Life Purpose and Enlightenment

What's the point of pursuing our Life Purpose if we don't need it to be enlightened (which is said to be what truly makes us fulfilled)?    I am currently working on making my Life Purpose my full-time career, but I am questioning whether it's worth continuing.   Wouldn't self-transcendence contradict every need below it on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs?    Is it better to have my life-purpose in place before pursuing enlightenment? (If I plan on becoming awakened in the future that is)
