Our purpose in life is to worship God. Eccl. 12:13: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man." This will bring us the most happiness.
The psalmist David also wrote about the incoming new world and how long it would endure. He foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) That is why Jesus promised: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.
What a grand prospect that is, living forever on a paradise earth free from all wickedness, crime, sickness, sorrow, and pain! In the final book of the Bible, God’s prophetic Word summarizes this grand purpose by declaring: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It adds: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:4, 5.
Yes, God has a grand purpose in mind. It will be a new world of righteousness, an eternal paradise, foretold by the One who can and will do what he promises, for his “words are faithful and true.”
Perfect Health, Everlasting Life.
“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24.
“The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 6:23.
“Everyone exercising faith in him [will] . . . have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.
“You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43.
What a marvelous outlook for the future! What real purpose lives can now have when anchored to the solid hope that in God’s new world all of today’s problems will forever be things of the past! “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17) And how comforting to know that life then will be eternal: “God will actually swallow up death forever.”—Isaiah 25:8.
Do you want to live forever in that Paradise new world now so near? ‘What would I need to do to get God’s favor at this world’s end and live on into his new world?’ you may ask. You need to do what Jesus indicated in a prayer to God: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3.
Therefore, obtain a Bible, and confirm what you have read here. Search out others who study and teach these Bible truths. Break free from hypocritical religions that teach and do things contrary to the Bible. Learn how you, along with millions of others who are already doing God’s will, can share in God’s purpose that humans live forever on a paradise earth. And take to heart what God’s inspired Word declares about the near future: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.

It's very simple really.
Find that one thing that you enjoy doing, whether it be writing, singing, working with your hands or what ever it may be.
Realizing that money doesn't buy happiness.
Realizing there is nothing more important in this physical life than family.
Leaving the world, or your small part of it better for your having been here.

You know that's a super question,
The question on your mind is, Why me? All I can say is
Out of love your father and mother pro-created you,
It happen to be you...you are fortunate, Here is an opportunity to give your all to glorify the almighty God.
As you grow older with the experience in your life either in poverty or what ever, try your best to do right, because we inherited sin from our fore father Adam.
So, what a chance to live your life to the full, show everyone you love them know matter who they are treat them with respect, honer you country, and do unto others good, hopefully they will do the same to you, but you be the one to start first. love your neighbor. The meaning of life you ask? Remember life started with the creator...So please him with your life...do his will...be good,

Life is the gift to humans by God. In other words its the soul in the body that is accountable for after death of the body,after it has spent certain period of time on earth . It is the time span given to we humans to serve our ALMIGHTY by obeying HIS commands as long as we are on earth.This is life.

You are here because God is Divine Love and wills you to be His children and love you. God knows that if you follow a few simple rules -the ten commandments - you will be in happiness and freedom.

The thought that first comes to mind here is that we are in this world mainly to endure hardships and difficulties, that we may grow stronger spiritually by doing so.
