Your Mission in life: have you found it?
This arises from another conversation currently running about potential.
But do you know your mission or purpose in life?
If so how did you find it?
Is it easy to fulfil?
What have been a few of the trials and tribulations along the way?
Please share as much as you are able about the purpose of your life? And may anyone joining this conversation be kind to those whose whose purpose or meaning of life is very different from yours.
Let's just enjoy a smorgasbord of differences.
Closing Statement from Kate Blake
Much thanks to those who participated, I hope it provoked some thought?
Some seem to know their purpose from a young age, some find it as they wander down the path of life, for others it seems to evade them. But remember everyone of us causes a ripple effect with everything we do, think and say - so lets try to be aware as we journey through life, be kind and don't cause strife!
Thanks TED once again for this forum.

Its kind of a weird question because we cant really know it until its come right infront of us and i didnt leave that much for seeing it but i guess mine will be writing and playing music and by that like other musicion doing to me i can let my song "swalow" pain of somebody or bring joy to someone else and those feeling that we feel everyday is the most important thing that humans can have in my opinion.. so if my music or lyrics make some one happy or sad or even angry im glad i made them feel like it.
Plus after a show someday that me and my first band did in our first steps,, when i saw the exitment and the fun that all the people who were watching us live i felt like i did something in this world and few days later when we uploaded the video on the net one fan came to me and told me "woow those words described every feeling that i have righ now.. thank you for your help.."

But if you are acutally writing the words also that is a very powerful medium to touch others hearts - I would want to make them happy or laugh ... maybe I'm a closet comedian.
My mission is more like trying to tame the real highs and lows of such emotions, to know them and how my mind works in order that I might be of more benefit to others. Not sure if I've made much progress after 28 years so it's an extra bonus that you get immediate feedback, that must be so gratifying.
