I recently had this discussion in real life and I was fascinated by the answers people have.
I know there are a lot of introverted, deep and thinking women on here so I would love to hear your responses.
What is your ONE LINE response to
This Question;
Why do you think/feel are you here?
(Not on imamother, On Earth  )

To clarify: me personally ( like my tikkun) or me as a human (what is the purpose of life in general)?

My purpose is to make the impact on this generation and on future generations that only I can.
(Can I add another two sentences?)
In some ways, I've been already blessed to see how I've made a difference to many people, but I am sure there are many other ways in which I'll have an impact that I'll never know about. That doesn't make those unknown impacts any less... impactful!

Ok I will follow amother Maroon’s lead and answer for myself personally:
To help bring more peace and love to the world and bridging cultural gaps by understanding others.
Tall order, I know.

Maroon- what type of impact?
Wheat- To serve Hashem has many definitions- can you please say to serve Hashem in which way?
Ravenclaw for the purpose of this thread I want to stick to personal purpose. I love your purpose! Thanks for sharing.

To raise my children to be emotionally healthy , happy, god fearing, kind, considerate people. Sounds small but ain’t easy.
To elaborate, sometimes I get the feeling that I want to “conquer the world” and “make an impact”. But in reality, I’m just so so busy with my own little life; my children, my husband , my job, my home (cooking, cleaning , laundry...)
And then I think to myself, that what I’m
Doing is MY purpose on this world. To be aishes chayil and akeres habayis and raising my children to be better Jews, thereby making the world a better place.

There are many types of impacts. I don't want to share personal details now.

Right now, I am working really hard on trying to figure out the answer to that very question (and the more I learn, the more confused I get). Glad to see that other people seem to have some clarity  .

By doing מצוות and through קידוש השם.
Not really sure how else to explain. Our job on earth is to do what Hashem commands us to do.

I know this isn't an answer to your question, but it's such a great, related line I'll share it here. I heard this - pretty much, not exact - from Rabbi Paysach Krohn: The day you were born was Hashem's statement that the world couldn't go on without you.

To serve Hashem. It's actually a running dad joke in my house. Anytime someone walks into a room and says why I am here (this happens often when adhd runs in the family), my husband always responds with "to do ratzon Hashem".

I think the answer depends on what stage of life you're in, and what else is going on at the time.
Right now, I would say, To be a mother to my children.
When they are all iH grown, I assume the answer will be different.
