As humans we think of ourselves as the end of the line in evolution. As such we feel that our lives as individuals must have some greater meaning. When we consider that we as a species comprise a given percentage of the biomass based on our consumption as top predator this is an easy trap to fall into. The true meaning of life should be considered from the perspective of the biomass itself. We as humans have been around as a numerical percentage of the biomass for a relatively short span of time. Especially considering the length of time the biomass itself has been present on this planet as a "consistent mass". We are nothing more then an expression of the biomass. Another permutation that it's created in it's own game of survival and expansion. For the question to be relevant it must be asked "What is the desired goal of the biomass"? In this context the answer is simplicity itself. The goal is to expand beyond the confines of the planetary biosphere. To achieve this goal it is necessary to create a permutation capable of designing the next stage of evolutionary consciousness and humans with their mechanical ingenuity seem well equipped to do so. If, in fact, they don't destroy themselves in the process. It's been said that necessity is the mother of invention. The biomass is counting on that. That's why we were created so virulent.

Meaning is a human derivative. In order to create meaning you have to derive that meaning from something. There is no inherent meaning all around us, but rather, we give and create meaning for the things we see around us.
Therefore, meaning can only be self referential. Life is what you make of it. Nothing less, and nothing more.
Unless of course you want to look at reality from outside reference frames, more specifically from a point of origin. In that case, I would argue at the current time it is impossible to perceive a reality that is not your own, and therefore irrelevant.

The meaning of life is to understand your spiritual and social role to yourself and the rest of humanity. These two roles will guide you to the right path. The new book "Another Thought" by OC Tross explains this concept fully.

The meaning of life at least to me is what ever you create, and make it to be.

This question is asked an incredulous amount. "The purpose of life is a life of purpose" -Robert Byrne
What I have to add:
And a life of purpose is living out a life of faith in God.

I feel it is to be the best we can be, within ourselves. (not for anyone elses expectations).
Taking what we experience in life and learning from it.
Loving ourselves and being connected to ourselves. spiritaly, emotionally & physically.
Everything we do makes a wave in the universe.
And just like a tree, each moment is a ring around our core.

As I've said about 37 times a day, nothing. There is no meaning at all.
