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 my opinion yes he did make us for a reason,and he may not want us to know what that is,but in everything we do to glorify him! To our school work to a worker on the job to treat others how we would want to be treated,I think to love one an other is really it,also to glorify him no matter what life gives us!The good with the bad. He will never fail us.

For me, the meaning and purpose of life is to go back, from where we came from. We came from the Source of Life ( God the Father ) He put us here in temporary state until we decided ( by freewill ) to return to Him.
Returning to the Source is not easy. It requires obedience and faith to follow the rules and instruction given via Bible. Humans has to undergone a process in order to achieve the purpose. The process is what we view as SUFFERING and Self-denial.
Through experience of the process required, slowly and gradually, we will able to understand more, of our Father, why He created us and How much He love us to return to Him
Humans are composed of both flesh and spirit. Since the flesh is subject to decaying, rules tell us to deny its desires. But to concentrate in cultivating the full potential of the spirit within us.
Do not love the physical world as well your physical body for it will came to pass, it will end. But uniting with the Source will give us eternal life.

No, not at all.
Life's meaning is not pre-determined and planned out; you are not a pawn in the games of the Gods, nor especially singled out to be an avatar or martyr. You must find your own destiny and meaning; you must create it. You have something -- life, the here-now, the present -- and must make the best out of it. You must answer why you are here.
In my opinion, I feel that the goal of life is simple. It is to thrive and be happy. None of us had a "choice" in whether or not we were born, but now that we are alive we have the power to either enjoy it or end it. If you find yourself in a situation, you should strive to make the best of it. Increase your happiness. Have fun with things. If you're going to be alive anyways, you might as well have a good time while you're at it.
So the purpose of life is to give life a purpose; the goal of life is to enjoy it.

I think the main purpose of living is dedicating my life for Allah the only one God by maximising the benefit of my life for other i.e parents,family,relatives,neighbours,friends, and other people in the state and country..I should work and take action in line with Allah's life guide that is spoken in the holy qur'an.I pray to Allah and I ask for help to Allah..I convince that in every difficulty there is an easiness..I should love,respect and help other if I can do it

I think that many people have their own meaning of what 'Glorify' means.
We are supposed to accept Him, and love Him, and trust Him. That's what we are supposed to be doing. All the other stuff is what He has for us personally.

I agree.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man."

Our purpose in life? Do all the good we can, and have fun doing it!
Addendum:
Hmmm.... thumbs down. Does that means then that we should do all the evil we can, and be miserable the whole time? Sorry, but I'm not buying it. Gotta stick with my original answer. God wants us to do all the good we can, and to be happy while doing it.
