers all 'geek out' over the same thing, when I have money in the bank that is free, not for bills or shopping but for me, when songs remind me of things personal to me and when the men in Supernatural look particularly gorgeous.

[Lionelion]

video games, and friends, and interwebs
honestly, if i did not have at least these 3 things, i'd probably struggle with depression

or not, idk

[tonypar16]

Success and Happiness
Maybe adventure too.

[Snuff]

Masturbation

[Spirit]

i guess there really is no purpose to my life

i'm only young and of course i have those moments when i feel blessed to be alive

school just instills me with a sense of bored apathy. lazing around on the weekend is pleasurable but isn't constructive

but then you have those moments that really refresh you to life
like when you make someone you like laugh and laugh
or when i'm having an in-depth discussion with people just sitting there sharing thoughts and i love it
or when i create poetry or draw something and people get into it
or just feeling connected to the beautiful surroundings and they remind me of my childhood

[satanbrain]

The cognizance of the greater misery in other people's lives and the ability to worsen it.

I would give serious consideration to being gay for Jensen Ackles if I wasn't so homophobic.

Also family is a good movitavtor, as is sex.

[TehPoptartKid]

People's behavior and how they react and act in society.

I want to be a psychologist someday as well.

Also, money, and god gives me purpose.

Indeed.

[Wurfel-Waffles]

Passions of what I should do and on what I am doing.

[Emma]

Fear of and revealing the unknown.

[VictorKorg]

As all the above, most of us have purpose because of little things that makes us important/significant to others: family, friends, lovers, pets, children, people who likes or respect us. Even having enemies(they may vary from people or life situations to states of mind, addictions or health issues) gives us reason to exist. Share, man, share. We rarely live for ourselves, a person who lives that way is just self-destructive.

Last time I gave a surprise birthday to my little 6 year old niece. That time she went back from school crying because her teacher had scolded her by mistake. She knew she wasn't at fault, but the feeling of being scolded before her two best friends and entire class was unbearable. When she entered sobbing in her room, that was filled with so many colorful balloons they started to get out from the door nonstop. She was ecstatic, jumping with her two friends she was with, completely forgotten the earlier pain. Her friends yelled "Your uncle is sooo awesome". Then she hugged me with all her might while giving me thanks for being her best birthday of her life. I felt like i was given superpowers, so good it was.

Do you guys remember what did you want to be when you grow up? I wanted to be like Gramps and my Granduncle, two guys who raised me as a son. I wanted to be a Mentor. I wanted to be a friend. I wanted to be a Father. And sometimes I am, maybe without knowing it.
I was born sterile, maybe not to be father of one, but to be father of everyone.

So my advice for a purposeful life is:
-Have a role model
-WHY do you want to be like that role model
- What do you need to know/be/have/do right now to begin to be like that
-How are you gonna do it

You don't have to take my words too seriously, I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong, so ask other people what they do to have a purpose in life. Ask your friends, people you come across, your chat buddies, anyone who can give you a better response.

[GeneralJ]

LSD.

[Ericho]

God is pretty much the biggest thing that drives me. I guess you could say something like love, too. I don't want anyone to be offended or to make fun of me for these statements, so I guess I'm just going to live it right there.

You sound like a handjob-whore.

[1-800-CockJoke]

Vaginas and the pursuit of them.

[Tydusis]

Happiness and happiness alone.
How I get happy is entirely up to me.

[Victor-Zsasz]

Nothing.

Life has no purpose. Life has no meaning. Life has no value whatsoever.

It is my purpose to liberate people from it's cold, mind numbing grasp.

[JmdMagic]

I live to see the next day's fortunes, and one day, I will accomplish my dream. I will give the younger generation the escape from reality that they so desperately need, like I've had. I won't lie down and die until I've done so.

[HipnikDragomir]

Wanting to do the things I like and get a job of said things. Also, the thought that death is the end kinda makes me, y'know? Also, being behind everyone and not acomplishing anything. That really drives me.
