How Important Is Life Purpose?

[ModernArtist]

If you can't find what your purpose in life is, would you kill yourself?  How important is life purpose to you? What about goals? 
Is it possible to be happy just "as is" in the present moment without life purpose or goals to achieve?

@ModernArtist life purpose is a very important element of life, do realise that you have to spend most of your life working, so it would be good if its your life purpose, something you’re passionate about...

Spiritual enlightenment is all about being happy in the present moment without needing anything or anyone to fulfill you.

You can perspective like this:

Instead of life purpose think about  the purpose of Life. 

If you are the universe itself, your purpose is expansion. But you feel conditioned to a body so you reach expansion through experience. 

In this experience you find preferences that make you happy (expand) and you can also feel unhappy (contract)...

Following the preferences in the experience is a natural course of life but that doesn't make the purpose. 

Just be open to everything, remove your mind programs, choose to be led by love instead of fear and you will be always making your life purpose (expansion) happening.

Hope it helps

You can read the book "a new hearth" from Eckhart Tolle

@Raquel I understand how our biology is but an act of the universe, but you believe the universe's purpose is expansion?

What is the most meaningful thing you could do? 

Life purpose has this quality of ownership, as thought it's destiny or some shit.

You're not enslaved by it. It is a deep realization of your most meaningful interpretations.

I don't there there is any other code for living. Not doing what's meaningful to you is a failure. It is saying your not listening to your desites. It's being nice phrasing it as "not having a life purpose".

 I could answer you 'yes' or 'no' and give you the reasons why. Would probably make more "sense" to you but the reality is I dont seem to be capable to create a beliefs system... so I cant give you an answer that straight foward. What I can tell you is I'm open to (un)believe everything and nothing

 

Ps. I strongly recommend that book!
