Like everything that exists in the world, life is planned, has a destiny and a purpose for existing. So, you should not be asking “why are you here” or “why were you born”. You are here because you have lessons to learn and debts to repay, and because you have a destiny to fulfill. Before you took birth, you decided on your destiny, and the fulfillment of that destiny is what you are trying to achieve in this life. (STQ-1996-p44)
