Real meaning comes from living for a real purpose. A real purpose requires a Creator.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
When anyone says to create your own meaning, they are not talking about true meaning, they are telling you how to cope with the utter pointlessness of a life without God. Keep busy so you can't think about it; focus on happy thoughts and do heroic or other praiseworthy deeds so you can build up your self esteem. All aimed at self delusion.
It is either reject God and lead an independent life constantly seeking to avoid thinking about the terrible pointlessness of it all, or,
Seek God even not knowing if He exists or not.

The meaning of Eternal Life is to know that you are a Divinely Beloved son of God in Jesus and that you have living faith that you will eventually be all perfect in personality, spirit, soul, mind and body forms when you are a Resident on infinite Paradise and eternally doing God's will in Glorious services and adventures !

If you have faith and have asked the holy spirit of God into you and have asked of it and listened for the answers which come in a very quiet voice and then try to do Gods will then the spirit will show you what the meaning of your life is .Peace

You've got to make your own purposes. I can't tell you what the meaning of your life is (beyond 42) because I'm not you.

You are exceedingly precious in the eyes of God.
He sent His Son down from heaven to die on a cross so you could be with Him forever.
All He is asking is that you believe, and try to get others to see, by treating them as if it were true, that God died for us, so we could live forever.
