How do I know the purpose of my life?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Just make of list of all the things which do not fit your purpose. Life’s purpose is not just eating and watching television. It is not fighting with other people. It is not depositing money in your bank till you die. We work our whole lives to earn money. We deposit it in bank and even before making a will, we die. Later on, children who lived happily together, start to fight over this money. This is what happens in this world.

What are the things which are not the purpose of your life? Just make a list. Then you will understand what the real purpose is.
