What is the purpose of life? I think that to answer this question, we have to better understand who and what we are. I believe that we are literal sons and daughters of God. For me, my purpose in life is to become as much like him as I can. I know that he's the epitome of awesome. And I want to be just like him. Maybe not in power, etc. But in attributes. I want to be loving, patient, virtuous, wise, intelligent, honest, etc... The more I get to know him, the more I want to become like him. I believe that this is what he wants, for us to come to know him and to become like him. That is my purpose in life. To make my father proud, to "honour" him. I love, admire, respect and am simply awed by him. His friendship is worth more than all that the world has to offer. That's why I seek him and to be like him.
