"The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others." - Albert Schweitzer
Albert Einstein, made a remark. He said, "Strange is our situation here
upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet
sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily
life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the
sake of other men." What a remark indeed.
I see many people aimlessly jump from one career, or one job to another, most for thrill of it, yet others for the financial gains and still some more, to find happiness. This is vanity. Acquiring all the money in the world isn't fulfillment. It is bondage. Do I mean that money isn't good? Absolutely not. I could do with a lot of it now myself. However, my point is, that we're all born, made in God's image and sent to earth for a purpose - to help others. True happiness and fulfillment comes from living a purposeful life. For those wondering, how to find their purpose. The answer is, "What do you have in your hand?"
The key to finding purpose is recognizing what you have in your hand - presently - and work it. Moses had a rod, the widow had a jar of oil, David had a sling, Samson had the jawbone of an ass. In finding purpose I do not mean you should go looking for a sling or a jar of oil. No. Identify that thing you do now, even though you're not being paid for it. Whatever it is. For some it will open more doors that will lead to your ultimate purpose. For some others it will prepare you. Just identify it and do it like no other person will. Your purpose, whatever it is, is tied to helping another person.
