I agree with this man's opinion of why we are all here.
As it has been impressed on me by observing many people over the years (admittedly through Christian spectacles), it appears that the three parts to your mission here on earth can be defined generally as follows:
(1) Your first Mission here on earth is one which you share with the rest of the human race, but it is no less your individual Mission for the fact that it is shared: and it is, to seek to stand hour by hour in the conscious presence of God, the One from whom your Mission is derived. The Missioner before the Mission is the rule. In religious language, your Mission here is: to know God, and enjoy him forever, and to see his hand in all his works.
(2) Secondly, once you have begun doing that in an earnest way, your second Mission here on earth is also one which you share with the rest of the human race, but it is no less your individual Mission for the fact that it is shared: and that is, to do what you can, moment by moment, day by day, step by step, to make this world a better place, following the leading and guidance of God's Spirit within you and around you.
(3) Thirdly, once you have begun doing that in a serious way, your third Mission here on earth is one which is uniquely yours, and that is:
a) to exercise that Talent which you particularly came to earth to use -- your greatest gift, which you most delight to use,
b) in the place(s) or setting(s) which God has caused to appeal to you the most,
c) and for those purposes which God most needs to have done in the world.
When fleshed out, and spelled out, I think you will find that there you have the definition of your Mission in life. Or, to put it another way, these are the three Missions, which you have in life.
Peace and every blessing!

You are born of the Human Life. But the meaning of Your human life is that one day you will call upon the Name of the Lord Jesus and receive the Divine Life of God into that part of you called your human spirit. This part is made to match God and is also a vessel to contain the very life of God.
The meaning of the Human life is that it will be a container and express the Divine Life.
The Human life is like a glove,made in the image of a hand... but if we try to fill this glove with sand or water or a foot it will not be fulfilling its purpose.. but if u fill this glove with a hand then this glove fulfills its purpose in being formed. Then it FITS.. its animated.. every last part of that glove.. down to the last digit is filled and animated.
Education, entertainment, money, people, things and matters cannot satisfy us in our human life because deep in us there is a part that goes beyound all these other " things" and is only satisfied with God.
Its like feeding a thirsty man juice or pepsi or giving him an ice cream when truly .. he does not want the sweet clammy stuff but simple pure water to truly quench his longing and thirst.
SO the meaning of Life.
That your human life will be filled with the Divine Life of God that you can Express God in His Image and exercise His authority on the earth over all things, even over satan... and even a step further.. since we are not alone as believers in Christ, but are part of a WHOLE.. part of the Body of Christ, then together we make up someone that matches Christ in life and nature.. so much so that one day we become the Bride of Christ as His counterpart in eternity.
Our Life is truly destined to be a glorious one..
MAY WE NEVER BE DEFRAUDED...

Life only has meaning if you give it one. Each person's life then would have a different meaning so really you should ask yourself this question because no one can answer it for you.
Bright Blessings!

Life can be given a meaning, when one experience life in body as separate from body. Without this experience whatever meaning is given is useless. After experience of life, life governs mind body complex and its a journey of Bliss and Joy.
Mostly r ignorant to life and gives meaning to only mind body complex. Then Its a journey of pleasure and pains.

Life is a way to reach our destination,our purpose.Life is a struggle to reach our purpose.of course before,we must know what is our purpose of life.The purpose of life is very important for us because it will influence much of our life part.How to find it?I think you can share with someone to fiend it.Or you can find what's the most important in your life which will make you really happy forever if you get it and of course it located in "future" not in past.Ok?I sure that you will find it if you really2 think it seriously and objectively

The more intelligent you are, the better your chance of discovering the true meaning of life, the more power you have to achieve it, and the greater your probability of acting on it!

Who really knows the answer to that question, all I know is that we have been around since basically the beginning of the Universe and we are still around...
Ask me in 2013 when I am in the 5th dimension and I may have a better answer....
Blessed Be... )O(
