Someone mentioned having a purpose to his life. So that got me thinking. What is the purpose of my life? This is a hard question for me. It is so hard that I have not attempted to think of it for a long while. Should I attempt to revisit this?
What is the purpose of my life or even parts of my life? I have not really consciously thought of it in a while. Because when I did I was stumped. I suppose I do not feel worthy of having a purpose. That might involve some kind of overarching goal.
I raised four wonderful children. Was that part of my purpose? I certainly feel satisfied with that part of my life, praise God.
Is my purpose intrinsic? I think I reject that? Maybe I do not understand what people mean by a purpose?
The only thing I can say is my purpose is to try to serve God. By serving him I love him. I just saw a variant of that as part of a catechism. That is pretty vague though. It does not leave me with specifics. When people talk about having a purpose I think they must have specifics in mind.
