If you're missing a sense of purpose, figure out what you enjoy most in life, and share it. Make more of THAT happen, and you'll discover a sense of fulfillment. Whether it's baking a pie for a friend, or putting smiles on the faces of children, there's great significance in sharing the things you love. Your job doesn't define you. I write music because I love it, and want to share that love with the world. I know, lawyers, accountants, and a couple of History teachers that write music as well. Sing at work! Teach a child to read! Smile at everyone you meet just because you enjoy smiling. Your brand of love will be your only lasting legacy.
A couple years ago I posted an original song "Don't Break Me" for free streaming on internet radio. The song hasn't made a $1,000,000 or anywhere close, but my mom keeps telling me to look at the comments. I finally did. There were tons from all over the world, but these truly touched me:

Heh, I just thought that last one was funny. I had no idea... but I get it. The smallest act, the simplest song, a kind gesture or show of good faith can affect people in unimaginable ways. If you're confused about your purpose, figure out what you enjoy most in life, and share it. Your brand of love will be a lasting legacy ;-)
