Why are you here What do you want in this life?

Since a child, I've always felt the greatest fulfillment and happiness when I have gone beyond what is 'expected' in doing something positive for others. It sounds 'cheesy' when put into words, but it is true. Nothing has ever brought warmth and joy to my heart like reaching out to someone who has a need that I can fill or a burden that I can, at least partially, ease. This does not apply to what I do for my family members or my personal friends, because I am 'meant' to be there for them. (It is an intricate part of the relationship.) It is when I can honestly touch the life of a mere acquaintance or a veritable stranger that I feel something akin to ecstasy.

I never thought of that as my 'purpose' though, until six years ago, when I began to be able to reach out beyond the living, to help the dead and those who love them. When I began to hear those who are dead and now in spirit speak to me in audible voices and was able to communicate in serious and straight forward conversation with them, I realized that all my past was preparation. That 'need' that I had to empathize with others and give of myself to them is what allowed me to develop what people consider a very unusual ability. (Of course, the skeptics would say 'an impossible and non-existent one' but I cannot worry over that.) Had my greatest pleasure and happiness not come from changing/impacting the lives of others, I do not believe I would EVER have been given this ability to reach beyond the physical realm, and so I am very thankful that I happened to have that kind of 'soul' if you will.

So, I am here to help others, and it IS what a want in this life. I want to continue to be brought into contact with those (living and physically dead) who need help. I want to be a small part of assuaging grief and bringing light to what seem to be hopeless losses. I do not think about getting a 'reward' at some future time for this (in the afterlife) because I find so much instant gratification through this.

All the other parts of my life....my family....my friends....my other endeavors are 'satellites' that revolve around this central purpose. These things bring support and strength needed, that I might continue in 'my purpose.' :)

I was created by the Creator to create. I'm an artist given the gift of creation in my hands, to serve Him with it and let others know about Him. I like helping others to find answers in life or otherwise, being nice to people even if the kindness isn't returned, enjoy nature (creation) immensely. That's about it in a nutshell.

You neglected 2: LIFE, AND WHY? God made you seeing that He loves you. You have this type of factor referred to as 'reason', that's why you're distinctive, certainly one of a sort. That makes you 'unique', unique to not me, who cares approximately me, however unique to the one that created you--God. So, having coming to this end it might do you such a lot well, to seek His will on your lifestyles, and are living it to the first-rate of your potential. Good success.

IDKY, but I just wanna keep maintaining.....keep working my low income job that I love m-f (and my 2 side jobs on the wknds), paying my bills, paying for and cleaning this safe, secure, and somewhat comfortable HOME I have built outa this crappy apt, and raising my daughter the best way I know how w/what I have to work with.
