Topic: What to do when life purpose is lost? (Read 678 times)

if your goal of life is lost you have to fix it from something small and the most simple around you this way your mind and life will not be empty and you will focus on something. If you are focused on something then sooner or later you will have a new life goal. if you already have a new life goal then you have to introspection yourself so that the same error will not happen again.

Maybe travel where people do not have the same opportunities to appreciate what it is available, or just helping these people could be the new purpose of life.

We do have different purpose in life and if that purpose is lost and people can't find their real purpose in life, it is not bad to take a rest. I do agree on this, rest for a while, it is not that life makes you want to hurry up in doing your purpose in life. All you have to do is take a break and after you feel better, make sure to find that purpose of yours and make sure that this time, you'll do better/be better person you are or you should be. 

look for a new goal, because life must have a goal .. imagine if you take a taxi and do not know where to stop, how it will be ??

Life purpose is having personal gratification from reaching ones goals. If it happen that you lose your life purpose, start by assessing your own happiness. Find the things that could make you happy maybe eventually you can find your purpose back again.

it is very difficult and easy at the same moment - to find a new life purpose.
maybe learn about new fields and ideas, maybe do something new or have some new and exciting experience. I guess something like that may help you to find new life purpose and continue living happily

you have to make something different. and re-pioneered from the beginning to rise again to gain a different purpose in life.

It depends what kind of purpose you tried to achieve.
Internal purpose, or family purpose, is usually more solid than external, material etc.
Think deeply and try to reflect about your life.
Where did you make mistake?
Who can help you to start over?
How to find true purpose in life?

Nice points you have told brother thar would help a lot.

Go back to your old life and follow the steps from the beginning to where you are at the present. Collecting the old memories can help you to regain your purpose. Look the pictures if you have. Try to remember your very reason why you started some thing. If you start something then you should remember to finish it. Revive yourself again by time machine of your stories and the reasons of why you there in that particular place or position. Sometimes you need to go out in the box to see the wholesome of everything.

Life's purpose or specifically you purpose is never lost evem if you think it is so. Our purpose in this life even at the end of it can be realized years after our death. Our actions have a ripple in itself beyond what we know and may even be beyond our lifetime. Don't ever think that your purpose in life is lost. Merely you may have a bump on the road or a detour going to your purpose. These setbacks are designed for us to be better at what we should do in our life.

There will be some point in our lives that we might lose the motivation that we must all have and there will be moments that we might lose our path in looking for our purpose. I think the best thing to do during this kind of situation is just to seek for God's guidance and let Him be the one to guide us to the right path for He knows what's best for us. Pray without ceasing.

You just have to start all over again and trust in God

Seek God

When you lose your purpose in life you should still continue to live,
Heal yourself,move on and by doing it I think you would soon find some purpose to live.

when you feel the whole world is against you.
when you feel you are lost and nothing seems to be working well for you.
when you feel you you are all done, then

Turn to God without whom you are nothing. He can bring you up from the depth to the shining high.

Then think of another purpose of your life, because you cant nothing to do if it lost, just find another purpose of life so that you can enjoy your life. Dont think too much so that it cant stress you, because the more you think of it the more you lost your purpose of life.

When your life purpose is lost you can find a new one. This is only question of choice. Human is not limited by only one life goal. You only need to reconsider your life and choose the next one purpose.

I dont think anyone's purpose in life will lost. it's just that you do not know your real purpose in life and on earth. You are created by God for a purpose. Use your life to inspire other,  be a blessing to other people and be a source of strength to those who are weak. Use your life to glorify God. Ask God what else you can do with your life.

the first thing that I would do is to have some rest, it will help you to free the mind, recover your life powers and a new life purpose will come to you

A life's purpose is never lost. Purpose much like any other is a goal. To reach that goal you will experience set backs. As we view these set backs we should really remember that these are just set backs not failures. These set backs helps us to learn and be better. Ones we become better we become better suited for our purpose and then we become that purpose. Keep in mind that that purpose may or may not come in fruition in our lifetime. Our purpose may or may not be for the betterment of humanity.

