Natural caregiver and traditionally this has been my strongest purpose. BUT now that my folks have passed and my son is a mature adult who doesn't want/need caregiving, I have made this my career only so that my PURPOSE going forward is to write full-bodied pieces of work and draw detail, the world around me. First sell house then be crazy, artist immersed in ART. YIPPEE! Nice post!

Peace and quiet...I grew up in a house with undiagnosed or untreated mental illness. The drama of it all just wears you down and all you want is for it just to stop and honestly I didn't care what happened to make it stop as long as it was over. Now, I have a perfect life with just me and my son's cat.

For many people what is valued most is based on feeling alone. Finding more centered answers, for me, led to studying what we as creatures are based on how we function and what differentiates our kind from the rest of the known animal world.

Our strongest purpose individually, as we percieve it, is probably only half the answer. Our purpose in Nature also counts. We are as much integrated as we are individual in our existence. To me, it would follow also in whatever purpose/s we might have.

I value love, kindness, and being creative. It can be creating a new magic trick to entertain children, remodeling my 175 year old home, landscaping, or painting in oils. I am not sure what my purpose is here on earth. I just know my desires.

Highest value is my children, my purpose was to raise them as heappy and healthy and balanced as possible. I htink I did ok, not I just try and keep my piece of the world from dying.

To improve myself and then to improve everything around me, it's the real happiness of humanity.

What I have always loved in my life has been playing music. It puts me at a different level and have a lot of fun and do not need drugs to enhance it. Starting a new band and rehearse for the first time next Sunday. After playing I feel like a demon has left me and feel full and fulfilled.

My strongest purpose is making better.

My family above all others

What I value most in life is life itself, and my purpose is enjoying what's left of it. That said, what seems to give me the most joy is problem-solving, at the philosophical level. The greatest possible satisfaction would be if all that mental gear-grinding would result in some benefit for my fellow humans... even though that possibility seems remote.

My health as without it I am not able to do much.

Learning... That's it.... Works for me. The day I stop learning, that will be the day I'll die

Well that's changed quite a bit since I've had my grandaughter ... so where as before I was a bit selfish, I now find myself just trying to be a better person. Sounds small I suppose but for me it's been a rather interesting journey. I guess love a little easier ... try to learn to be patient (that is one hell of an ongoing battle though I must say).
Be the kind of person people look up to and respect as opposed to the old me that just wanted every one to give me space or fear me .... kind of a lose lose situation there.
You may have noted I am somewhat long winded ... be a better person!

My family and friends, although that number is getting rather small. Too many funerals. My purpose at this stage of life is to stay healthy enough to enjoy the rest of my life, and to find the ultimate donut.

Do what I can as a humanitarian to promote social justice. I like to help/support the special needs community and advocate for medical and social services for people in NH.
