What Is Your Life's Purpose

What is your life's purpose 
Every person has one 
It's an intentional objective 
The reason for something to exist or be created 
What is your life's purpose 
Reevaluating the inventory of one's life 
Looking in the mirror, self reflecting 
Being introspective about what you want 
What is your life's purpose 
Putting God first and foremost in your life 
Being respectful and not judgemental of your neighbors 
Having high character and integrity 
What is your life's purpose 
Having a heart of empathy and compassion 
Understanding that no day is promised 
To serve your fellow human without expectations 
What is your life's purpose 
To Treat people the way you want to be treated 
Not to save the world, but be engaged 
Get involved with social justice issues 
What is your life's purpose 
Being your brothers keeper
Open your mind to positive wisdom 
Expecting world change without taking action 
What is your life's purpose 
Wanting to alleviate world hunger 
Wanting to resolve homelessness in the country 
Applying self love and self care for a better person 
What is your life's purpose 
Some people never figure out why they are here 
Chaos and confusion blocks sensible reasonableness 
Which clouds one's thoughtfulness to really see their clear purpose
