Anyone where knows what their calling in life or your purpose? If so, are you currently pursing it, working towards it, or know what it is and afraid to go for it?

How many of you thought you knew what if was and as you got older or you actually pursued it, you realize that that isn't somthing you want to do and now back to the drawing board?

    Life has a "purpose"? Why can't you just live it and try to enjoy it as much as possible?

    It's to troll the threads of MFP and make comments that are a mix of funny and me being an a-hole.

    Do you not have something in life that make you push even harder? I agree that life is purpose but i think most of us do have something we strive for or push for or something that brings fullfilement in our lives. Whether it is career wise, family, hobbies, etc,, heck some ppl would say partying lol..... But just a thought....

    Yep and yep (though not as aggressively as I should).
  • I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up (in terms of career, relationship, life in general) but bumming around and trying to figure it out is cool with me. Especially as long as it involves wasting substantial time on MFP.

    Apparently I was put here to annoy and frazzle my boss, since it seems to happen without ANY effort from me at all. :laugh:

    Seriously, I don't know what my purpose is. I thought it was several things over the years, but those never really panned out. *shrug* Perhaps that is my true purpose; to be floating through without a clue, and inspiring others not to do it this way.

    I don't know...

    I don't know. I picked a career and I enjoy it, find it satisfying, push myself at it because I want to excel. It pays money, and stressing over money doesn't make me happy. I love my kids and husband and they make me happy. I like helping others when I can because again, it ultimately makes me happy.

    This my sound lame but all I want out of life is to be with a man that I love and that will love me in return, surrounded by our children and grandchildren along with plenty of animals. On a side note I'd also like to keep rescuing stray and abused animals and find them loving homes :)

    Ok. A shifty looking redhead will drop a greasy bag full of gummi bears in homemade sombreros on your front porch in an hour -_-

    The answer to the ultimate question, to life, the universe and everything is 42.

    I usually try to live by that.
