If you think you're just passing through this lifetime, on the way to some grander one, how do you find any meaning in life?

Charity and generosity.
Volunteer to help others free of charge.
Force yourself to help.
The meaning of life becomes very clear and precious.

First, Dude, I hope and pray Christians are not just passing through, though I know where you are coming from with that little jab.
We are heading to the Grandest of all places and Life eternal, but the meaning to life is what gets us there and gives us purpose till we do. Of course by this I mean God and his son Jesus.
Jesus commanded us to go forth and preach to all nations. That means we must keep on passing the truth along till we see His face. It is called the great commission and there is no retirement till worms start the buffet

Well Dude, I have the gift of prophecy and I have healed one person and sometimes I am an intercessor, (you may have to ask a Christian what that means). I have seen a guy with crossed eyes, healed before my own eyes. I have been personally slain in the spirit. I know, I know, as an Athiest, I thought that it was all in their heads, but when I was deathly ill, I could not just wish my illness away untl I actually call upon the God I denied, he also healed my suicidal tendencied, so i think I would rather walk with jesus then walk with thoughts of suicide every day thank you very much.

Nobody knows the meaning of life so don't bother trying to find it, it's impossible, if it was possible do you think we'd be asking this question right now? No.
I think everyone should try to achieve a lot of goals in their lives so it will give it some meaning and make you feel good.

You answered it for me. The meaning of life is the continual search for ways to improve one's spirit in order to get out of this awful place. It is the testing place I think. You are put here to be put through the fire and turned into a purer gold, if you will. You cannot fully appreciate true happiness if you have never experienced true sorrow. The purpose or meaning of life is learning to know the difference and to strive for the greatness each individual can acheive.

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.

the meaning of life is to get to the other side with as little wrong as you can, and the wrong you do is considered by you to be wrong or right

God's word is our life. We use it in our everyday walk. It strengthens us, sustains us and gives us peace. It is the missing link in everyones life. The sad thing is most don't realize it.

There is no meaning to life on earth apart from our hope in a better life after this actually ! And Christ promised us that.
