I think I just act, though some of my actions have purposes.

I am, period. The only purposes I serve are those of my own choosing, based on the principles in which I believe.

profound statement!
And when you no longer feel purpose it is your time and you should be allowed to peacefully let go
comes full circle
BS, the "purpose of life", at base level, is to procreate and them make fertilizer for the next generation. So, have a drink, put your feet up, enjoy the moment. Period. If it makes you happy to serve at the soup kitchen, or whatever, good for you! If you do it because you think you should or, worse, have to, you are frittering away the only life you will ever have. ( aplogies to any reincarnationists out there)
This "purpose" thing can be overblown, but that depends on your world view. Leaning towards existentialism, or even nihilism, we're just a wound up clock with inherently intelligent genetics that reproduce and evolve. It's our biological imperative to reproduce & thrive.
Towards the more esoteric & mystical/new age side, things like value systems that honour the better good are important, and should be part of everyone's life purpose. I.e. service to others.
In the middle, you have Republicans.