Sometimes despite of lossing your opportunity it would be happen as good result to learn from them mistake, so that it also contained from great result and purposed,but depend upon to that person by fix it handle of rejection by lost also  her life purposed, therefore if i should  happen to me , i think always positive than to another mistake in my life ,,because it also lead to me by strong person and motivation to survive in my life  despite of lost some opportunity  cause i know the great value behind of them

Pray to God and ask Him for divine direction. Remember also not to give up on yourself

Always have hope to live in this world! When our hope was gone, there is a possibility that we may surrender our life.

just meditate and focus on what next. forget what you lost and concentrate on what you can create

My purpose of life is to have best ravaging revenge from all the individuals who had tried to harm me

When you've lost your one true purpose, your inspiration, it is so hard to keep yourself on track again. It's like everything has gone broken into pieces. But of course, life never ends there. You have to keep moving and fight. Life is a challenge. Just pray to God and he will give you the answer.

I think you should just move on and find something that would be your next purpose look for other things.
Take a break and rest then find some motivation to continue your life.

Find new one !
Or better once and for all choose constant purpose that can not be lost 

as human we have different weakness and strengthen to face the crisis and success  the surest way to hurt yourself is to give up from your loss opportunity because it didn’t work out for the first time you loss,,the win win success its hardy to fined if your not  be able to strong what ever takes.. 
 

let go and move on

living without an aim is certainly there will be no passion at all. because everyone certainly wants or has a purpose in her life so she could find out what the meaning of life.

 Every person has different battle in life ,,losing and hopeless well also experience to encourage the new ladder step in life  because its part of the game,,i'd i say no pain no game,, therefore life has colorful from different situation,,take your deepest faith in god,and strong motivation that
 can drives you softly from every trials experience found of its situation to gain more lesson by molding you as person,

The life we live is really unpredictable and uncertain with time. I don't really know how you define your lost life. But in case it does happens, in my opinion, a reflective practice is the best to start all over again. in that case, you can identify the loop holes in your life and fill them all,

When life purpose is lost don't put ur self in worry just have faith and have it in mind that u can't still survive make another stet

When you find out that lost your life's purpose don't be mad. It is not the end of this world. Maybe something will happen better than what you imagine. And if that case happen, make some self realization, summarize your actions, interpret your life and think what you did from the past. And ask yourself, what was I did, why I ended like this. Somehow, there is a mistakes, but you could still try to make things better. If the first attempt doesn't work, then do it again, and again until you succeed and reach your goal in life. Winner sometimes become a loser. And loser, sometimes become a winner. Its up to us how do we manage our life and make it best among others with our desire to continue our journey and fulfill our purpose and enjoy our life in this world.

If it is lost, it could probobly be because the person experienced disappointments, failures, loss and betrayals. The person has to recover first. The person has to be saved and lifted up from the situation. He needs to see his selfworth again, who he is and his worth as a person and start to feel life again. He needs to be loved and valued again to be able to see his worth and value and then he will begin to see his purpose and start all over again with life.

Find a new purpose. Have faith in yourself first and in God. Try reading inspirational books, it might help. Talk with someone. Be it with family or friends.

I think our life is journey. If someone loses his or her purpose in life , he or she must immediately change the train. People should not be living in the past. They shoul find other purposes in life to maintain their life properly.

Help someone to reache their goals. Or maybe you can push them to be motivated.

I can't tell you what to do when the meaning of life is lost. I can tell you what not to do, not to drink and use drugs. this is very harmful and will not lead to anything good

If you lost your purpose in life it doesn't mean that you will die or you are not important.  Just think that you will live in this world because you have a purpose just believe in GOD. 

Maybe you should do what makes you feel good and purpose will follow

Before i answer this is the reason why people feel lost in life.  Some people thinks that They have lost the connection with their own heart and Soul. They pay too much attention to their rational minds, and to what everyone else has to say, and now they can no longer hear the voices of their hearts, nor can they connect to the wisdom of their souls. 

This is some reason why people life's get lost. try to talk with GOD make a strong bond with him cause he is the 1st person that we can lay interms of when we are down in problems. Give More time to bible study to find what is wrong and how you can make a solution to your problem.

