What is the highest purpose of life?
Something to strive for that is bigger than you. We all want to matter and to make a difference in the world, at work, or in someone else’s life. Our Higher Purpose is how we find deep meaning and fulfillment in our lives by contributing to someone or something that is bigger than ourselves.
What does the Bible say about the purpose of life?
In one sense, you are always living in God’s purpose. Nothing can happen without God ordaining it. Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” This is key in understanding God’s purpose for your life. God has numbered your days and will fulfill every purpose He has for you.
What is the purpose of living?
There is no purpose of living. Living is the purpose. You contribute to life. And call me crazy, but I find happiness and satisfaction in that.
Does life have no purpose?

Why is it important to take care of life?
Life is a gift; some people depart too soon and don’t have the fortune to know life. Those who have it should enjoy it. Our lives are not only our own. They also belong to those who surround us. We should take care of ourselves because we are important to others—even though we sometimes forget it. Each new day is a new experience.
Should work be the defining feature of Our Lives?
But I would argue that, even if your job does provide you with flow, work should just be an aspect of our lives, rather than its defining feature. Working 40 hours a week makes our lives become narrow and constricted, so that we lose sight of whole vistas of possibility—of activity and adventure—outside it.
