The meaning of Your life is what ever you find most meaningful. What ever you think is important is what you should pursue.

First, some people will answer that there is no meaning but I've never actually seen anyone live that way (except one who was suicidal).
The source of our need for meaning is the more important question. There are only two possibilities:
1) We are created beings and our Creator put the need for meaning inside of our heads to point us to Him.
2) Mindless evolution put the need there thousands of years ago as the need forced our ancestors to behave in some manner that was more conducive to survival at that time. Therefore, there is no meaning but the result of evolution forces us like slaves to keep looking for a meaning that isn't there.
So, to answer your question. If you think there is a God, seek Him. If you think there is no God, then find things to occupy your time so you won't have to think so much about life having no meaning.

The meaning of life is to live and let live; peace, love and the pursuit of happiness for first others and then yourself. I am assuming your question is geared towards life in general. This is said from the heart of a person who was raised to love.
The meaning of life is to survive; kill when you fear for you life or your gains are threatened, be better then the next guy, become irreplaceable no matter the cost, lie to protect, and intimidate to gain control. This is said from the heart of a person who was raised to be hate.
Get high and just live by 'auto pilot'. This is said from the heart of an addict of the drug of his/her choice (prescribed or not). No true understanding of life nor do they have a self sought purpose. Basically this person has given up on themselves and given up on helping others. This person could care less who lives or dies unless it has to do with their ability to keep themselves drugged up.

Read Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus." If that doesn't help then try reading Romans chapter 5 in the Bible.

Life isn't meaningful without creativity, adventure, learning, laughter, and joy. Is the deepest realities and inspires toward highest possibilities. Life is finding your fulfillment and happiness in oneself.

Very simple... Life's purpose is to perpetuate itself.
I favor using three approaches to that end... To learn; to practice; to teach.
My life-guides are three also... Truth, Empathy, and Communications.
Works for me!!
