Life has real meaning when we live for a real purpose. Real purpose requires God by the very definition of the word "purpose".
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell (noted 20th century philosopher)
So if we neglect God, then there is no purpose and all we can do is to live in some way that we get little bits of occasional happy feelings. We focus on those meaningless feelings as one way to forget our meaningless existence.
But if God exists, then He must have put our great need for meaning into our human nature in order to point us to seek Him. So seeking God is our purpose. We serve our purpose by obeying God's command to love our neighbors as ourselves for where love is, there God is also.
