@Captain24 I guess I'm saying that we're pressured to find our 'true calling' in life and that there's also a social expectation that our purpose needs to be grand, important, or make lots of money. If that's what 'purpose' is, then no, we don't need to have that. We could have our purpose literally be to pursue a passion in bird watching, or making jewellery out of recyclables, or cooking for our friends and loved ones. I just feel like it's really easy for us to put heaps of pressure on ourselves to have some sort of overarching goal or vocation that we direct all our energy toward (and often also pressured to utilise this purpose to make money) - because society puts pressure on us to do so. 

The main point I think I'm trying to get across is that not having some kind of 'purpose' does NOT make us useless. Nor should we ever be defined by our 'usefulness'. If you wanted to define your purpose as 'Give my dogs a great life whilst I work on my recovery' then that would be completely valid.
