Answer 2

People has different point of view regarding on what is really the meaning of life. The meaning of life to me is to serve God and follow His will. I have faith that solely base on the bible so as a basis I will quote some verses coming from the bible.
Long time ago a wise man said this “Ecclesiastes 1:2 -14 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. “
If we will read the entire book of Ecclesiastes we will see that Solomon searching for “what is the purpose” or ”the meaning of life”. He do everything what his heart desire/wants but in the end he got one conclusion for what is the meaning or purpose of life: And he wrote “Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
And I believe in what Solomon’s believe in.

Answer 3

Each person must find their own sense of meaning in life.

If you are struggling with this may I suggest you look into any one of the following:

Charitable work. Helping others gives great satisfaction in one's life. Really immerse yourself in it, such as joining to Peace Corps to help poor people in the 4rth world.

Education. Pursue a liberal arts and sciences education in a good university. Realizing one's intellectual potential is very meaningful and will answer a lot of your questions.

Setting and achieving some physical goal. Start by climbing a mountain in Colorado. Then climb Kilimanjaro. Have as a goal eventually climbing Mt Everest.

Answer 4

Could I respectfully suggest you get a book called 'The Purpose Driven Life' by Rick Warren.

It is set out in a logical sequence for forty days reading, beginning with 'What on earth am I here for?'

It may provide an answer to your question in more detail

Answer 7

The first is that you should weigh up on the scales of the senses established in your body the bounties stored up in the treasuries of the Divine Mercy, and offer general thanks on behalf of all your body.

The second is that, through the feelings, tendencies and faculties embedded in your nature, you should discover the hidden treasuries—the works and manifestations—of the Divine Sacred Names, and recognize the Most Holy One through those Names.

The third is that in this place of exhibition—the world—you should consciously display through your life before the whole creation the subtle manifestations of the Divine Names in your being [such as your senses, faculties and abilities].

The fourth is that you should proclaim your worship and servant-hood to the Court of the Creator’s Lordship verbally and through the tongue of your disposition.

The fifth is that you should do like a soldier who, appearing on ceremonial occasions before the king with the decorations he has received from him, displays the marks of the king’s favor towards him. You should consciously adorn yourself in the “jewels” of subtle human senses and faculties embedded in your being through the manifestations of the Divine Names and present yourself to the view of the Eternal Witness.

The sixth is that the main purpose for the creation of living beings is that they should worship and glorify their Creator. They fulfill this duty by submission to Him—by obeying, consciously or unconsciously, the laws He established for their lives. Thus, you should consciously observe the obedience of living beings to their Creator—their glorification and worship of Him—and reflect on them and acknowledge them through testifying to them.

The seventh is that, through taking as units of measurement the small samples of attributes like the partial knowledge, power and will given to your life, you should recognize the absolute Attributes and sacred qualities of the Majestic Creator. For example, seeing that by using your partial knowledge, will and power, you have made a beautiful, well-ordered house for yourself , you should know that the Maker of this palace of the universe is powerful, wise and capable to the degree it is greater than your house.

The eighth is that you should understand the speech of each being in the world in its particular tongue concerning the Oneness of the Creator, the Lordship of the Maker.

The ninth is that from your impotence and weakness, and poverty and neediness, you should infer the degrees of the manifestations of the Divine Power and the Richness of the Lord. Just as the pleasures and varieties of food are understood or distinguished in relation to the degrees of hunger and kinds of need, so too you should understand the degrees of the infinite Divine Power and Richness through your infinite impotence and poverty.
