Although I am not fully acquainted with the Hicks material (yet), I think you may have misunderstood.

Abraham says that we're here to create. He also says that the process can be, and should be, joyful; because when you experience positive emotions, you are in your most powerfully creative state.

I don't see this as being incompatible with the idea that there is a deeper purpose to your life, and that you're here to fulfill that purpose. In fact, I would think that if you were to find and commit to that deeper purpose of yours, you WOULD be joyful. Your creations would then be towards your deeper purpose/

To offer a simple example, if your deeper life purpose is to heal people, you would find it meaningful (and joyous) to be a doctor. If you then applied LOA, you could create events etc that would lead you to be a better doctor, to help more sick people etc.
