Nothing exciting. I am an international student studying Accounting and Finance in Australia. I study hard because my parents pay for everything I use in Australia and I don't want to fail a subject and waste their money. I do not have a job because I am lazy and do not want to work as a labour. I do not have many friends because I cannot afford to waste time having fun. So what I do daily is just study study study and when I am bored, I watch TV, browsing internet, call mum, or spend some time with my boyfriend.

These seem like your values and beliefs about yourself in the way you stated it. From my perspective, studying in Australia seems like an interesting opportunity to go out and see the Australian country

But I know I don't love Accounting, that was mum's choice so I had to study that's all.

It is ok if you don't love it and you are still searching. I graduated in Mechanical Engineering 20 years ago and I didn't overly like the classes. The reality of the workplace and school do not have much to do with each other. I suspect accounting school and real world business are the same.
What do you love to do? What are your skills that other people say you are good at? What could you do every day doing what you love and what you are good at that will increase the value for other people?

I am really desperate to find a purpose in life because I think this would enable me to live more consciously and happily, eventually I will be able to achieve what I want in life.

You can make it your number one goal to find your definite purpose. It lies within you. It is there if you listen and take the time and effort to get quiet and be still.

This is why I am here and I request you to help me.

Request granted. You have been helped. There is some very good advice in this thread.

My question is: What should I observe from my boring routines? (Being a good student? A good accountant? A good daughter? Or what?) How do my actions now relate to my goal in the future? What steps I should follow to find my life purpose? Can someone tell me please?
|
What do YOU observe from YOUR routines? If everything is exactly as it is meant to be (which it is), where are your lessons learned right now? I have not seen your stated future goal. Your actions right now are all that are real. Your actions or non-actions now are what matter. The future does not exist, the past does not exist, you exist now, what are you doing with the now?
Have you tried meditation to go within yourself? If you can get to that quiet pure place, the answers will lie there. It's a wondeful place to be.

Mum always says that I am a student so I should concentrate on my studies. So I shut up and study hard. But inside my heart I wish I could have a life purpose which I can think of everyday and working hard towards it. I really hate living without a purpose.
|
Mum's are like that. What does mum get out of you being an excellent student? Why is it important to her? How is your obedience to her helping you right now? What is there to be learned from this for you?
You have a life purpose, you just need to remember it.
