Default What if your life purpose ends abruptly?

I had brainstormed and come up with the following life purpose:

"to conquer man"

I thought it was perfect. I like it because it is broad so I have many career and lifestyle choices. I like the darkworker and fantasy elements. In conceiving it, I was working from place of joy not anger.

But then I thought, maybe I am already doing that. Maybe my every interaction with people is a manifestation of that purpose. What if I end up accomplishing this too early? What if, because I am no longer angry, I have already done that?

A life purpose is not a goal you reach and then you're done; rather, it's a way of being that inspires you to live into.

For instance, my life purpose, until recently, was: to boldly generate and facilitate free-flowing love and joy -- and that purpose inspired me whether I was doing it or not; it was a guide for living a life I love. It still inspires me, but my new purpose inspires me more: To be a Joy Activist! How will I ever know if I'm there? Well, in each new moment I can ask myself, am I living as a Joy Activist, which I know inspires me, or am I not? And the answer I give myself is feedback for living a life I'm in love with.

You just can't fail.

That makes sense, thanks, you are indeed a joy activist.
