What is worth living for?

This was the question that popped into my head this week...what is it that we are living for? At least i used to fool myself to think that i'm living for happiness, but there doesn't seem to be the concept of eternal happiness...happiness seems to play hide and seek and at some point, you just lose interest in chasing happiness. There are some fortunate ones who believe they are living to make money or status, but it seems too lowly and too unbecoming of me...then there are those that focus on living for the will of god folks, but that is too stupid...how do i know the word of god? Who knows what he wants you to do and how are you supposed to listen to emptiness? There are those who say you to trust your inner voice, but my inner voice seems to talk a lot non stop and f i dutifully listen to all its yapping, i might as well join an asylum, since it seems to lost its balance. The only chance for someone like me is to emulate someone who has already found the way of life, but most of the time these seemed to be people who found something more outside of themselves, like in a spiritual fashion. I've ranted many times about how difficult it is to find spiritualism at a work place and with this capitalistic, reward performace crap, it becomes increasingly difficult for people to maintain spiritualistic attitude at work place, which is about 1/2 of the active hours an active human being has...Anyways, i'm not typing answers but just contemplating on how difficult it is to stay motivated and focussed in this world which seems chaotic and too much to digest at times...my mind always races to my student days where things were more simpler...the whole purpose of life at that time was to find a job and a love...after having both of those for quite a while now, it suddenly seems tough to focus on what next? leaving everything and running away to himalayas seems too cheesy and more like a bad self help book, whereas being cut throat and going up the corporate ladder with razor sharp focus sounds too unfamiliar for my monkey brain...what do you think is worth living for? if you have anything interesting, post it.
