the meaning of your life is different than the meaning of my life. If there was a general meaning than no one would ask that question. You have to find your meaning in the people that share your life and you share theirs. If you are asking this out of seriousness than take some time alone and ponder what makes you happy and I think you will find that in living day to day there are great moments and to me that is what life is about living for the next great moment.

To love, and to hurt and to love again. To find something you do with a passion in work, to be grateful for what you have and never forget those that have less. Life can be as simple as a warm ray of sunshine or a little hand wanting to hold yours. Its about opening your eyes and seeing the beauty.

The Life of Samuel Johnson, a biography (1791) by Scottish writer James Boswell.
Generally considered the finest biography in the English language, it is a rounded, revealing, and respectful portrait of one of the great scholars of the day. But its greatness also derives from its vivid descriptions of contemporary society and the candid revelations of its author.

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. -
