Talking About One's Purpose in Life, blah blah blah.

I don't get those who draw the whole future with all the small details! I mean, this is just impossible for me. It is too boring, and frustrating! Okay, one should have a general idea about what kind of person do they want to be, what kind of life do they want to lead and stuff like that. But you shouldn't expect a person to know exactly what job will he have in what company doing what exactly with the exact month and year, I mean not knowing that does not mean that you don't have a life purpose!

It's all about the general idea in my opinion. And I believe that actions are the ones which tell if someone does have a purpose in life or not, it's not about writing it and telling it all to the world!
Don't ever make the mistake and judge on a person saying "I don't think that you have a purpose in life." This is very rude; don't you ever commit that mistake. You are no one to judge, you can never know what is in someone's heart and mind.

Again, this is how I see it. Life is simple and does not need to be complicated with charts and endless plans. Plan, for things that need planning, and do that moderately. Do not waste your life planning it, then doing nothing of it. It will only leave you more depressed, and feeling more useless.
Have the general idea of what you will be in the future, of what is most important to you, then enjoy watching/ living life as it unveils itself beautifully.
I have just found this beautiful quote which simplifies how I think life should go:

"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." -Epictetus
 P.S: Do not care about what others tell you, unless it was constructive criticism. No one really knows what goes on in your world except yourself, not even your closest sibling or friend.
