I would have thought that it is people who have purposes, and that they can give some purpose to their life. But what purpose they a person gives is up to the particular person. There is no reason (that I can see) to think that there is some particular purpose that everyone should give to his life. Or even, indeed that there must be just one purpose, or, indeed that there must be any purpose at all (although I would suppose that it would be a good thing for a person have some purpose).

A "purpose" we assign ourselves does not sound much like a purpose. Seems closer to a goal, but whatever we decide to call it, I think you're right on.
