To make this life worthy of living... we only need to search for the hidden ingredient of life that paves way to accomplish the purpose we were born for! Every single human being has a fixed purpose in life... we only need to search for it! The ultimate goal of every human being reaching the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)!
Enlightenment and salvation are not easy to achieve in a single life span! No doubt Mahavira did it... so did Gautama Buddha! Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed also followed the same path! In about hundred years or so only one or two persons gain enlightenment and salvation amongst 6500 million people existing on Mother Earth! A tough task indeed!
In every journey of life as a human being... we have intermittent goals! To search for that passion in life... indulging in which we lose track of time must be our Endeavour of life. Having a goal in life is journey half covered. We only need to hear this sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come from our heart... it always guides us on the right path!
Most human beings on Mother Earth never form a goal in life. They keep whiling away their life like the rudderless boat in the deep ocean... going round and round and never reaching its goal! Every human being has the privilege of power of discrimination that distinguishes us from animals. Mounted with this power of discrimination... every human being can cover the journey of life in a meaningful manner!
When I started in search of God at 13 years of age... I was entirely alone with no guru (spiritual master) to guide me. Traveling this uncharted territory had its pitfalls. 25 years of yoga and meditation finally yielded results. I realized god at 37 years of age. Having come face-to-face with God... I can commune with god on one-to-one basis and that too permanently! I finally reached the end goal of my cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!

Hm, interesting. To know the answer you must ask yourself this question. Asking someone else is simply asking their opinion of what would make their own life fuller, to themselves. Eg. Doing something unexpected like helping a stranger or it could simply be getting married and having children. In a different context, terrorists would believe the kamikaze way out of life, an emergency exit shortcut to a better life by suicide for a wholesome and fulfilling purpose. This, obviously is absurd, however asking someone their point of view is simply reinstating their beliefs.
What do you want to do, to change your life and make it all worth while? Think about that.

Impossible without God. If there is no God, then we're like children inventing activities that we pretend are meaningful.
We get our real worth from working out our real purpose in life and real purpose can only come from a Creator. For purpose requires a design and a design requires a Designer.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (philosopher, mathematician and Nobel Laureate)
Our society uses praise to manipulate our behavior and so we tend to get our self worth from praise. So society uses our intense desire for self worth to get us to behave ourselves. But it's all just manipulation and doesn't represent real worth.
So real worth can only come from our Creator. I choose to seek God (even not knowing for sure that He exists) rather than to invent some make-believe purpose in life and then pretend that it gives me worth.

Live life the way you want it to be. Be contended with what you have, and be happy about them. Realise that many others around you are not so fortunate (as you) - give/share whenever you can.

the only one who knows the correct and perfect answer for your question is: YOU....
because (in my opinion) if you find out what you really want, who you really are, what makes you happy; than you can make a happy world around you....do not be afraid to be yourself! this is not always easy...but there is no impossible:)
