Many, upon asking themselves, answer this most important of questions with an inspirational statement or two that has applied to their own good and bad experiences in life. While many of these sayings like "be happy", "try your hardest", "never be discouraged" and so forth are ways to help make life more meaningful, they will still leave the question of life nagging indefinitely. As many words as one can say will never bring closure to the question, for the answer is not a logical conclusion that one can share with others.
The "answer" to the meaning of life can only be found within oneself, appearing through the experience of realizing the connection of the core of what makes your being with that of the universe. If you truly want to reach this understanding, you must be willing to disregard all that has come between the pure essence of your existence and the person you have become to function in the world. The door to this journey has been left closed by many more than have opened it, for the idea of making changes and seeing the world in new ways is frightening for those who have made themselves comfortable in their place. When these people are asked your question they will give you a quick and unsatisfying answer.
Try to isolate the feeling that led you to ask your question in the first place and discover where it came from. Only you can find your own way to the one answer.

The meaning of life is not a question to be answered, but a reality to be experienced.

What is the meaning of the hours you spend in the exam room? same is the meaning of life...your answer paper will be corrected in the end, and you will be rewarded according to your marks. As without a result there is no logic of an exam, similarly without the Day of Judgment there is not meaning of life.
I am a muslim and my logic on the Day of Judgment is not based on blind faith, the Quran is free of contradiction and is compatible with modern science

Do good things in life - help others, be positive, love all. You can follow any particular religion but don't get caught up in the religious dogma - just do good things to make the world a better place and your soul will evolve. Too many people preach "follow my religion! believe in MY god or you'll be punished!" - don't believe that hooey. Find your own god. We're all god. Just do things out of love.
