Love yourself, love your family, love your friends. Enjoy life - it goes around once.
(As opposed to what Jesus commands - hate your mother and father, hate your family, and hate yourself to follow him.)

LIFE IS ALL THAT THE BIBLE SAYS IT IS
Humankind is born into the imperfections of sin and under the death penalty as John 8:44 there has been a cause for the offsprings of Adam to see death. Anything can happen to any one at any time, no matter the age and ages were reduced from near 1000 to less and less to Gen.6:3 at time of Moses and Psm.90:10 at time of David and after is old age at age 70.
God could have ended it at any time, but Noah and family was saved and earth as it was then life sustaining was lost Gen.6:13 and God knew it was to be lost as is the life of humankind and the earth had no life to sustain. It will have to be made new and mankind will have to be given back the life that the new earth will sustain. 2Pet.3:13;
Rev.20:1-6 [ the heavenly have their life as Luke 20:34-36 says and in a cleansed heavens as Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12 there has been no Satan there 150 years and now he is in a pit for Rev.20:12,13 the new earth inhabitants to be cleansed in the 1000 years or the last day of day seven as 1000 years and Jesus [ the only creation, created by God that qualifies to save the world ], will make all new as before. Any lost has self to blame. Rev.21:1-5; verse 8 is the second death, and Rev.20:7-10 is the final cleansing.

To love God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love others as I love myself.
Pretty deep, if you want to think about it.
What if you don't like yourself?
So, I would say:
1. Love God
2. Learn about myself, and learn to love myself
3. Spread that love to others.
Sounds pretty basic, but that is what Jesus said.
Everything was created for a purpose. Some call it the "balance of nature". "The food chain". Every animal, whether it's the cougar or a cock roach has a purpose.
What about man?
If man didn't exist, this world, the balance of nature would go on just fine. We don't contribute anything to this world, except for our own pleasure.
No, we were created to give God companionship, and to worship Him. In turn, He gifts us with the fruits of creation.

Life doesn't come with guarantees or a preset purpose. It's up to each person to assign meaning and purpose to his or her own life. For me, I try to live in such a way that my wife, my mother, my grandchildren, and my friends will not be ashamed to be associated with me. I try to live morally, be a good husband and grandfather, a trustworthy employee, and a respectable and respectful public servant. I agree with William James that "The best use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts life." and with Robert Byrne, who wrote that "The purpose of life is a life of purpose."

According to me? None. But according to God, it is to have a personal relationship with the Creator of everything, through the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus Who atoned for our sins.

The purpose of life is to enjoy it. According to me. We are all born to be happy. Happiness is giving thanks even for the littlest thing that makes me happy every moment of my life.
