To be a kind, understanding, supportive, funloving wife and mum

To express myself every day thro song, music and dance and for others to enjoy my creative expression

To help others help themselves, to gain an understanding of the inner self

To give love to as many as I can

To have fun, fun, fun

To reach a level of understanding and acceptance of my parents before they pass over to the other side (I feel this is coming - thanks be to God)

To maintain my love and awe of the higher power which I feel in my life everyday

To SHINE SHINE SHINE when and wherever I can

One of the things that touched me was when I asked my music teacher where he had inherited his musical ability from and he answered "my mother was a singer" - I thought ooohhh I would love my son to see me as that. Well my purpose was fulfilled, as yesterday he grabbed the broom and started to sweep the floor, whilst singing loudly and enthusiastically, saying "who is this" and then 'this is you Mummy".

To forgive others more readily

To make a difference in the world - to have others says "aahh she was the one that...........

But my biggest purpose of all, which has already been fulfilled is:

TO LOVE AND BE MYSELF !!!!!!!!

How about you AG - would love to hear xxx

I was born with an exceptional amount of compassion for people, animals and nature. So I think one of my biggest purposes is to Love and protect others. To make people feel accepted and unthreatened in a sometimes very judgemental world.

This goes along with the last purpose, but I LOVE exploring different cultures, traveling and befriending as many different kinds of people as possible. I don't know why, I've just been that way since I was very young. I think this is a gift I was blessed with, to see the good in everyone.

I also know that what the world is doing to women's sexuality and their bodies is wrong. I want to work to bring back the values of the female divine and help people see the REAL beauty of women.

To help people see past gender stereotypes

To listen to people's stories/ troubles and offer support. I want to be a spiritual psychologist.

Well..I think thats enough to keep me busy for now, hehe.

I just realize my purposes sound like that of a Pisces...

Purpose? To serve. Whatever it is, it must help others in some way. That is what life is about.

"I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve."

Until then I am a window looking outside from the inside and looking inside from the outside of this mystical realm I call home

Getting close now...

My purpose...

To learn how to develop productive relationships with others by first developing a productive relationship with myself.

Wow, if only you people knew how unbearably annoying the people, whose purpose in life is to "help other people" or "to love and nuorish" or somesuch other crap are to an independent observer... Ironically, they seem to be the very same people who perpetually can't seem to get their OWN sh!t together.

I am very ambitious and there are goals I have that i want to achieve but that's not really a PURPOSE.. the purpose beneath the goals would still ultimately be to be in a position where I can help ppl.. have the money necessary to do that (it's amazing how much depends on money.. ppls lives sometimes) And it's a really nice feeling to be able to help ..

That is somehow 'crap' to you?

Very interesting.

I'm not trying to sound like Mother Theresa. I dont even like her.

That is just how I feel. You will never be happy unless your work in some way benefits your fellow man. And no, I dont have my **** together yet, but I'm working on it. Who says you have to be perfect before you feel something as Truth within you and take action towards that?

A Perfect Circle, right on brother....(or sister, sorry, I dont know.)

I think to everyone who's had tragedies in their life it IS important to HELP people.. I know it is to me very much so.. and I don't mean it in a global "omg help the people" kinda way.. I mean help whoever I can help with whatever I can help them with..

Very well said

Hey 26Taurus! Yea we can never have to many old souls around here

A Weasel, why in the world would insult what we consider our purpose in life?! You knew you would offend many people by saying that and yet you didn't care. All I'm going to say is that I think that was an insensitive thing to say, but you already know that.
