Purpose of my Life

There were times when I used to wonder about my existance on this earth. What am I doing here? What is the purpose of my life? Was I just born to struggle amidst the pain, sorrow and the likes? Was I born to just enjoy and do the same thing that everyone does and go away? What have I done to justify existence in this world? Has my existance been of any use to anyone, atleast to a worm?And most the time, I dont get a proper answer for these questions and then I have to conclude myself that I have lived a life not-worth-telling and I feel I have wasted years.
As time went by, I had a strange realization. Why not create a purpose of my own (till the real purpose is known) and live up and work for that? And I did that.I found a sense of satisfaction in me. So creating a purpose and working for that became a purpose of my life (till I find the real one!).

While working on some purpose ,if I have not given myself to the fullest to my work(however small!),then inspite of all the appreciations and good name I get for that work, there is a sense of dissatisfaction in me.On the other hand, if I have given myself to the fullest to my work(however small!), then in spite of no-appreciation, worst case I get criticisms for that work there is a sense of satisfaction that I have been true to myself and in my work.
That I believe is the one of the purpose of my life(till I find something worth!!) - ie to be true to oneself!

Moral I learnt - Living for a purpose(if not found, then create it!!) and being true to oneself.
