The meaning of life is whatever you make it. For me, it is loving my family and friends unconditionally and obeying the golden rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I could never top this excellent answer that I received for a similar question (from YahooGuru4u), 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,

I believe that the meaning of life is the personal reason that you were born. Everyone has a purpose and you are where you're supposed to be when you should be.
The experiences you face will at some point turn into an opportunity to share them in order to help another face the same things.
People who attach themselves to you throughout your life, are there for a reason, and when that has been fulfilled, they - or you - move on to another experience.
Then when you die, you will be reincarnated in order to profit from previous lessons and to learn more. Don't ignore the things you call coincidence......think back on your past and compare to right now and of the path you are on at this time in your life.

WARNING: THE ALIENS MIGHT VISIT YOU TO ERASE YOUR MEMORY IF YOU READ THIS.
Well, you don't think the whole universe works the way Earth does, do you? No! One species, one planet! There is a planet of deer, a planet of Asians, and so on! We put them all together on Earth and the whole universe tunes in to watch the fun!
Most of the races of Earth are descended from alien races, in order to create drama from racial tension from their unnatural cohabitation of the planet.
The purpose of our lives as humans is to entertain the life forms on other planets through the reality television show that they know as EARTH.
After 100 episodes the only reason that the show was not cancelled, the planet of earth not demolished, the sun not turned off, and we are still alive is because I blackmailed the Joozians who produce the show with some dirty pictures that Kenny took of them while they were high on blach. Now, look behind you.
This was revealed to me in
South Park, 100th episode, Season 7 - Episode 4 - Cancelled.

the meaning is to be here do what is asked of you and then move to the next life. we all have cosmic debts to clean up then we will no longer need to be in a physical body we will be one with the creator. we live to clean up the mess's we made in our former lives.and the cycle keeps going until the end of time or until the universe ends and every thing starts over.

No one person on this earth can give you that answer. It really depends on who you are and what you want. It seems that many people reach their greatest possible potential when they help others. Helping others, even in a small way, can make your journey through life more pleasant. After all, we are all in this together! Rmember its not what you have that people remember you for - its what you give away.
