This is what it is....
Every one will die...
We will leave behind what important thing when we die. Lets go over what we may leave behind.
A CAR...no that's not meaning to life!
A House...NOPE
Memories of yourself...five hundred years from now no one will care. This moment is happening now, not five hundred years from now.
I think most people don't even know what there great grandmothers name was...so how is this the meaning to life!
Its not!
This is...what is the one thing we leave behind when we die that will change the world?
Children!
NO children no human race.
If we stop having children the human race will stop.
If i have child, and that child has a child i have fulfilled my duty or my reason for life.
Reason is different then purpose,
my purpose in living can be anything my reason is to make the world spin!
Why are we having these children..its called procreation!
At a point in time we will reach what i call absolute perfection not perfect but as close as you can get to it...this is my purpose for living to show the world, we progress in mind not body!
I will never have wings to fly, but i will always look to the sky and wonder how i can obtain flight!

Life has only the meaning you give it yourself. You can choose your own goals and values, your own ends and means. Basically, there are three sorts of alternative, and each has both positive and negative 'roads' to take.
One, you can live life selfishly. This, from a moral point of view, is negative - looking out at all times for 'number one'. But it need not be negative - not if you have a special ability or high degree of ability (say, in art) and you concentrate on developing that ability in a way that is 'selfish' in the short term but is likely to make a contribution to human good in the long term.
Two, you can invest yourself in others. This can range from simply concentrating on being a good parent, to being a dedicated contributor to some community or some organization, whether it be a religion, a political party, a commercial company, etc. But the negative side of this is that you might, in the latter part of your life, find that the group you have dedicated yourself to has not appreciated your contribution, or has changed negatively from what it was despite your efforts, and you might, when it is too late, regret not indulging yourself a little more than you did.
Thirdly, you can turn away from both self and others and, negatively, abandon any attempt to be a moral person, letting yourself be ruled by your emotions or appetites, to the cost of both yourself and those around you. Or, positively, become one of those intensely 'practical' people who 'get things done' in the purely physical sense (but are good for little else).
Of course, it is possible to combine elements of each of the three basic alternatives - though it probably isn't advisible, for sanity's sake, to combine both negative and positive roads.
Life is about choices. Your life is about your choices.

To glorify Jesus Christ! To show his love by serving the needy, to making changes in this world and standing up for what is right. All this and to enjoy life!
God made you purposefully and wonderfully.
Without God, then life is meaningless, we are just some animals that evolved from an accident. How does that give your life meaning.. there then is no meaning... and rules and morals seem pointless if there is nothing to live for after this life.
I am so happy that I know and can live with the satisfaction that i am loved, and God put me here for a reason.

The meaning of life is to be as good of a person you can be, provide and care for your family, and when you are old and wrinkled to be able to sit back and say..."You know what? It's been a good life. Sure things have been up and down, but I did the best I could and I can go peacefully knowing this."
At least, this is what my meaning of life is.

The meaning of life is for you to be a part of society. Your life meaning is to replace those that were before you. Your role in life is to choose how you want to live your life.

Everyone creates their own meaning. What would the point be if everyone had the same meaning?
From a biological standpoint, the meaning of life is to recreate. We exist to make more of us.
Really though, think about what you like and what is important to you, be it music, helping others, achieving happiness. You can have many meanings to your life! All you have to do is think of them. :)

the meaning of life? could mean so many things... for relgious people they live for god.. to carry messages, missions and so on forth.. for the non-relgious and others i gather.. the meaning of life is basically completing goals, making a difference.. but its different to everyone.. some people don't know why they are here and may never.
