Ever seen "Monty Python and the Meaning of Life?" At the end they sum things up with little things:
Read a good book now and then
Walk when you can
Get lots of rest
Stuff like that. Good movie, watch it. To me, the "Meaning of Life" is live it. Don't wait for something big to happen to get you discovered, make a movie or CD of your own and post it all over the 'net. Don't wait for that someone special to realize how great you are, show them. Don't pass on the triple chocolate cake, eat two pieces and go out for a walk the next morning. LIVE before you die.

The meaning of life is to find it. Jesus said on a number of occasions, "He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it." Also He said in Matthew 16:26 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" What does it matter what you get out of life if your eternity is in hell. People will spend years getting an education so that they can live on this earth for a few decades but won't put any effort into preparing for the next life at all.

I do not know the meaning of life. I will not pretend to know. I would like to believe that the meaning of life is learning how to ask questions. After all, only when we can say the question properly will we ever get the answer we so desperately long for. I seek the answer to the same question.

There is no meaning to life. You're just supposed to live it, not worry about some meaningless meaning. Don't take life (or yourself) so seriously. Have fun. Live with your conscience and life will take care of itself.

The meaning of life is to know your creator and worship him as God and he will send his spirit into you and Bless the work of your hands! And to work for him in his under ground spiritual army of prayer warriors and there will be test at the end and the test is on his WORD, how well did you know his word while you were here, and if you die without knowing him, which is the reason for this pilgrimage, then you could have some eternal trouble! Seek Jesus!

The meaning of life is different for each person on this earth. And it can only have meaning by the things that we ourselves do in our lives to bring about the individuality of each of us.

Why are we here? People have long wondered about the meaning of life on earth. They have looked at the star-filled sky. They have admired a colorfulsunset and the beauty of the countryside. Thinking persons have reasoned that there must be some grand purpose to all these things. But often they have wondered where they fit in.(Psalm8:3,4)
At some time in life most people ask:Are we just to live a short time, get what we can out of life, and then die? Where are we really going? Is there more that we can expect than the brief cycle of birth, life and death? What will help us understand this matter is the answer to the question How did we get here? EVOLUTION OR CREATION?
In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over many millions of years, it is said life evolved, or developed from lower forms until finaly humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as fact. But is it true that we came from an apelike beast that lived millions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. They were created. The movements of the stars and the planetsare so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined even years in advance with perfect accuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe according to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the University of Cambridge, PDirac, said, in the magazine Scientific American: "One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to say to God: "I shal laud you because in a fearinspiring way I am wonderfully made...My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret....Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and all its parts were down in writing." (Psalm139:14-16) Ababy developsinside its mother in a wonderful way. Newsweek magazine said this : "It is quite simply a miracle." Then it added: "No technique can pinpoint the momentous time of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad of nerve network of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe,, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us that these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Designer, a Creator. Consider other things that we see around us. When you are in your house ask yourself: Did my desk, lamp,bed, chair,table, walls, or even the house itself, evolve? ''or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then, can it be claimed that our much more complex universe and we ourselves did not require a maker? And if God put us here he surely had a reason for doing so.
It was not God's purpose for Adam and Eve to die after a while and live somewhere else. They were to stay here and take care of the earth and all its living things. As the Bible says 'God blessed them and said to them: be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.' (Genesis1:28;2:15) Adam and Eve, as well as all the children they would have, could have been happy on earth forever doing the thingsthat God wanted them to do.
Notice that "God blessed them." He really cared about his earthly children. So as a loving Father he gave them instructions that were for their good. They would have found happiness in obeying those instructions. Jesus knew this and so later said:"Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!"(Luke11:28) Jesus kept Gods word. "I always do the things pleasing to him,"he said(John8:29) This is the key to the very reason we are here. It is to have full, happy lives by living in harmony withGod's will. It will give real meaning to our lives now, to serve Jehovah. And by doing so we will be putting ourselves in line to live forever in Paradise earth.(Psalm37:11,29)

We all must find our own meaning in life...would you trust anybody who gave a simple answer to your question?...the meaning of life is probably unique to each one of us.
