Ditto. I find that the more I think about it, the more this is true. And that our highest calling is the acceptance of our reality. Of course, there's a big difference between acceptance and surrender. When one accepts, they begin to adapt to their reality. We all know what surrender does. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that our purpose isn't to worry too much about what our purpose is.
