What is the problem of asking "What is the meaning of life?"
Why should we get up in the morning? What should we choose to do? Why should we do it?
"The Meaning of Life" isn't just about knowing that our lives are having an impact; it's also about dispelling the philosophical fog. It's not only knowing exactly why you got up in the morning; it's knowing the rules you used to make the decision, where the rules come from, and why the rules are correct.
In this "compact version", I explain what goals are, what choices are, and the rules for reasoning about morality. It provides you with the tools needed to clean up the fog, in an informal way, and without any justification. If this isn't enough for you, you can read the extended answers, which are more than twice as long. This is where you'd look if you needed to design a philosophically sophisticated mind from scratch. The extended version also answers questions like "What do we mean when we say that a statement is 'true'?" or "What if the Earth was actually created five minutes ago, complete with false memories?" or "Since human intelligence was created by evolution, aren't you just saying all this because you evolved to do so?"
The compact version is really just the introduction, but it does contain the Meaning of Life.

For me the meaning of life is not life in it self but the time we are given with this life. The most important thing I would say is love. Without love there is no meaning to life nobody would do anything for anybody and this world wouldn't be as it is. YOU are the person that gives meaning to your life. You make out of it what ever you want or don't want.

to impact others around you in the best way possible. To say that you have lived a life worthy of living when your dyeing. To change what might have been to the best it could possibly be. That is why we are here.

That means that we should take advantage of things we have here while we can and learn as much as we can and not take advantage of things and people because one day we won't be here and when you get wherever we are going do you want to say I should have.....? Remember all it takes is gust of wind to take it and all of us away....

Depends. Different people have different perspectives. For me, I believe meaningful life should be how to pursue a better life.
