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. -

The meaning of life is thought by many to be varying. While others believe that the meaning of life is to love, live to the fullest extent and reproduce so the world may continue, many believe that the only common event that occurs, in all lives around the world and in history, is death.
There are about 6.5 billion people on Earth. To think that there is one purpose for all of them is naive. If you really want to know your place, choose from the list I've came up with thus far. Now take in consideration that this is a work in progress.
1. Angels-the providences of men (eg. teachers..)
2. Guardians-the protectors, defenders, and nouturers of life (eg. law enforcement, protective peers and relatives....)
3. Champions-those few selected to make the right changes in history (eg. Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi)
4. Blockers-the antagonist (Hitler, Pol Pot)
5. Watchers-the everyday bystanders who don't affect anyone but themselves, but they know how to help.
6. Markers-only there to take up space
7. Builders-the foundation of the world, who creates it and made it what it is today.
I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of positions, but from the few shown, those are the meanings of their lives.

Each answer you get should be different because we do not experience the same things in life. The meaning of life like the majority believes, "We were put here to worship God". I'm not saying this because someone told me so.....why else have we been put here? Think about it. To take up space? I don't think so. It could be just to experience life and pass it on but to those who don't believe in life after death this would not be true if we could not take our memories with us.

could be to change who we are at the most fundamental level, as memories and emotions are biological and so i cant see us taking these with us when we die.
of course, "life" could also be some form of prison, a means to hold us unaware we are even being held, or a simulation created by advanced beings, or even a 'game' or 'experiment' created by our true selves outside this spacetime.
i mean, theres surely no such thing as true randomness, as everything must perform according to some law, unless it is being controlled by something greater. its reasonable then to argue we are something greater in control of these biological bodies we inhabit, unless we assume that we have no free will and act out according to the laws of the universe too.
on a lower biological level, humans are preprogrammed to survive and reproduce at an instinctive level..hence the desire to live and sex drive. but what is the use for knowledge and emotion outside all of this, as our knowledge is useless once we leave the universe, as it loses all meaning.. just as a ship is no longer of use once we leave the sea. makes ya wonder aye?

Just the fact that I am here is meaningful enough. I do not have a set reason or meaning for my life and I'm ok with that idea. It doesn't change the fact that I exist anyway.

life- the general condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism; a means of reproduction and internal regulation in response to the environment.
oh... I don't think that's what you were looking for, is it?
Let's see, the meaning of life..........hmmmm.........
that's a tough one.......ummmmm....oh, how about this?
Life is the result of One who is so full of love that he had to express himself in the form of life. Then that life can do the same. And on it goes.

If you are looking for the meaning it is linked to the purpose and God holds our purposes, which means *He is the reason, and the meaning to living life belongs to him...What did God create you for is the meaning of all life. How successful you are depends on realization of that!

Attitude! You have a bad one your life sucks big time. You have a good one your life is on a roll; it's like riding on a silver road made of stars.

The meaning of life is what you make of it. It's that simple.
