Is There A Purpose In Life To Be Content About

By Eula Clarke


A lot of people want to know what the meaning of life is. The question of is there a purpose in life is something that regularly comes up. This goes over in one's mind and often there is never an answer. Often this is because one is never happy and content in their lives or there is a psychological disorder.

There are many reasons why one ends up on the earth. This is up for the individual to decide. It could be something to do with their faith and their spirituality. Some people are more based on evolution. There are various theories and schools of thoughts along with people that lead these ideas.

In the Eastern faith, with that of Buddhism and Hinduism, this is slightly different, but also something that is not questioned. It is a life of karma. They believe that one day they will reach a state of reincarnation. They work towards this and this is their purpose. There are many personal reasons why people believe that they have a specific purpose for their meaning in life. They are happy and enjoy seeing their children grow up, for example. It is not something they dwell on something too much because they have lived a life which has been fulfilling.

Eastern thoughts are rather different and they look forward to a life where one will go into a state of reincarnation. This includes complete karma. They work towards this in various ways, so that at the end of their lives they will be completely fulfilled.

A lot of people have moved away from their faith and have turned to evolution as an alternative. There is a lot of proof of Darwin's theory and this is not a purpose of life for them. Man has just been put on earth because of this particular theory and people who believe in this will just accept it.

To get the most out of this life and decide that there is meaning and purpose, one must map certain things out by brainstorming. It is not a race and you don't have to do this as quickly as possible, so you can go at your own pace, but it is not good to procrastinate either. This will create more stress in your life.

One must also find out and know what you believe in and this will help you decide what your purpose is. This is important to a lot of people. It may be something religious, it may be evolution, or it may be something more personal. Being happy and content with life is the most important thing because this will keep you away from pondering on this subject too much.

It could be something personal, such as a child they have witnessed being born or when they got married. For some people who have been happy their whole lives, they will never question the meaning. A lot of people who are unhappy or who have psychological disorders will ask about this a lot more than others. Psychologists have to be ready for this question because it is often something that comes up in sessions. They have to know how to deal with it. It can be different for everyone, whether one is a teenager or an adult.
