Do you know your own life purpose? In this modern age,
that is not such a simple question.

The life purpose, how to calculate is based on numerology:

This number is based on your birth date. Here's how you make the simple calculation. Write down your date of birth as numbers only, for example, October 15, 1972, you would
write 10 15 1972, now add up all of these numbers like this (use a calculator if you need to):1 + 0 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 2 = 26. Now, if this number is greater than 9, add the single digits of this number together, which would be 2 + 6 = 8 (in this example). In this example 8 is your life purpose.
