What's The True Meaning of Life???

Why are we here?? Are we here to grow up, get an education and work to survive?? Are we here to promote out religion to save souls? Why are we here?? I think I know why.. Sometimes I feel that I have this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than FAITH, greater than AMBITION, greater than CONFIDENCE, greater than DETERMINATION, greater than VISION. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold within my self. Which allows me to know that i WILL become successful!! Whether it is the "Power of God" or not, I feel this great force, this untapped power within side me. I cant even describe it. Its something like a strong emotion mixed with faith, but a lot stronger. All in all, the goal of my planning and doing is to find the true meaning of life- and I think it's "peace of mind". I think life should exist without insecuritys, anxiety, depression, and irrational fears. But how can I ignore those emotions?? I'mma have to get back to you on that.....

I always looked at it like this: We were originally put here to enjoy eternal paradise but after Adam & Eve messed everything up, God basically knew that 1. earth would one day be filled with evil and deceit, and 2. Somebody would have to promote his faith. Jesus was born of a virgin and was sent to die for everyone's sins. Evil and deceit still lurks about. So basically, we are here to separate the believers from the non-believers. BUT, if thats the case, wouldn't he already know the outcome? If so, wouldn't this whole "life" thing be a big waste of time? I ask myself this everytime one of my prayers go unanswered. Everytime I get letdown...everytime I lose a family member, everytime I fail at something that "I felt was given to me by God", I wonder if He's really listening (or if He's really there). I wonder about this subject each and every time I ask for some sense of direction. I wonder about this every single time I wake up in the morning and see that I'm still at the same fork in the road that I was at last year. Sometimes I just want Him to take me away, if this is how "life" is supposed to be.

i can get down with most of what you said but this lil part stood out to me. peace of mind....hmm thats a good one. but i dont necessarily think thats why we are here (unless you were speaking for yourself cuz i dont have a right to tell you what are here for). but as twisted as it may sound to question this...how would life REALLY be if there was no sadness, no depression, no anxiety? only God truly holds the answer but i personally think that w/o those things, people would take life for granted. its kinda like the theory that you have to hit rock bottom b4 u can reach the top. people appreciate the things they truly do take for granted only after they have experienced those hard times and heartache. hell, it took 9/11 for some people to charish their families the way that they do know because now they realize that anyone of us can go at anytime. i also think that reguardless of why someone feels they are here, life is incomplete without someone to love and something to hope for. i dont know how much sense that made but thats just what i think...
