what is YOUR telos?

So, in philosophy, we've been discussing Aristotle's virtue ethics. He thought that everyone has a supreme good, or eudaimonia, that they're working for, something that they want for its own sake. This is the goal of our lives, what we work towards. Telos is the purpose of our lives, what we're doing with our lives to achieve eudaimonia.

Does your life have purpose? Do you have a telos? Do you know what eudaimonia is for you?

Yes, this is a short post, but this was something I've been pondering since philosophy class.
