Ask HN: What is your “mission” in work and life?

For me: work, life, family, everything is built on these foundations (albeit imperfectly):

Q. 1. What is the chief end of man? A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8 ESV)

I would also add to this that if there does exist an eternal existence after one's death [1], then it is infinitely rational to spend this comparatively short life finding out what the nature of that eternity is and how best to prepare for it.

[1] Which incidentally, I don't think is possible to conclusively prove nor disprove. Like most things in life, you look at the evidence and make your decision.

If I was created in God's image, then my goal must necessarily be to create life in my image.

I was wondering whether someone would make a statement like this. Nothing satisfies like enjoying our infinite God.
