What an empty existence it must be to not have a purpose in being.

Maybe the purpose is to make your own purpose.

Oh... life does have a purpose? Given by whom?

You.

If you think deeply on the nature of reality, you find that there is no other plausible explanation or purpose for all that is than for creation to serve its creator.

If the purpose of the creation is to serve the creator, I shudder to ask about the purpose of the creator. To create? Sounds rather circular.

"Maybe the purpose is to make your own purpose"?! Ok... let's go with that a second. The fundamental premise of your statement still presupposes that there is a purpose. Even if our purpose is to make our own purpose, it still require a conscious endowment of purpose.

I make my own purpose? Where is that anywhere in the realm of reality? Is a vehicle designed with a purpose or does it make up its own? Creations don't make their own purpose. They are created with a reason for their creation in mind.

The purpose of the creator? The creator came into the world Himself and told us His purpose. He is the eternal and living God and we are here to learn to love Him absolutely. He was not created. Before the universe existed, He existed. We presume way too much when we put God in the square hole fit for human understanding.

The first sin recorded in the Bible is the devil's sin. He wanted to be God himself. How dangerous the mindset that seeks the same goal.
