Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

I think about this question a lot, probably every day. I've always been a thinker, a dreamer.
Most recently I've thought about the cycle of life and how life exists. We know that life is finite for individual organisms, and that life has chosen (or it has been chosen for us) to multiply, rather than put energy into regeneration. Is this intentional, or rather the only way life knows how to persist?
In my years of hospice experience I've been able to watch many people pass, thus sparking a lot of thought in my mind about life and it's meaning. My thoughts today are that we are meant to be a part of a cycle of receiving and giving. We are given life, we experience life, and we give our lives back, in the end, and let someone or something else live and be a part of life. As long as we're part of that cycle, life has meaning.
A good example would be how sometimes we are the recievers of love, support, or graciousness....and sometimes we give that to someone else. In either occasion, the most meaningful parts of life are experienced. If we had an unlimited amount of days, life would lose meaning! We are ultimately humbled by our gift of life, even moreso knowing we must live each day to the fullest.
I believe it is very intentional, life, and the design we're a part of. It is easier to understand if you don't over-think...like anything you master, it is an innate ability rather than an aquired one. My advice would be to focus on the things that make you feel the best about yourself, the things that make you feel alive and give you hope. When you're at the end of the journey, you'll have all sorts of 'good energy' to carry you on to the next...

To question the meaning of life and the reasons behind our being here.
Of course life will only have the meaning that you decide to give it. Most people want a ready-made meaning to their life, as it is a lot easier and allows them to escape the monster responsibility of figuring out a purpose for their struggles. Having a meaning handed to us is the exact opposite of being free, but this tends to be ignored.
We're here because the tendency to continue to exist has been favored over the tendency to die off or cease to exist, and this has led to a long chain of biological changes which, if followed long enough, lead to the first humans and then to your parents, and you. You can continue the chain (maybe this could be your meaning in life), or you could decide it's not worth it and cut the chain.

It really does depend on YOUR perspective.
I can infer from the way my life has gone that I'm here to learn and experience as much of possible.

Personally...
Life is a test and our duty is to somehow get to heaven...your home, cars, money doesn't matter. Develop a spiritual conscience and live according to God's laws...On this earth, try to make friends and DONT be a fool.
