Thoughts On the Ultimate Purpose of Life

[William]

It seems life is a combination of being fully present, enjoying the NOW, and actively working towards things you desire.

I would really like feedback on this from people who feel they know the purpose of life.

Everyone has different desires but my beliefs are that each person's purpose is to actualize on x desires, and then allow life to be effortless. This is with the knowledge that one is action taker. Not sitting around waiting for things to come. Just knowing that life is meant to be effortless and that it is meant to be lived to the best and highest possible now, but by being an action taker with desires, it can just keep getting better. So coming from a place of contentment and presence, the ultimate purpose must be joy.

That is it for now.

Peace!

I think you're on the right track. Your closing sentence of joy in particular can be another expression of your own happiness (not achieved at the expense of others).

I will also add that you can basically think in the past, present, or future. All three are necessary, all three have right times to be exercised, and some, or many people will have one they pre-dominantly think in (that probably isnt going to change).

The esoteric answer.
Purpose is yours to create.


To Echo Buddha;
"Life has no Meaning,
Meaning describes Life"


Which is also found in Thelema,
"Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the law"
"Love is the Law, Love under will"

It's your life,
The only one you'll ever have.
Find out what you want it to contain.
What you want to be,
What you want to be remembered as,
What is your Legacy,
What is your Will.

And execute.
Gain momentum, and don't stop.
