Controversial What is the purpose of your life?

That depends on if it matters to you, I just made this post if anyone wants to talk about it
I think we all have a shared purpose, receiving salvation, from the post death consequence of sin, hell, and going to heaven, and we also all have an individual purpose and we have our part, the Bible talks about the church being like a body where Christ is the head and each member has its own purpose, like a finger is a finger and an arm is an arm

What I meant is, I'm not certain what my purpose is, and I'm not certain what any one else's purpose is. All I know is that we'll be on this earth until we all inevitably die. And suicide, at least for me, will never be an option unless I get a horrible terminal illness that runs rampant in my body and I just have to put myself out of my misery.
So since I don't plan on dying by unnatural means like that, I'm just going to be here for a while. Not sure what I'm meant to do though, because there's never an one size fits all type of solution for this stuff.
But I personally believe we're just here to reproduce and raise our children, and be helpful to others in any way possible.

Unless it's instilled in you, the inward search for purpose is where everyone begins. But if that purpose is given by others, is it truly your own? Some may live their whole lives without ever finding it or may believe there is no purpose. Living aimlessly can offer insights and pleasures, but only satisfaction can be attained, not fulfillment. You need to live a little selfishly to move forward, or you will stifle your potential.
I'm still figuring out my path, but I know I want to live an unbounded life and reach fulfillment by putting my soul into it.

I have been thinking about it a lot recently and looking into antinatalism, most of my life I have been bullied and beat, my achievements have been pretty little so far overall, pretty good in physical exercise, I got to the point where I would do 1000 push ups a day, 3 workouts per day of 6 sets of 60 push ups, intelectually I'm mostly the best at political theory because that's what I looked at of my free choice until now without it being imposed on me by school, but I consider all of this pretty useless, the only good thing is I'm saved by Jesus Christ, and that takes care of all problems after death, but not of all problems now, and since even those achievements, even though little, can be considered impressive by relation to what other people may have done, I consider worthless, I think I may consider worthless whatever else I achieve too when it comes to being good at things, whether I chose to study and get really good at other things too or not, plus I am pretty bitterly broken in how I feel about myself by all those years, regardless of what I do or what happens to me

I like to think that my life is a "test run" where my purpose is to learn about myself and gain a proper understanding of my core nature. And when I finally do, I'll end up in "heaven" after I die, which is a reality that is in sync with me.
It's a bit weird, I know, so let me put it this way...it's like I'm a puzzle piece and the universe is a puzzle, and the life I lead is an attempt to find the part of the puzzle where I'm supposed to fit.
Do you still get attacked by geese in your dreams?

Your life is the purpose of your life.
What you're living through is why you chose to live.
Which does not mean that you're living through all that you expected yourself to live through, but what you're now choosing to live through is your re-adjusted purpose.

Don't quote me on it.
Read it, get it or don't, but don't ask me follow-up Qs.
