Understanding Purpose in Life

Purpose in life is defined as having a meaningful reason to exist, which is informed by a clear grasp of one’s goals and values. It extends beyond simple goal-setting to encompass deeper inquiries about the significance of actions within the overarching narrative of existence. While there are broader theological questions concerning the purpose of life, the focus here is on enhancing individual sense of purpose through practical, everyday actions. This approach emphasizes that establishing a personal purpose can be a powerful antidote to feelings of aimlessness and despair, making life feel more fulfilling.
