Is There A Purpose In Life To Be Content About

By Eula Clarke


At some point one may question their existence. By asking the question, is there a purpose in life, you may find that it is something to ponder. Some people just live their lives without dwelling on this too much, but others are always thinking about this. Some say that you shouldn't think too much because it can lead to emotional stress.

Some people have a definite sense of purpose in their lives and don't even ask questions like this. It could be that they are very spiritual and this doesn't come into their mind. Some people are just content and have had a happy life. For them, there is no need to think about the meaning of their life.

Many people turn to religion and their faith will answer their reason for their existence on earth. This is why they have a definite purpose in life. In the Islamic faith, they will serve God and submit to him continuously. These thoughts are not supposed to enter their minds. God is meant to be the creator and heaven is the place that one will enter after death.

The person who is negative about this, does not have something to work towards. They always find that things do not work out for them. There is no sense of direction for them and most of the time this is because there are no goals in life and they have nothing to look forward to.

A lot of people have moved away from their faith and have turned to evolution as an alternative. There is a lot of proof of Darwin's theory and this is not a purpose of life for them. Man has just been put on earth because of this particular theory and people who believe in this will just accept it.

One can always look to evolution and base this on that particular theory. That will tell you why we are here. There is no spiritual reason according to Darwin. With this in mind, one is just put on the earth because they have been developed in a certain way and there is no real meaning.

One could also just come up with their own feelings and theories which are meaningful to them. There is usually something that is significant to everyone and that is the thing to hold onto. However, some people come to the end of their lives and find that there is nothing that stands out and wonder why they have been put into this world.

Learning to be happy and content about issues in life is not easy. It is a process that one goes through and doesn't come overnight. One should work with a therapist and find what the underlying problem is. Working through stages in order to get to the ultimate goal is going to help the client in the long run. One has to patient with this, but with baby steps the progress and results will start to follow.
