    Q:
    1.What this life is for

    A:
    -life is yours to experience.
    It is a gift of animation.
    A chance of being whatever you can be.

    Q:
    2. Do I owe my life to God?
    No!
    No, because God would not ask anything from you.
    So you don't owe Him anything.

    You owe your life to your soul.
    Though your soul is part of God.
    Everything you are and everything you do will affect your soul and only your soul.
    Your soul is forever yours.
    And it carries with it all the consequence of your decisions and actions.

    You could never be the master of your life in Earth.
    Unless your soul is already on the masters level.

    Normal earth souls here are just student souls.
    Earth is not a school for masters degree.
    Earth is a low level school, much like and elementary school.

    Humans do not have the skills and soul-level to master his life here.

    you are mistakenly wrong to say that Humans do not have the skills and soul-level to master his life here. if you are saying "humans" then you must be referring to all humans. But this is not the case as their are people who have taken hold of esoteric wisdom from the ancients and utilized certain techniques to liberate themselves from suffering. If Gautama Siddharta did it, why can't we? If Christian Saints did it, why can't we? If the fat guy next door did it, why can't we? Ordinary humans do not have the knowledge, but they have the skills to apply certain knowledge and techniques to attain enlightenment if they are given the privelage of such wisdom to do so.

    The purpose of every human being is to live his life
    and use his abilities to accomplish a task given to him by God.
    Everyone of has different reasons why we are here on Earth.

    But the general role for man here on earth is to make this world a better place.
    That is why there are:
    inventors and innovators.
    there are mathematicians and scientists.
    there are artists and master craftsmen.
    teachers and educators.
    They are here to make this world a better place.

    To those who are still asking for the meaning of life,
    we are here to experience whatever God wanted us to learn and experience.
    Earth is just a school for souls.
    Our souls are here to learn.
    What we learn here will enable our soul to level up.
    I agree!

    I want to add my own answers to my question (hehe). I believe the purpose of our life is to love, and to be loved. To live, to bear fruit, to become the best persons God created us to be, to learn, and to constantly evolve and become better.

    I really love that verse from the Bible which said that we must love God with our whole heart, with our whole soul and with all our strength and with all our mind, and our neighbor as ourselves. Those are God's greatest commandments to us, right? I think that verse clearly spells out for us the purpose of our lives. We are endowed with those gifts -- we were given minds, hearts, souls, and bodies -- and God wants us to develop and use them to the fullest; in doing so we give glory to Him and we show our love for Him.

    Until now we are still learning the nature of man.
    We could never learn enough.
    God created man as a complex being.
    We still have a lot to learn to really say what is the nature of man.
    But the basic nature of man is to survive.
    Our body and mind is designed to survive.
    That is one of the the basic natures of man.
    I agree!

    Grabe ka-complex ang nature sa human being no? I mean, it's so hard to describe, because it's so mysterious and it seems so boundless.

    Unlike other "things" or creatures in this world, man is so complex. Birds fulfill their nature by "singing" (or chirping), eating, mating, etc. Stones fulfill their nature by, well, being themselves. Trees fulfill their nature by growing and bearing fruits. Man, well, we seem to fulfill our nature by doing more complex things; more than just eating, sleeping, mating, we also seem to find great fulfillment by developing our potentials, by struggling and growing, creating, learning, contributing, loving, suffering, sacrificing, and much more.

    Yet it's quite weird no, na kita ra ang mga creatures in this world nga oftentimes wala naga-fulfill sa atong nature? I mean, birds automatically live out their "bird-hood" (heh) shortly after they are born, pero kita humans, most of us find it difficult to become truly alive, truly human; or we choose not to live out our nature, our potentials.

    I also remember this quote somewhere. It went something like, "Your deepest desire is also God's will for you."

    I believe our true purpose in life lies in our deepest being. What makes us truly happy, truly fulfilled? Or, what are those things that when we do them we feel truly alive, truly happy and joyful, and at peace, wherein we can say to ourselves, "This is it! This is what I was born to do! This is really who I am!"?

    I believe that whatever those things are that make us truly happy and that truly satisfies our deepest desires, those are the things that God wants for us. If we discern and acknowledge and affirm that there is a God who exists, then we can also acknowledge that he created us, that he created our hearts and its needs and capacities, and that he knows our deepest longings, and whatever those things are that can satisfy those longings, those are also the things he desires for us.

    I used to believe that our purpose in life is limited to a single task or a single vocation. I used to ask myself, What do I really want to do? Who do I really want to become? Will I be happy as a doctor? As a nurse, engineer, architect, or a teacher? I now believe that God's will for us is wider than that. I believe he will be happy with whatever will be our decision, as long as it will make us truly happy and fulfilled; he can be happy if we choose to become a doctor, for example, or an architect; those professions serve him in their own unique ways; the important thing is for us to be truly, genuinely happy.

    thank you...
    @Soul Doctor: I hope okay lang mu contribute pud ko sa question above.

    @jlodarl: My suggestion to you mam is to write a personal mission statement. Do you have one? Your personal mission statement summarizes your deepest values and principles, what's really important to you, who you really want to become, and what you really want to do and accomplish.

    I've learned a lot from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" ni Stephen Covey. Like you, it's a challenge for me too, to write my own mission statement and to set goals and act on them; to be constantly motivated and passionate about my dreams and plans, etc. It's a day to day challenge, but I like it hehe... So I suggest you pick the book up, if you haven't already read it.

    Anyway, I really believe having our own mission statement is very important. We won't have any sense of direction and purpose if we don't have one. Organizations, for example private companies, have mission statements, without one they won't have any direction, they will fail in the venture.

    After writing our own mission statement we must plan and set goals based on it. It helps a lot also if our goals are specific and time-bound. We must clearly picture them out and set deadlines, and each and every day we must do something to achieve that particular goal. "We don't have to do a thousand things. We just have to do something," said Anthony Robbins. So we must do something, even just one thing, on a daily basis.

    If dali ra ta mapul-an sa ato goals, we must evaluate them and try to see if they are still aligned to our mission statement. Stephen Covey said something like if we are not able to do something about our goals consistently, if we are bored or if we lose our drive to act on our goals, that is probably because we haven't really taken our mission statement to heart. The only solution is to have discipline. That means we have to become "disciples" of our values and principles. We must have a burning "yes" to our dreams, goals, values and principles (our mission statement) for us to be able to say "no" smilingly to the things that are not important in our lives.

    Just my two cents.
