Has some-one come back after they have passed on and told you that they have gone to heaven or hell? There is no life after death, that is another another great lie as well. Don't believe what people tell you....Good luck on your pilgrimmage. Heaven is right here while your alive, once you go who will have time or the luxury to enjoy heaven or hell. You come from nothing and you go back to nothing. I know terrifying thoughts if you really think about it but hopefully this makes you think for yourself? Stop taking other people's word for it Best of luck To Habib: What makes you think there is a Heaven or Hell?

Dear brother, I, as a Muslim have totaly different purpose of life. We are here in this world for a transitory period after which our distination will be heaven or hell. Therefore, our purpose of life is to save ourselves from hell. Whatever career choose we will have to make it successfull for the seck of our life after this one. Hi Jonathan

It is TOTALLY important to have a life purpose and to find it. If I would not have found out my life purpose at an early age, I don't think I would have all that I have today. My life purpose you ask? I found out that my life purpose is that life has no purpose. FREE at last, I became free at last. Life just IS. enjoy. don fromnowtozen.com I think you are very wrong about all this. It is TOTALLY important to have a life purpose and to find it.

They may be doing what they were born to do or what about Eeinstein when he found his life'e work by formulating the theory of relativity. Everyone has a purpose it's just that it takes time or many lifetimes to find it, very easy for some and very difficult for others.

Right now I am in the midst of finding my life's purpose. And they say the student always finds the teacher when they are ready. After reading your post, I realized it's not really purpose, more like "What's the purpose?" I want fulfillment and that's my purpose. A very inspiring post.

But there are other people who have found thier calling (life purpose. This is what I belive constitues a life purpose) something that lives you fullfilled and happy. As they follow your bliss!

It is wonderful to hear common sense crying from the wilderness. There seems to be a myriad of people focused wholly on one particular purpose bringing them wealth, both financial and physical. Its great to hear such a down-to-earth approach. I have experiential training in life-coaching as well as having been a chef for 27years. An interesting mix. As I deeper delved into self-development I decided to look more closely at the processes in cooking and what wisdom they might hold for personal development. They seemed to tie in quite nicely with the stages of the Hero's Journey - Preparation, Initiation and Return. The book "Your Soul Purpose" by Brendan Nichols also gives a good map for looking at our lives from this perspective. His idea is that each of us is here to "Grow and Evolve". That is our Grand purpose and this is non-negotiable. An indicator that we are on track is to first have an inspiring vision and secondly a unique vehicle to bring our vision to life. Both vision and vehicle can change as life unfolds. I guess its like trading in a car when we grow tired of it and getting a new one. When the vehicle stops working for us we either fix it or move on to something different. I like to think that it doesn't matter what we are doing as long as we are intimately connected to it, and that through being present and giving ourselves fully it we receive the innate blessings of life.