When we lost our purpose in life.. it's time to go back to where it all started, where it came from,  you have to set aside your self for a while and look to God, search your heart or your soul why these things happen, what motivated you to do things, why lost the passion, maybe a recreation will help you find it, coz if your your mind is occupied with many things and your heart is heavy all the more you find it hard to get what you're looking for,

Often time when someone loses that feeling of having a purpose in life, it affects their health and they sometimes get cancer. The mind affects the body.

The purpose of life was never been lost and will never be lost. It is just a thought of a person in his wrong dicession or in every time he/she committed mistake. The purpose is already there in every person, you just need to realize about it everytime you lost your self.

Build up your lost life purpose by sett a new one and not remembering what has happened. Indeed the theory is not as easy as the reality. But if we let what has happened to us, It will not restore something that has been lost

Try to calm down for a few days and find a new purpose.

If I was in this situation first of all I would shake my life, try to have new experience for example with the help of travel. It is important to see colors of life and feel it. Then I would try to remember my dreams and live for myself trying to bring them into reality

When life purpose is lost stop blaming other people for your failure, avert self pity. Gather yourself and move on, believe md you will win the battle

More impressive goals: (I have considered your budget)
Having 0.9BTC to buy a small apartment out of the city (for real), I could make it work even with 0.05BTC for now (jumping on Beyonce and dancing with the king and royalties of a country in order to fool them into buying $5 Billion of my nuclear bombs, could wait).
(what now? you didn't know what you were doing when you sent 30 merits to me and want them back?)

Should I be grateful for the merits and expect nothing of a real value from you? when you give something to a beggar, he would ask for more, when we're given so many things in life, we would ask for more.

You can't rank up without merits.

You can't rank up without merits.

You can't rank up without merits.

You can't rank up without merits.

Only you decide what your purpose is.  If you choose to denigrate yourself due to an action or a choice you made that makes you feel you are worth nothing, then you need to eek mental help.  Its a mental health issue.  Why cant we go back to the jack of all trades mentality where we can be good at a lot of thing, and if something doesnt work out, we move on to the next

What I am trying to say is quite looking at the glass is half full, and take charge of your life.  When something fails, learn from your mistake and move on

Acceptance will help a lot, learn to accept your loss. Give yourself time to relax, unwind. Life is not life without failures or losses. Be optimistic, it will give you reason to smile and to appreciate little things. Do not dwell in your past, move forward. Lastly, seek GOD's help, without God's word you'll be completely lost.

Pray for God to be empowered to rise up and ask new directions for a new journey.
The more our life goals are aligned with the goal of spiritual development, the more we live the rich and the less pain we experience from life.
Given that we all want happiness, the fact that our rebirth and future lives will not give us the highest and eternal happiness we want. Only spiritual evolution and union with God will give us eternal and eternal life.

When life purpose is lost, do not let yourself to hurt you, Do something great, reflect, ask for divine guidance, Faced your problems with full courage.. I know God gives you challenges to make your life stronger,

Believe or not, this scenario will happen to everyone. Even if you have anything in the world, there will be a time that you will feel that your life doesn't have a purpose. I think we call that self pity. There are a lot of things that I want to do but I only have limited resources to do that. This is where I am lost before. The first thing that I have done is to prioritize what's causing the problem and it is important not to thing too much. Just keep going. Knowing what you really want matters. Think about yourself in this situation and worry about the others later.

If your loose in life just pray to god nothing is impossible with him just keep and faith that tomorrow  is another day with gods help and glory

If you lose the purpose in life you just have to find it again. It's really that simple!
Your girlfriend was everything to you, and now she's gone. You need to find a new one and everything will go back to the way it was. People aren't that complicated. We have our basic physical needs and we have our mental needs like the need to achieve something, be someone, be with someone, have a family.
Then there are substitutes. You can't find a woman, buy yourself a dog to cuddle with.

Whenever anything bad happens and make you think you've lost the purpose of life, just grieve it off first. Denial is a very dangerous way of dealing with a loss. You gotta grieve the loss outta your chest/head, and then you restructure your goals (amend your actions), but for the same targets you so desire. You then move on

Hey, I know this will sound a bit odd to say... But when you don't feel you have a purpose in life, maybe your new purpose is to find a purpose

I kinda talk from experience in there...

