The meaning of life is to forget the past; think of the present; and take things as they come in future.
The meaning of life can be also understood if one goes on listening to the lectures on the glory of GOD and concentrate on the good deeds done by GOD and meditate on Him.

The meanings of the life for a honey bee are encoded in the patterns and colours of flowers, in their unique fragrances, and in the times of their blossom; the meanings of life of a star are in its eternal gaze upon heavens, and in its radiant watchfulness; the meanings of life of a river are in its ‘priest like task’ of flowing thousands of mile across land to reach scorched earth, and along the way to home fish and harbour boat upon its surface; the meanings of life of a soldier are in his vigilance as he stands upon the border of his country awake in nights and watching; the meanings of life of man are in his ability to feed his family and protect them form harm; the meanings of life of a women are in the love for her children.
The meanings of life of this entire universe are in its vastness and expanse, in its mystery and intrigue, for it is its purpose to make us wonder forever and think with longing to find, and to yearn for things yet unknown and seek new paths into distances endless in view. For if there were some definite meanings know to a man than that thing would not have lived, would not have searched and found life along the way.
What does it matters then if we cannot put the meanings of life into meagre holds of the words of our language, when all things are endless, in their pursuits and thus in there being. How long a flower lives at all if it does not live forever through all the seasons of spring coming? Can then the autumn take away the meaningfulness of a blossom even when it takes away all its charms? What does it matter if we do what exactly life means when we have life in things of life we love, for this is all that should matter - life is not a question, and it should neither be, life is the answer to all our questions that we might come up with in living.

To survive and to know as much as you can about the nature of the universe.
As the late great popular cosmologist Carl Sagan said:-
"we are the local embodiment of a cosmos grown to self awareness. We have begun to contemplate our origins: starstuff pondering the stars; organized assemblages of ten billion billion billion atoms considering the evolution of atoms; tracing the long journey by which, here at least, consciousness arose. Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves, but also to that cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring."

Life is meant to be lived as fully as possible rather than breaking head over its meaning that is yet to be found.
It is our egoistic arrogance... we would like to believe that there ought to be a grand meaning to our life..... even assuming there is, it wouldn't be what we made it to be and it would always remain what it was meant to be.... moreover, whoever gave it the Grand meaning ought to be powerful enough to ensure fulfillment without any overt help from us!! The motto should therefore be..... Don't worry, be happy!!!

According to the Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy it's 42, and strangely, that's roughly the same number of times that this question has been asked in the last six months or so.

It's about living each day of your life to the fullest & trying to make it a fruitful one too.
Cos you never know, the way we have been given a life, it can be taken away too, any time..any moment!!!!!!!!
