Well...lets say you lived 85 years, became, rich, famous etc and then..died...do you realize you'll be dead for a realllly reallllly reallllllllllllllllly long time?
And, considering that you could step out of your house tomorrow and get hit by a car, wouldnt it make sense to wonder if there is something AFTER this life? What happens when you die? What if the Bible is true and we get judged by God for the things we do in this life? The question becomes...what about eternal life?
John 17: 3Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
It is the knowledge and acceptace of God that gives a person meaning in life..want proof? It's the Christians and others of faith NOT the Atheists that do the vast majority of all charitable work on this earth.
And It's Christians specifically that donate 85% of the aid Africa recieves. Eternity has it's implications for how you live now! Gods love and blessings make you want to love and bless others!
Loving Jesus and others IS the meaning of Life. Because God is Eternal and so is every soul you meet every day.
The meaning of life cant be found by looking in but by looking up!
35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.- Jesus
Blessings on your journey,

Well I don't know you so I can't tell you the meaning of your life in particular. I can tell you what I believe is the meaning of life in general: love. Love yourself, love others, love the world around you. This is the key to happiness. Do what you love. Follow your dreams. Make the most of this life. It is up to you. Life is what you make it. Search your soul. Who are you? What do you want out of life? You can make your life meaningful.
Good luck!

Well Kenny, you get to choose. If it feels good, this means you are going in the right direction. It`s trial and error.
Write a journal or diary and include in it your dreams.
Work at being aware of as many moments as possible. This will help you stay as awake as possible.
Eventually it will become clearer.
Have fun and enjoy being out there in the world gleaning as much as possible from as many bushes as possible.

The most dissatisfaction anyone experiences in this life is due to their thinking of themselves more highly than they ought to. The most fulfilled people I know are unselfish and more concerned with what God wants or others need.

That is something each person must discover for themself.

You are born and then you die. What you do in between makes you the person you are.
