Hi Seeker,
People have been asking that question since the beginning of time. The Book of Ecclesiastes and the Bhagavad-Gita are two texts which might be of interest to you.
I found that it all boils down to either serving God and/or living according to your true nature.
Another theory is that we are here to experience life that only we can in our unique way ~ and that God then experiences that through us as we are part of God.
Forget your Shoulds or “I think”s. Do what lights up your eyes and puts a spring in your step. And if you can find something that also helps other people then that’s even better!
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
