To be aware and appreciate what life has to offer, be engaged in life. Life is good and precious. Take time to reflect and absorb life - We only have one chance at life - make it work for the good of soul. Life is meaningful, the trick is to find path and travel along it enjoying the journey, it may be hard or easy - that is fate, but doing the living is the meaning of life.
Also the meaning of life is to care for and to be cared about by others. We are all here to do the best on this world that we can and should try to help others and make people happy. Being Negative or regreting things is a waste of time. We should learn from our mistakes and move on to better things.

The meaning of life is to survive. To make a mark on the world. This could take different manifestations for everyone. Perhaps love is the most important thing for one person & makes them feel alive, perhaps having children is the way they'll live on. Someone else may not have romantic love but may have a passion for art & will create paintings that will live on for hundreds or thousands of years. Or write a novel that will touch millions of readers. Someone else may have a passion for learning & become a teacher that will affect many students' lives. They may love nature and travel the world. Whatever makes you feel most alive & gives meaning to your life is the meaning of life for you. I suppose survival is all about love. You have to have something to live for. You have to love someone or something. The point is to live life to the fullest. To explore the beauty that is in the world.

I think the meaning of life is to be born , grow up and to achieve all u can in your lifetime whether u find your true love or not. Cause if really depends on what u mean by love, look at Sister Theresa, and many others who found that by helping others was their purpose in life so they had found the meaning of life for themselves

When I think of all the different life forms on this planet I can't help but wonder if we are being terribly arrogant thinking there is a meaning and purpose to our being here.
Now it seems that would definitely be true for those that believe in evolution.
However, since I believe in God, there is a meaning and purpose to this life. After all who creates something with no purpose in mind.
Meaning of life is different for different people.
For myself, I change the question arrangement to;
What is life without meaning?
What is lfie without purpose?
What is l;ife without fulfillment?
Existence!

No one can "make" anyone else happy. You are here to fulfil YOUR life. You create it and everything that you see. If you wish to create someone via whom you can fulfil your wish of serving with intent to make happy then that is what you will do. But it is not making someone else happy that is the goal here...it is making yourself happy by loving another person. Givers and takers. If you feel like you want to make someone happy then you are a giver and you will create a reality which enables you to give.

The purpose is life is to make it feel like your life had purpose. Whatever that entails is the choice of the beholder.

Because of the relation between the discipline of pure reason and our sense perceptions, to avoid all misapprehension, it is necessary to explain that, in the full sense of these terms, the things in themselves, that is to say, should only be used as a canon for our concepts.

To me the meaning of life is being part of the story.
