What is the purpose of life?

Have you ever questioned yourself this?

I guess everyone has at one point of time or another asked themselves this question. What is the purpose of my life? What is the purpose of my existence?

Someone sent me this quote not too long ago : Life is short. Live out its purpose as far as you can.

Yes, so what is the purpose?

Have you sometimes thought that you've figured out why you were here for? You work so hard for this purpose but life is never easy. It's always one of the hardest task and you feel that you cannot accomplish it. Then you start to feel as if life is meaningless, you cannot even accomplish what you were here for. You pick yourself up again, willing to try to achieve what you were here for, your purpose. And yet you fail again, and again, and again. How many times would you fight for this purpose before you totally give up? Or should you even give up if that is your purpose of existence? Or do you change your purpose in life?

There are really no answers. Who really knows what their purpose in life is for? You achieve certain things in life but that does not make you happy. Does that mean you have fulfilled your purpose even if you have great achievements in some areas but you still feel the emptiness? You set your one goal which you think by achieving this would have you set for life but you cannot achieve this one important goal. Does this mean you've failed in life even though you've achieved everything else which isn't as important to you?

I'm going to be a philosopher......
