I wouldn't say that defining your life purpose is "bad" - I think of it as more of a tool. Some people will find it a useful tool, to be able to set down in words exactly what they feel their life purpose is. But I don't think it's a tool that everyone has to use. If it feels right to you, then go for it.

I like your point about the congruence between the inner you and "you". It seems to me that our life purpose, while having a consistent core, nevertheless is always evolving. That's what makes defining our life purpose in concrete words just a tool, but for many, it's an effective tool.
