Living Without Regret: How Facing Hardships Helped Me Find True Purpose
My life's been much different than an average person because of lots of reasons and I found my life purpose long ago when I was kid, while growing up I faced many difficulties and challenges within my family and realised that my life purpose is going to be coming out of it and bringing happiness to the faces that I've seen upset my whole life.
My life's Purpose: is it just money or more?

One thing for sure is those who have lived a difficult and challenging life knows the value of money: it gives immense respect, freedom and overall a quality life.
Though in my case money is important but not as much as important as my family; I've only got few people left; Mom, two young brothers, grandma.
So I made my life purpose to do everything I can to see those faces happy, not worried about anything and living a quality life.
Even though I don't earn much yet I spend everything on them without thinking about what I should buy for myself, cause I know what my priorities are.
Scared of living a meaningless life
When people you care have a lot of expectations from you, it becomes a kind of fear to not live upto those expectations though doesn't mean you lost your freedom

But it encourages you to not live an average life and die living meaningless life... All of them are counting on me and so far what I've tried for them, they do believe I'll become someone in future.
Every person have their purpose of living a life, mine is taking responsibility of my fam and looking after them in every situation.
Isn't that's what every men supposed to do?
Yea, in past every men served one way or another..by going to wars, building countries and lots more.
Now life isn't that complicated like how it used to be thousands of years ago so what our purpose has become is "doing that 9 to 5 job regularly to make money" and basically everything that makes you money.
Finding life purpose isn't difficult
I've seen many people confused about "what's my purpose in life" even though it's not that difficult or complicated thing.
In my perspective, anything that gives you happiness can be your purpose in this life.

Travelling world or random places? Yea! Helping other people, yeah and much more.
When I was a kid, I made myself a promise and that promise was "I'll help everyone else through situations where I found myself helpless hoping someone will help".
Just like that we find ourselves in situations where we eventually realise, now I know what my life purpose is.
And I'm sure most of you'll agree with what I've said. I'd love to know your thoughts on this in the comments.

I quite agree with you. We all have a purpose to serve. Life is not without meaning. For some persons, they may think that they lack purpose unknown to them that their life, in some way is doing just that.
yea you're right!

You are very right with how you described what purpose is. Purpose is simply making other people happy and being there for those who need it most. In your case, trying to make your family happy is your priority and I love that you found this out at an early age.
Glad you're agree with it!
Thanks for stopping by.

You are more mature compared to your age. Maybe it's because you faced a lot of challenges since your childhood. It's good to know that you find your purpose of life but I am still thinking what's the purpose of my life.
yea I guess, though you'll find your one day or another... I believe purpose finds us... We just go on with the flow..
