LOVE! It's that simple.
Love yourself.
Love others.
Love the world & its creatures.
If you can do this then you will be happy & make the most of your life & that's all the meaning you need & more!

The age-old question. { :-D
Here is the meaning of life :
The preamble -
It is not that there is a meaning of life. One may contemplate why they are in the state of living, which is easily answered by the act of reproduction. And why were they called into existence is no more a paradox than the existence of any other living thing.
Life is an action, it is happening and the actions of each living thing is bound by its abilities while it's in the state of living. The committing of an action is only possible because it is living (growth and intentional movement for example). If this is true, then a living thing with intellect, such as humans, are capable of complex actions because they are in the state of living (life). Then it could be said that life is a Tool.
The synopsis -
The living should not quest for the meaning of life.
It is up to the living to 'give' meaning 'to' life. Through our 'actions' to enhance the state of living for ourselves and all living things.
If 'all' that 'live' do 'nothing', life would not have much meaning at all.
I for one, is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all.

I hope to fulfil your curiosity through an extremely different answer......
Life is at once an opportunity for freedom as well as a limitation on freedom...... great contradiction,,,, and that is what life means, a contradiction since inconsistency is its basic characteristic.... totally consistent would be as good as dead.
In this context, meaning of life is the continuous endeavour to change for the better... better as seen as of the moment.... and changes have a characteristic of being cyclical.... so we end up mostly oscillating..... that then gives a 'dynamic' balance which is the overall governing principle of this universe, of which we are but a small minuscule part anyway.
In conclusion, therefore, meaning of life is to be congruent with the whole of which it is a part.

There can be no set answer or sentence to say what the meaning of life is that would cover all of the peoples' in this universe. This is an age old question that will forever be asked because there is no such line. The diversities of the people make it impossible to say ............blank is the meaning of life because we are so different to reference it that way. We should stay focused on our purpose in life, instead. If there were an answer to this question it would have been answered eons ago...it can't be answered so we are still searching and searching to no avail.

You were created to worship Almighty God and observe his commandments.
You are to learn what his will is for you and then you must share this with others. That is the meaning to your life.
Nowadays people have turned from God and get bogged down with making a living and going to school.
God wants our exclusive devotion.
Take one step towards Him and he will help you.
Pray to God through Jesus to have your prayers answered.
Soon will be too late for the conclusion of this system of things is upon us..just as the romans and all the other world powers fell...so the anglo saxon world power will fall...do not put your trust in men.
God will soon bring about a God ruled world where we will live in paradise.
Talk to God.

This is a very debatable question, as you know. And many could write their own book on this !! My general personal philosophy on this is that each person (soul) should help the other fellow soul/s(regardless of individual judgements) and abandon ego and selfishness as much as possible - we are all part of the whole (in life together at this time).

It is different for everyone. You should read the book called "man's search for meaning" by Frankl.

Whatever is not as "part, whole, equivalence, uniqueness, limit, link, sensation, influence, derivative, origin, condition, rule, intent, and fulfillment" is not life.