Find a new inspiration in life. Maybe it's a place, a thing or a person that can change you're beliefs and regain your life purpose. Everyone of us encounter different types of challenges or obstacles in our lives, some were easy to overcome but some tends to break us down. Without an inspiration how can we regain our purpose when we were so down? Right? Inspiration will help us to strive for more, dream for more and believe that we can have a purpose for our selves and even for others especially for our love ones. Inspiration is the best motivation in life.

Do our life purpose get lost?  Maybe not.  We just realized that it is not anymore our priority.  We have decided or realized that it is not really what we want.  Just have a constant communication with our God.  Then what is really our purpose will be answered.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not(leaning towards not ), but those goals seem pretty unimpressive.

Edit: At least your begging worked I guess.

Hm, that happens when someone gets disappointed with something, or whatever was planned did not go well and maybe failed. I do the following in such situations:

-think about what I can do and what I can learn.
-try to learn new things, explore new fields of interest and understand whether I suit there, or not.
-if I realize that I do, I start making a plan for me on how to achieve new goals. For example,

few months ago a friend of mine decided to give up on his profession (as a marketing manager) because he was not earning much and his salary was only enough for him to cover his renting fees and buy food. He was obviously not enjoying life, because he could not go out with friends, spend money in bars and cafes, travel or buy some fun staff. I offered him taking simple web development courses, because I had heard, that learning front end would not be too hard in case you have time and efforts to invest in. As long as it is a well paid job, I suggested him doing that. He took basic courses and realized, that he liked them and wanted to continue.

Now, he has a junior position (after studying hard for six-seven months) with the same salary as he was getting before, BUT he has a huge future ahead, and after a year he will definitely double his income.

This strategy works in other fields as well, and the hardest part is to get started. After you do, you realize that you are on the right track and everything will be fine in the future! JUST RISK THE FIRST STEP! 

We have to re-think and struggle another stage of our journey of life just to regain our purpose and i do believe that theres no harm for trying any luck for another chance.

REST is the best thing to do. Rest for a while and you can think better than yesterday. Sometimes hard times affect us because we are always in multitudes of people, more more responsibilities to finish. Almost everyday we do like this forgetting the fact that our body needs rest also.

Have a matrimonial intercourse, you'll regain your purposes of life a.k.a the reason I have set a goal for myself a.k.a beg for enough Bitcoin to buy a room and not a cottage to have the experience of jumping.
Any merit source around? can I beg for a few merits? recently somebody questioned my earned merits ever since the merit was introduced, I have no excuse for not getting enough merits, so if you could donate some merits for that I am a beggar and have no place to go and earn money to reach my goals in life, this is how begging looks like, see I'm begging for it, a man has got to eat right? remember that when you are trying to ignore me. lol lol lol (note, it seems that when I lol, I could get merits easier than posting with no lol in it, so have a few more lol lol lol).
(what now? you're not going to make me a merit source because I'm a shit poster? don't expect more from a lowlife beggar)
My life had a purpose when I was running a full node on my laptop, I thought that I could earn money by setting the fee per transaction high on my full node, after finding out that was not possible, I tried to kill myself, somebody suggested to join signature campaigns to earn more than what I'd expected.

My latest goals for life: becoming a merit source with at least 5 smerits every 30 days to have the ability to rank up a newbie into a member after a year and leave something behind for my children, they could rank a member up to a senior member and their children could rank that same senior beggar account up to a hero member, if I haven't helped terrorists to end the world with nuclear bombs already before I die.

Our life is a journey, is it, there will be many many stages in this journey.

A metaphor, a person's life is like driving a train, exercise in the boundless huge crowd, when you are active, you are a driver, controls the direction completely, (there is a clear goal, clear planning)

When you're looking, you're the waiter.

When you wander, you are the passenger. (random drifting, growing up, getting off at the station to enjoy the scenery, driving along with the car)

When you get lost, you mistakenly think that the train is already standing, (you jump, you die suddenly)

It's a phase, and most people experience it, but not everyone knows it.

Aside from the following,
1. Broaden your horizon
2. Have a program of life
3. Make a difference
What one can do to regain the life purpose?
