How do I find my purpose in life?

I am currently working at a job that really isn't that bad, but it's not what I want to for the rest of my life. I have yet to be here a year [next month] and I'm burned out! I reviewed the survey results for job burnout and I have four of the five symptoms for the condition. 4 of 5! I've created a career/life goal list as advised by my manager, but seeing as I am not a list guy, the list I made now resides on the backseat floor of my car. I've tried Googling solutions but that only ended in frustration and running my antivirus program. So, I'm trying my hand at reaching out to the people of the Net for some guidance. Ill thought out? Maybe. Well, I guess that's about it. Thank you for your time and consideration.

How do I find my purpose in life?
Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.





I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.





As human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.





Thus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."





You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.





The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.
