We may understand the purpose of our existence, but in practice it may be easy for us to become forgetful of our end goal. Allah has mentioned that we have not been created in vain and that we shall be returned to Him, but how do we maintain that level of consciousness so that we do not stray?

Taqwa is the key to maintaining a focus on this end result. Without consciousness of Allah we may often stray and become neglectful of our actions. By being aware of Allah at all times will enable us to achieve our true purpose in this life and be content with our akhirah.
