purpose is for me is living after trying to kill myself. It is trying to live the best I can with my mental illness. It is loving my family and friends. It is having love and faith in God and Christ. Many things.....and then there is my poetry, which really makes me happy.

Motive

I was thinking

A Lot

I think a lot

Too much

To the point of distraction

Because I don't have enough friends

And we could all use friends

But a good poem is enough

To get me by

My Dreamscape passes through me

And sometimes I am calm

To chase The Day

Free of Desire

Seeking Truth

Finding My Heart

Your Purpose Is what You were put on This Earth to Do, what You were meant to be.
Your Purpose is the entireReason You exist, Whether It's Saving Lives or Changing People, whatever It is, IT's what Youare supposed to be.
Your Purpose is what your role in This World is, and Why You were put Here.

Your purpose is why your here. A man who was from the united states but was educated in israel told me that westerners look for the meaning of life and never find it, but easterners look for the purpose of life and fulfill it.

Purpose is what you are here for. Purpose is what helps you accomplish something in your life either day to dat or through your entire life.

I think that it isn't only what we acomplish in our day to day life, but how we go about accomplishing it. Are we fair? Did we cheat? Did we hurt someone else to get ahead? If so what did we really accomplish? I think that inside everyone has the ability to make someone feel better, to educate people about the important things in life, and if your presence or something you've said or done has touched even one person then I think you have served a purpose.

I wouldn't say it quite so bluntly, however I believe that one's purpose is the driving force behind their ENTIRE life. It may very well manifest from day to day, but I believe that the purpose is the essence of a person is who they are, what they do/have done, and what they live for.

Purpose is the reason we are here, and one cannot accomplish the reason we are here through a day to day process. Of course, that is just my point of view.

Allison, I would just like to say you are one of the three reasons I still watch Smallville. You are an incredible actress, and your portrayal of Chloe is amazing, especially as Clark's sidekick. I did have one question though. There have been rumors talking about your absence from the show next year. Yet, I have a facebook account and have talked with a friend of yours Peter, and he has said that you are not leaving. I would just like to know, has your contract ended and is this your last year as Chloe Sullivan?

life is living one day to the next. if you make a mistake one day it shouldn't dictate your whole being and existance. you should feel able to move on and be something more.

Our purpose is individual. From a simple smile to a stranger, to a life changing effect that could alter the world. we all have a part. big or small....it's all important

More over purpose, when in context of ones own life, is about finding fullfillemt. there are a number of diffrent philosophical refferences I could bring in that deal with the spesifics about the morality involved in findinging fullfillment, however my basic claim here is that ones life purpose should be to find fullfillment in ways that dont cause any harm to themselves or others. so long as there isn't anyone harmed by your actions, and your fill satfied with life, then it is my assumtion, that you are living your lifes purpose moment by moment.

Purpose is the goals, ambitions and dreams that each person sets out before them. Living your life according to your dreams is your purpose. What you have accomplished in your life when it is all over becomes your legacy.

ones "purpose" can change from day to day,one day someones purpose may be to help Mr. Jones,the next day it may be to help Mrs. Smith ,and the 3rd day it my not be anything at all.
And on top of it all, I think " purpose " is what you make it.
we should all find our " purpose " and act on it accordinly
