Now I know there's no concrete answer only opinion. But, I'm interested in knowing what everyone believes the meaning is. I believe the meaning of life depends on the one who lives that life. For one it could be hell, another heaven, it all depends on you.

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. -

In searching for the meaning of life, I've found there are four more questions to ask:
1. What is sacred?
2. What is the spirit made of?
3. What is worth living for?
4. What is worth dying for?
And the answer to all of these is: L - O - V - E

Now, I have some theories:
1. Life has no meaning. We are just here.
2. If you have heard of or played Black and White the PC game by EA, you'll understand the following: God put us on this Earth to see what we would do (basically, ants in an ant farm) and occasionally interact with us (e.g. deciding our fate with various things that used to be thought created by God).
and finally, 3. I haven't the faintest idea!
I hoped you liked my input.

The meaning of life is what you make it. You can give your life meaning by choosing something to pursue - goals, mostly - or by following a spiritual path. Some people create a meaning for their life by not being something or by not doing something. Some people think that their parents' idea of the meaning of life should also be theirs. Most people go through most of their life with the idea that a few hours a week doing something in particular will give their life meaning. Only very few are successful in making everything they do, all 24 hours every day, the meaning of their life. Being alive means we have choices as to what the meaning of our life should be.

I have a book for you. Read Victor Frankl's small but powerful Man's Search for Meaning. Frankl is from what is known as the 3rd School of Viennese Psychology, the 1st two being Freud and Adler. His theory on logotherapy is quite amazing.
He argues that "meaning" or sense of purpose varies from person to person, but man must have it in order to keep on going. He survived the Nazi death camps

To Me the meaning of life is to live it to it's fullest, don't waste time on petty things that nobody is gonna care about in a year, love and respect life and treat people the way you want to be treated. the only thing people will remember about us after we are gone will be those good things and how we lived our lives

There is no meaning. It is just God's little game. We are mere Sims™ projected onto the Earth for entertainment.

There isn't one!
God is just like a child with an ant farm. We are an experiment or entertainment. Nothing more!
