My name is Lillian Karanime Nielsen, and my first goal in life is to become a famous, drug-addicted, anorexic, cross-dressing artist (musician first, however) that happens to do parkour.

My second goal is to use that role to stir the human spirit in ways it does not want to be stirred.

I've achieved many of the things I wanted to achieve in life. As a school leaver I wanted to be a telephonist. I became one, then I wanted to be a cook/chef, I became one. Then I wanted to be a manager and i became one, then a teacher and then a therapist. My next goal would be to have a website that delivers accredited courses in personal development so that I can go and live in a warmer country while still earning some money and be of some service to my fellow man. I'm trying.....honestly....I'm trying really hard. This SEO stuff though. Its a bit out of my league.

Same here. I strive to work on myself while helping others in the process.

This used to worry me a lot in the past. I didn't even want to have children for that reason. But I've since accepted that it is so. I know now that there is a much higher Intelligence and Order behind all the seeming injustice and chaos. Many things are still hard to accept but is much easier with this attitude.

I guess I have been fortunate in that I have always intutitvely known what my life purpose is. I've never had any of that wondering or guessing that some people have. I completely understand my life purpose to be helping people. That purpose has manifested itself as helping the mentally ill, disabled, and other groups of people.

I am here to create change; experience has led me to think this is better achieved by tackling the root causes rather than the symptoms and I hope to achieve some of this before my time in this world comes to an end.

To be with my love ones, to protect my love ones, to bring happiness to my love ones Of course I wish to make a lot of money in the future to bring them happiness... And I hope my future life partner would be the one I love really much... Sounds easy but it requires quite some hard works (at least in the money making part)...

I would say my purpose is to bring laughter and to illuminate the collective consciousness. I'd like to do both, and I feel a calling to combine the two, but it's hard to bring metaphysics into stand-up comedy. This will take most of my cunning. Wait, no, all my cunning.

Using comedy to raise people's vibrations is a gift that I intend to use not just to entertain, but also to try to wake people up to the absurdity of everyday life. This will take a ton of hard work and also possibly never hit the mainstream, but I'm willing to speak my truth if just to awaken just a few people in the process. Or maybe just stick to getting people to laugh. At least I'm still helping.

There is a oracle card deck that just came out and it's sole purpose is to help someone find their life purpose. I've used this deck already and highly recommend it, this card deck would help anybody to identify their life purpose very easily:

Amazon.com: Life Purpose Oracle Cards (9781401924751): Doreen Virtue: Books

Product Description

Before you were born, you worked with your angels to orchestrate a life mission that would help others and be emotionally rewarding. This card deck by Doreen Virtue will allow you to conduct accurate and trustworthy readings to explore that life purpose. Each of the 44 beautifully illustrated cards contains an illuminating message from the angels related to this topic.

The accompanying guidebook explains the general meanings of the cards and provides specific details that can offer more clarity about your career and spiritual path. Whether you’re seeking answers for yourself or your loved ones and clients, these cards can yield valuable insights. The angels are happy to guide every aspect of your life purpose!

I am 36 years old and realised a few years ago what one of my goals were and began to pursue that goal with a passion and drive I had not previously possessed. I am working towards becoming a Teacher and have already landed a role as a Teaching Assistant at the primary school I myself went to ;-)

However I only truly realised my Life Purpose recently.

"Life Purpose:
My Life purpose is to live without fear, to spend every moment in the quest for knowledge,understanding and spiritual growth and to love unconditionally"


I learned this though an amazing book called a Life on Purpose by Dr Brad Swift. It guides you to initially discover your Inherited Purpose which is a code you have unconsciously been living by which was programmed at a very early age. You acknowledge this reactive life purpose which has been holding you back. You are then taken through steps to help you realise your pro active True Life Purpose which is one of your conscious choosing.

The book changed my life and will continue to serve me for many years to come.

You can also find other tools and techniques through authors such as Anthony Robbins, Eckhart Tolle as well as good old Steve ;-)

I think that goals are created from asking yourself what you really want to achieve.

They stem from a whole topic on Purpose, Vision, and Goals. Purpose is why you're alive, and this is something you must discover; you can't just decide upon it. I believe everyone has been hard-wired with certain talents and natural abilities within them that they first need to discover and after that, express. My purpose is to inspire millions of individuals and help them succeed. You must go about finding what you enjoy doing and dedicating your life to it.

After purpose comes a vision. Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? Who's the person that you want to become? Goals cannot be created without you having a vision for what you want to achieve. Vision gives you direction; it allows yourself and others know where you want to go in life. They can be in alignment with your purpose; they can be something that you want to improve about yourself. With the limitless potential you have, just ask yourself what you want to achieve.

Goals is the last one. They help take you from where you are now to where you want to go. They are the connecting step between your current results and those you desire. Build the vision first before the goals. Figure out where you want to go and then move in the direction.

One important thing is that you do not have to know "how" you're going to achieve your goal at the start. In fact, many teachers say that if you know how to achieve a goal you have, then the goal's too small. Just take the first step in faith and the next step will become come to you when you finish the first one.

Hope this helps!

To Your Success,
Matthew Cluff

what is my life purpose

MMMM dunno, its possible there is no purpose, all our life we have made choices and reacted to external stimuli
then something changes where we believe we can guide universal forces to create our desires as opposed to external stimuli controlling us.

That is perhaps a process not a purpose, i can reflect back to my childhood/teenage years/young adult/new parent and experienced parent. The most prevalent thing has been a joy and desire to build and create with my hands, also to have a special companion ( wife ) and create a family with the concept of happy families and happily ever after paramount. Its going well on both fronts.

I accept the fact through biology my physical body dies maybe twice a year, as every cell replaces itself twice a year or so. Thats fine i can move on and forgive everything based on this premis, as that version of me died, any percieved wrong dooer is also dead based on the same logic. So in reality there is no one to forgive, and nothing to forgive as both are just a memory.

Maybe my purpose is to go through the process as diverse and wonderful as it has been, even in percieved moments of undesirability. Experience is everything as it gives depth. Everything else is theory and philosophy

I always thought my purpose was based on helping people but it has taken me many years to realize that not everyone has to have a purpose,career,job etc etc based on helping people .........

so you guys will be the first to hear my real purpose

to help in the teaching of compassion towards Mother Earth and all that she provides for us

Iono. I could say "helping people" or "making the world a better place" but I tend to think that's kind of BS.

My purpose is to be as aware as I possibly can right now in this moment.

That single concept has made me incredibly happy compared to how I used to be. Don't stress about finding your purpose, just become more aware and it will come to you.

Not exactly BS, but almost BS.

I recall

When I was young, I aimed to change the world to make it a better place to live

Then I decided to change the town to ..

. And at my death bed I realised that all I needed to change was myself

Right now my lifes purpose is to try and live MY life instead of a life that others (family, friends, society in general) seem to think I should have.

It's a challenge, for sure!

As for the bigger picture, well, who knows? Maybe just taking moments to smell the roses is enough of a purpose to aim for?

My primary purpose is to Follow... God/Jesus & teach others how.

My next purpose is to continue Happy & Youthful... & teach others how.

Another purpose is to become the Figure skater I want to be, so the 2 of us can Pair skate...

The only way to achieve these 3, is to hand the reins over to my Subconscious mind...
