To find a specific answer to the question of your purpose is both difficult and somewhat easy. From my own experiences, the answers came to me in a series of profound dreams that were sprinkled over the course of several years (Don't worry! I doubt it will take you that long; I was just being stubborn 
).
Finding my own specific purpose involved a lot of contemplation and dream work. I personally love dream work so much and find it to be extremely helpful, but it's your choice to find what you think best suits you.
In my contemplation, I spent much time thinking about my childhood. I thought about what I enjoyed to do both in and out of school. I remember receiving the most praise from my teachers for the stories I would create in writing classes, so I knew that my imagination was one great faculty that I already had along with my appreciation of the art of communication (written, orally and bodily).
Becoming lucid in my dreams helped tremendously, and I don't necessarily mean knowing that I was dreaming but just consciously directing the content of them. I asked questions to figures in my dreams who would help me come to my own conclusions about my purpose.
Once, I had what I think may have been a kundalini awakening towards the end of of a dream. I woke up from the dream and kept my eyes closed. I felt the strongest rush of energy pulsing at the top of my head in the violet ray energy center. At the same time, while keeping my eyes closed, I was watching every single letter of the alphabet dancing, squiggling and falling only to get back up again. It was as if they had come to life and possessed their own consciousness. This along with several other dreams eventually led me to believe that writing and communicating are some of the secondary purposes to my existence here which I joyfully try to take on, while the act of being an instrument of the Creator being primary.
Remember, "Seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; ask and you shall receive." Miight I recommend you take a look at the October 22, 1989 Q'uo meditation about discovering one's own gifts.
