The Purpose of Your Life

I read an interesting DailyOM article today about discovering the Purpose of Human Life. This is the excerpt :

"Most living things belong to a particular soul group and are born knowing their purpose in life. An animal will spend its day foraging for food, taking care of itself and its young, and creating a home. No one tells an animal to do this, yet it instinctively knows how. Humans, for the most part, are not born consciously knowing what their purpose is.

Purpose gives our life meaning. When you discover your purpose, you can live your life with intention and make choices that serve your objective for why you are here on the planet. Finding your purpose is not always easy. You must embrace life wholeheartedly, explore many different pathways, and allow yourself to grow.
"

Another major point in the article is to find that balance point in your life between the stuff you have to do for your basic survival needs and the stuff you truly love to do.

I believe this balance between wants and needs is the purpose of human life.

It is likely that the egoic mind helps to block the humans from their basic purpose on Earth as a mere animal. It makes humans believe they are something beyond what they are. So what is that?
