Only YOU can answer that. You'll find 'IT" from the depths of your heart if you are sincere in your quest.
Seek and you shall find. Listen and you shall hear. Open your eyes and you shall see. Knock and the door shall be opened for you.
Peace be with you!

I could never top this excellent answer that I received for a similar question, so I quote it here verbatim. Of course, I ruled out the answer "42."
"Darn you. You sucked me in with your question, then I get here and I see 42 is already taken. Now we really have to go on a trip and I'm without a towel. Well ok, let me see what I can come up with, shooting from the hip as it were. My best guess is that the meaning of life, the universe and everything is "MORE". The quest for more seems to be at the center of all living creatures. All organizations be they organic or manmade seem to be trying to get "more". The universe itself is expanding, so I am told. As for "everything" anything that should happen to get created instantly becomes part of everything, so even everything seems to crave more. Yes I think I'll stick with the answer "MORE". What? Wait, just a minute, my wife is yelling something from the kitchen...... (long pause).....Hello I'm back again. My wife says the answer is "LESS" She says life is always moving toward death which by it's very nature is less life. The universe is made up of a limited quantity of everything and it is being used up also, so you have less now than in the past, and as for "everything" Well since everything gets used, you must have less of everything now than there was in the beginning. So my wife and I will agree to disagree and say that the answer is:
More or Less, or possibly More and Less. I guess that's pretty much the same as 42 because 4 is more and 2 is less. I'm getting a pain just behind my left eye from all of this thinking. What!? Just a minute, my wife is yelling again!........ I'm back. She said I'd better get off this Yahoo Answers thing and come to the table if I want any dinner. I told her that I'll never have to come back to Yahoo Answers again because I just pretty much summed up life, the universe and everything. I'd better hurry if I want more to eat and less yelling. So long and thanks for all the fishes."
Happy Answering,

Great question! Below site will have more on this soon. But now it has info on a new religion that is all about that. So keep in mind what you do NOT know. Now look at what you do know.
Even without knowing the above you are sure that you like to feel happy, satisfied, relaxed, content and peaceful. Do you have any doubt about this? Are you sure that you do not want to feel depressed, unhappy, afraid, stressed out, miserable and unloved? So is it possible that you are here so you can experience pefect peace, endless love and unlimited happiness?
Now what is the reason that you want to feel those things? Maybe because that is your true nature deep down. See below site to learn more about yourself and a little info on latest psychology research on this subject.

Life alone doesn't mean anything, but we need to do something to give meaning to our life. for the time being i'll tell u what God does, u can decide what role he play in our life?
People may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.
When you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away

Only God really knows that I think, but you can ask him and find out what his purpose for your life is...

God created us to worship, serve and praise Him. We also are to be leading others to a personal relationship to Christ.

The answer is in your heart. Everyone has their one answer. Mine reason is to become enlightened and one with the Universe and it's positive energy.
