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 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.

I think the meaning of life is defined different for everybody.
It's probably mostly about finding the truth and the will to live in a certain way, and find the strength in yourself to get to that point.
We can always pick! We can pick what we want to eat for breakfast, we can pick what our dreams are and how we wanna get to fullfill them, we can pick when we wanna go to the bathroom, we can pick who we wanna live with, and how we want to look like and so on and so on...
It's just about how you decide, nobody else is going to do any decision for you if you don't want it.

The meaning of life is LOVE. You can pick who you want to be. Be who you are & do it to the best of your ability. Love yourself. You don't get to choose your body, your family, etc. but it's the soul inside that matters anyway. You choose who you are as a person, you decide how to conduct yourself in life. You choose whether to be happy. It's all up to you. So make the best of it!

What an awesome question that I'm surprized took so long to see.
It's not really all that mysterious. You must make some VERY IMPORTANT decisions about life. Right decisions leads to a good, useful, important, and filling and satisfying life. Bad decisions can ruin a life right off the bat before you give yourself a chance for success. Stupid decisions can kill you, alienate you, take away your freedom, cripple you, knock you down and kick you in the guts and stomp of your head, sometimes literally. Life is what you make it.
Real life means you have to support yourself by working for what you want. Everybody that can, should work. Welfare aint no life.
Find the right person. Don't get strung out by 'puppy love' when you're young. It's foolish, childish, and truthfully, unimportant to your future life after school days are over.
Don't get bumfuzzled over celebrities. They aren't real people. Unimportant to real life.
One of the most important things you really should take advantage of is your high school education. Don't allow yourself to be "dumbed down" by crummy teachers or idiot classmates. Without an education, it's nowheresville. Good smarts make life easier. Reading, writing, arithmetic, history (especially American history), science, etc. All can open doors and increase chances to have better jobs and life.
Don't become a teen mother or father. Enjoy youth without screwing it up with a giant mistake while too young to really handle it. Families succeed. Single parent non-families truthfully are extremely bad choices all the way around. Especially bad for the kids.
Don't blow your money just 'cause it's there. Be on time with payments. Don't get caught in a credit card mess. It's all too easy to do. Bills and food first. Then save it, get stuff, and/or 'have fun'.
Nobody wakes up and says "I'm not gonna make it. I'm a failure." We and not born to fail! If you get knowked down, get up, dust yourself off, and be more determined to do the RIGHT thing better and more successfully. LEARN FROM MISTAKES SO YOU DON'T DO THEM AGAIN!!
You have to pick "who I am", and know the difference between good and bad, rewarding life or screwed up and in prison for foolish, unthinking bad choices. You have to think before you jump. You might jump in the fire and burn yourself irrepperably.
Leave the outrageous and stupid stunts to the idiots. They can be killed or crippled in an instant. You don't hear about the people injured by dumb crap you see in the movies and TV these days. Life in a rest home because of a stupid human trick isn't funny, enjoyable, or cheap. Why end up brain damaged or paralized just for a moments thrill. It'll cost you everything. DEATH DOES NOT LIKE TO BE TEASED!!!
Get and use common sense. A lot of things are obviously dangerous. Taking chances, making gambles, doing criminal things, all drag you down.
Enjoy your buzz, just don't enjoy it above the important things.
Nobody succeeds being a lowly 'get high' or drunk all the time. It's fun, just keep it real. Load outs loose out on so much, it's shameful to waste your life.
Crime doesn't pay. Fact of life. There is no such thing as a smart criminal. If they were smart or intelligent, they wouldn't chose a life of crime. Crime is illegal. Don't emulate the criminal loosers portrayed in movies or TV. They aren't heros, they are zeros.
Don't live a soap oprah life! Real life isn't a soap oprah. They are some of the most befuddled 'people' that never existed. Life is real and isn't life TV lives at all.
Life is what you make it. Only you can make it good or bad. It's your responsibility to do right by yourself. Choose wrong, will be treated as wrong deserves. Choose a right straight life, in more ways than one, you can reward yourself. Think of the consequenses of bad decisions before you act on impulse. Save yourself from misery. If you don't, well........you'll be miserable.

(the short life)the first life we live now is a sample of the second life (the life for ever)we are gonna live with God after we die,but that will be different there ,there everything is equal ,all are the same ,there are no girls no men no difference.so as we do now n this life we get at the second ,that why we have to live this life right to be happy at the end..so if every body choose his life we all gonna be sin ,so that why God makes our life and contorle it for our benefits,so thank God for every thing

We can't give ourselves a reason for living. For what reason am I alive? Only my Creator can answer that.
The idea that I have no reason for living is terrifying. I must make up something and then pretend as if that is what I was made for.
And under what criteria would we pick who we want to be? It would be something that makes me feel good. And so the only thing I've done is to invent something to live for that makes me feel good. But I yearn to live my life for something beyond myself; something noble. But living my life to make me feel good isn't that noble purpose.
Our only hope is to seek our Creator.

While you're in spirit, you do choose who you want to be. You have the wonderful gift of free will (aside from reflexes!) If you want to be a doctor, you have the power, you have to believe it first. God woudn't have given you the power to dream if he couldn't follow up with the power to achieve those dreams.

Because if we picked who we wanted to be, then we wouldn't learn the lessons we were supposed to learn in this lifetime....and clearly this one is yours.
Ponder that awhile. You choose before you came down, but Free Will faded it away.....Slippery Apple eh Eve?
