The purpose of life could be to help all sentient beings

The purpose of life could be to help all sentient beings,

to help them pursue happiness. This might mean practicing generosity, not hurting others , patience and joyous effort. 

Joyous effort is the opposite of laziness and procrastination, and laziness attracts more of the same meaningless energy.

We procrastinate when we think we are too old, too tired, too deluded, too slow, not enough time, not enough money, thinking you're not good enough and thinking you can't help others.

This is a Buddhist notion and is for all beings with consciousness.
