What is your higher purpose in life?

I always felt that my higher purpose in life is to help and guide people. From a young age I have always felt the need to help those around me. Every time I help someone my intuition tells me that this is my job and I will often make that joke to my peers. Sometimes I honestly feel like this is what I was meant to do. The only downfall is that I must also focus on myself and I certainly cannot save everyone. It's too much for one person to bear.
