Everything that exists has a purpose, that can manifest in different ways. An architect creates a building in order to provide a habitable place for human beings. A demolisher tears it down if it becomes dangerous to people's safety. A teacher teaches, a student (hopefully) learns. Every action that is carried out has a goal. Such goal can be clear or hidden, but it is always present in its manifestation. Also life can be seen in such perspective. You may perceive it as a plan that starts at birth and ends at death. All life's endeavors are similar to building a house or to tearing it down, to the act of teaching and of learning. But the actual 'purpose' lays beyond these material actions. It's the inner experience that the actions of building and destroying, of teaching and learning create. The same can be believed for human life. All the struggles, successes and failures, all the sorrows and joys cannot be logically accepted as being the final goal of their "having been". Something beyond must exists that gives them a true meaning, an ultimate purpose.
