What is your purpose in life?

Title: What is your purpose in life?

Lately, I realised that I haven't been talking much. And it is in that silence, that I began to ponder about my existence in life. I wonder, and I wonder, and I wonder.

What is my purpose in life? Do I even have one? Who do I want to be? What is my ambition? What are my responsibilities? Have I carried out my duties as a Muslim faithfully? Have I been a good daughter for my parents? Am I a good role-model for my sister? Have I been a good friend? Am I a responsible student?

Ask me about my ambition and I'll tell you that I don't need the fame. I don't need the popularity. In this life, there is so much that I want to do. There is so much that I want to accomplish. I have so many dreams. But the irony is that, they never seem to come true.

Coincidentally, a friend of mine sent me this video and the first few seconds of the video really gave me the chills, because those were exactly the questions that have been playing in my mind for quite some time now! It'll just take 4 minutes of your time. It really is worth the watch!

And I did not create the Jinn and the mankind, except that they worship me. [Qur'an 51:56-58 ]
