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.

This is completely theory and opinion, but I think life is a sort of spiritual obstacle course. We are all given problems to overcome that strengthen our souls over the course of our natural life. This is going to sound a little crazy, but I think we are all being prepared for something on the other side. What exactly it is, I can't even begin to contemplate.

Good news everyone!
The meaning of life is 42.
I've proved this in a long complicated mathematical formula that is too long to list here.

To fellowship with your Creator.
Fellowship was lost due to sin. The sin issue could not be dealt with by good works, traditions, or rituals. The wages of sin is death. A loophole was created by God that a substitute death could be used, hence the Levitical system of sacrifice, a picture of what was to come. God came down in the form of man, to live, and die in our place to re-establish our lost fellowship. This event tore the veil in the Temple to announce that the wall of separation between man and God was over. All we need do is come to Christ for the cleansing of sins and obtain the once-lost fellowship.
Why are we here? - For God to obtain a people, who by free will choice, choose Him without seeing Him. Who trust in Him when all the world trusts themselves.

To know and worship the Living and True God,
and to await His Son from heaven, who is soon to return and set up His earthly Kingdom.
Come quickly Lord Jesus!

It has no meaning, nor does the question. Ever watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

I have never bothered about it. Life is very short. Enjoy it.
