life.....?

iv been through many image issues and friendship and understanding myself and my place in the world...just wanted to know what do u think ur place in the world is/when did u discover your purpose/any life adventure stories and if any ideas as to why there is such a big difference between different lives purposes ie consumerist lifestyles compared to ppl who have roots and arent superficial

i dont think anyone really discovers their purpose in the world. a person may think they have discovered their purpose one day only to discover the next day that they feel it is totally different. someone may think their purpose is to succeed in business but soon after think their purpose is to raise a family. the concept is dynamic and i don't believe that we will ever find out our true purpose or even if we have set purposes. the reason i think people can become consumerist and superficial is down to their early years and what they have been neglected of. somone who was below the poverty line may become totally materialistic when they can. some one who is superficial may not have experienced a loving atmosphere at home
im still looking for my place, "for her life has not yet fitted itself into the shape it needs to be, as it is bent, broken, and unknowing." -- me
Life is everything. We deal with our lives day to day. I learned to enjoy the life since i had the understanding and acquired the knowledge that becomes the basis of my wisdom. We have to be contend to what life we have for life requires us to be simple and to be happy. The bottomline is we must learn to appreciate the beauty of life. We must cherish every moment of the day because at any given time we may lost it. I love my life because i love the life of others. Life is the best gift God gave it to us. Thanks to the question and have a wonderful day!
well, i have to say that i understand you ... i still have self steem problems but im trying to deal with them i still cant find out my place in life. im too young to decide wether i wanna do something with it or not; but you need to define what you like about life and see the things that make you happy ... only like that youll find someday your place in life. i hope this works to you.
As many human beings... as many paths to life can there be... the goal of each and every life being gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). In the physical manifest life... the earthly sojourn of 70 to 80 years every human being needs to find the temporal goal of life. This can easily be done by hearing the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman within that seems to come from within our heart. The voice of our soul atman always guides us on the right path. By following the path of absolute truthfulness one can distinctly hear the voice of our soul atman... never otherwise! Those dictated by ego and wanton desires can accumulate materialistic riches beyond measure. What of the inner pleasure... the happiness that comes from within! Whenever we pursue a goal in life dear to our heart... indulging in which we lose track of time... we can become Bill Gates in our life. When Bill Gates... the chief architect of Microsoft Corporation was turned out of school as an academic failure... Many would have dropped a tear in sympathy! But Bill Gates in his own measure was not a failure. He always was a success in life. Why? For he simply pursued something that was dear to his heart... the goal of his life! Bill Gates had ample faith in his capabilities. He was assisted in all his endeavors by his mother who also had absolute faith in the capabilities of her son. Coupled with the faith of his mother... Bill Gates became what he is now... not only a successful entrepreneur... a magnificent human being... but also the richest man on Mother Earth. Whatever be the goal of life... one can always become an absolute success provided we love our work... our profession... our career! When young I wanted to go in search of God. At 13 years of age my desire of finding God turned into firm conviction. Come whatever... in this very life... I shall find God! Traveling the uncharted path of spirituality... I finally overcame the five senses and the mind. Cutting across all barriers of life in 1993 I finally realized God. How many times I had to eat hell for breakfast... how many contemplations of suicide... I loved each and every stage of life. Every second of my life my goal stood in front of me. Whatever is the circumstance, I never felt disheartened permanently. Practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years I finally overcame the ocean of Samsara (worldly life). Having reached the Mount Everest of spiritual pursuit... I have nowhere else to go other than preach... rather give back to the community the pearls of wisdom I gained on the spiritual path. Since 1993 I have been doing that wholeheartedly. God Almighty has been kind to me. I can now contact at will God Almighty on one-to-one basis every second of my life! This is my last manifestation as a human being... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! I shall but gain entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism) the moment I leave my mortal frame.
