Find joy in small things, do a good deed for others when possible, but I believe we are here to learn and grow. Day-to-day life is a path to enlightenment. Life can be an adventure. HOW we do this is as unique as every individual on Earth is unique. Find your 'joy' and follow that.

There is only one mystery about the meaning of life and that concerns your personal quantum energies. You may understand these energies as your soul. Everything you do affects your soul; every word, every action, every thought, everything. So the meaning of life is revealed in the care and nurturing of your eternal soul.
The care and nurturing of your soul involves (1) seeking truth, always be learning, we wise and filled with knowledge, (2) practice being loving, being giving, self-sacrifice for the good of others, and (3) relish what is beautiful in the world, surround yourself with beauty, seek out beauty. Whatever fills you with awe is to be relished. Plant a flower. Do not let a day go by without leaving something beautiful.
Practice these simply three rules and your life will experience enlightenment.

Life, are we truly meant to understand the definition or is it meant to never be understood? We all live, We all die, Some are rich, Some are poor, Some have all, & Alot have hardly anything. Why do some suffer? and others don't? As you can see LIFE has many questions, some can be answered and others we have to just ponder.

Life is a road that we travel down with twists and turns, bumps, and potholes, but towards the end it smoothes out to a comfortable ride. It is all one big experience that you can either learn from or go through numb and not learn anything.

Honestly i have tried figuring out that question all my life but 1 thing i do feel is that we are here on a pit stop.
Born to carry on space til we die and go where ever we go next. Life is a pitstop.

"What is the meaning of life?" is a question many people ask themselves at some point during their lives. Some people believe that the meaning of life is one or more of the following:
Survival and temporal success
* ...to accumulate wealth and increase social status
* ...to compete or co-operate with others
* ...to destroy others who harm you, or to practice nonviolence and nonresistance
* ...to die having succeeded in your purpose
* ...to live
* ...to protect one's family
* ...to gain and exercise power
* ...to leave a legacy, such as a work of art or a book
* ...to produce offspring through sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction
* ...to seek freedom, either physically, mentally or financially
* ...to seek happiness and flourish, experience pleasure or celebrate
* ...to survive, including the pursuit of immortality through scientific means (see life extension)
Wisdom and knowledge
* ...to be without question, or to keep asking questions
* ...to explore, to expand beyond our frontiers
* ...to learn from one's own and others' mistakes
* ...to seek truth, knowledge, understanding, or wisdom
* ...to try to discover and understand the meaning of life
* ...to expand one's perception of the world
Ethical
* ...to express compassion
* ...to live in peace with each other, and in harmony with our natural environment (see utopia)
* ...to give and receive love
* ...to seek and acquire virtue, to live a virtuous life
* ...to serve others, or do good deeds
* ...to work for justice and democracy
Religious, spiritual and esoteric
* ...to turn fear into joy at a constant rate achieving on literal and metaphorical levels: immortality, enlightenment and atonement
* ...to achieve a supernatural connection within the natural context
* ...to achieve enlightenment and inner peace
* ...to become God, or God-like
* ...to experience existence from an infinite number of perspectives in order to expand the consciousness of all there is (i.e. God)
* ...to follow the "Golden Rule"
* ...to produce useful structure in the universe over and above consumption (see net creativity)
* ...to reach Heaven in the afterlife
* ...to understand and follow the "Word of God"
* ...to worship, serve, or achieve union with God
Other
* ...to advance natural human evolution, or to contribute to the gene pool of the human race
* ...to advance technological evolution, or to actively develop the future human
* ...to contribute to collective meaning ("we" or "us") without having individual meaning ("I" or "me")
* ...to die, or become a martyr
* ...to find a purpose, a "reason" for living that hopefully raises the quality of one's experience of life, or even life in general
* ...to live, and enjoy the passage of time
* ...to have fun
* ...to protect humanity, or more generally the environment
* ...to pursue a dream, vision, or destiny
* ...to relate, connect, or achieve unity with others
* ...to seek and find beauty
* ...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
* ...to participate in the chain events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)
* ...still some do not even think there is any purpose whatsoever (see nihilism)
* ...(This is actually an extension of the point immediately above) There is no inherent meaning to life, existence, the universe, etc. They exist because they can. However, humans appear to inately give meaning, usually many, often conflicting, to what they are conscious of. So, to each individual, the "meaning of life" is whatever they decide it is. In that sense, every point above is potentially valid.
