Instrument_rated living

What is God's purpose for my life? I want to seek this answer for 2012 before I start anything. I want to be sensitive to His direction and calling so that I don't waste my time living in comfort or convenience in this life. The Bible is something that is not as easy to read for me and there are key instructions that I believe will unlock my desire for what God's purpose is for me. I don't want to live by just instincts and fear but by the Holy Spirit's guidance.
