Your above statement, per se, is therefore the description of the purpose of your life and the goal you are chasing: to live a life that you are satisfied with.

Note the difficulty in setting such goals as to do things that you enjoy doing. If the world are filled with no more than 100 person, then it is an easier goal. However, in reality, your way of life would in one way or another affects others' desire to pursue their way of life, and vice versa.

More often than none, you might be faced with the decision to temporary forgo your goals (doing what you enjoy doing, for etc) for whatever exogenous reasons there may be.

There is nothing wrong investing some time to ponder the meaning of life.
After all, you only get to think while you are alive.

On the other side of the coin:

There is also nothing wrong avoiding what we dislike and indulge in what we prefer.
After all, ignorance is bliss.


For me, it is simply that we should not do any single purpose indefinitely.
