Introducccion
Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life—
the reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide life
decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction,
and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to
vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in
their responsibilities to their family or friends. Others seek meaning
through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their
purpose clearly expressed in all these aspects of life.
Purpose will be unique for everyone; what you identify as your path
may be different from others. What’s more, your purpose can actually
shift and change throughout life in response to the evolving priorities
and fluctuations of your own experiences and knowing these we need
to be careful with the situation of the pandemic because if we want to
achieve all our goals, we need to survive this sickness.
Purpose of life
Since we as human beings developed the ability to think rationally and analyze our
surroundings, we have been curious about why things are the way that they are.
This holds true on both a relative level, such as when we want to know how
organisms have evolved, and an absolute level, such as when we ask more broad
questions about meaning, god, and the nature of the universe.
Sometimes when we ask a question, we need an immediate answer. At other times

the most appropriate response is to consider why we are asking the question in the
first place. This is particularly relevant for these broad, often subjective questions
that have no clear-cut answer.
People come to wonder about the purpose of life for a number of different reasons.
Maybe they’re just inherently curious, or they’ve recently experienced a family
tragedy, maybe they’re questioning their faith, or they’re going through a
depression and are looking for a renewed sense of meaning.
How to find the purpose of your life?
To find the purpose of life you’re going to need to do some digging. Because there
are so many answers to this question, it’s important that you find the one that
resonates with you. It must give you enough of a feeling that it satisfies your need
to ask that question. As I touched on, this starts with knowing why you want to
know the purpose of life in the first place.
The purpose of life is to be happy
one of the most obvious conclusions we may come to is the need to be happy.
Popular psychology will often promote happiness as the highest virtue, and this is
reflected in mainstream Buddhist teachings as well, such as those of the Dalai
Lama. Unfortunately, we often don’t know exactly what happiness is, and it can
therefore, be hard to find. To know how to find happiness, and whether or not it is
an adequate purpose to your life, you need to first discover what happiness means
to you. Once you have a crystal clear image of whatever that is, you can start to go
after it and see if it gives you the sense of purpose that answers the big question.
The purpose of life is to leave a legacy
In the hyper-competitive world in which we live, leaving a legacy is often implicitly

put forth as the highest virtue. Leaving a legacy is one way that we will feel valued
in society and remembered after we have gone. However, this doesn’t need to be
achieving something on a grand scale, such as building a business empire or
becoming a successful athlete – it could simply mean starting a family and leaving
the world a slightly better place than when you came here.
The purpose of life is to love others

All major philosophies and religions have espoused the importance of love. Love
seems to be a healing agent to human suffering and something that connects us
across time and culture. When we are able to love others unconditionally, we see
our environment naturally become a more stable and fruitful place, and the lens
through which we see the world is more positive and productive.
The purpose of life is to create your own meaning

Since Nietzsche proposed the death of god over one hundred years ago, we’ve
seen a dramatic decline in the widespread mainstream adoption of world religions.
What has followed has varied greatly, however, in secular societies existentialism
and humanism are two philosophies which have become relatively popular. These
ideologies propose that meaning is something that we create, not something that is
given to us by a higher power. The purpose of life therefore according to
existentialist philosophy, is to create your own meaning and to bring it to fruition.
The purpose of life is to make a positive difference

Making a positive difference may seem like a cliche and underwhelming purpose,
but when we make an effort to do so on a practical level, meaning ensues,
because we see the fruits of our labor in real time. Again, it’s necessary to stress
that making a positive difference need not be anything huge. We’re conditioned by
social media and popular culture to think only a grand scale influence is worthy of
pursuing, but the reality is that small, visible changes are often more personally
rewarding.
Coronavirus
the coronavirus pandemic represents a completely unprecedented circumstance,
as novel as it is life-changing. No event in recent history has affected us as
profoundly and pervasively.
Not only does it remind us of our physical fragility, it undermines economic
security, throws daily routines topsy-turvy, wreaks havoc on plans and isolates us
from friends and neighbors. The coronavirus pandemic is scary. Everyone can be
infected. No one is exempt. No matter what your station in life, your status, power
or popularity, the virus still can get you.
The coronavirus pandemic could be the most significant event that will occur in our
lifetime and will likely have long-lasting effects on marriage, family formation,
poverty, and health in the world. Some have pointed to the positive effect of the
pandemic on bringing families together, but researchers have also shown that
entering the job market during a period of economic turmoil can have long-term,
negative consequences for young adults. In midlife, they earn less (while working
more), are less likely to be married, are more likely to be childless, and are more
likely to die prematurely compared with young adults who enter the workforce
during a healthier economy. [14] Young adults who entered the job market during
the Great Recession are still feeling the impact.
Conclusion
 Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your

life—the reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can
guide life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a
sense of direction, and create meaning. For some
people, purpose is connected to vocation meaningful, satisfying
work.
