Anywhere the Life has one meaning
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. -

Your question contains the assumption that life has a 'meaning'. Secular progressives believe that life simply is, and you live it with the most meaning that YOU can give it because it has no intrinsic meaning of it's own.
So to answer your question, the 'meaning of life' to those of us who are 'secular progressives' (sorry for the quotes, I just love your labels), is that life is what you make of it. For 'religious conservatives' that would be terrifying. For the rest of us, it's empowering and unlimited in possibility.

Secular progressives or not, the world still has hungry to feed and homeless to shelter. That's part of where I find my meaning of life. How about you?

You have to remember that there is a disagreement on what "forward thinking" entails. New technology? Sure, most people will accept that. There's also a lot of the past that might be good to keep in the future, such as certain moral values. You also have to separate the word "progressive" from "wanting to move to a bright tomorrow" and "progressive as a political term." For example, I'm a straight and gay...it means that I am bot

Catholics (non-secular progressives) believe the meaning of human life is to know and love God.
With love in Christ.

Live life to the fullest, treat others as you would like to be treated, and life is what you make of it.
All those things are true if you are Secular, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other religion or Athiest.

In a world of "secular progressives", the meaning of life is:
-- instant gratification;
-- no accountability in the individual;
-- no standards applied to society;
-- innocent babies can be put to death, but convicted murderers can't.
