It's all relative just like so many other things are relative. My life does have a meaning for a brief moment or it feels as though *it* is the defining moment but then again something completely different happens; something that negates entirely what just had happened. Eventually, I know that I shouldn't seek any ultimate meaning or a defining moment because no such thing exists in physicality...
Yet, is physicality everything there is to it? And my *ultimate* , [*final*] response is "No" because I am able to sense beauty from within, without having to underline a meaning, or a purpose... Because, life changes and all the multidimensional components directing us toward a certain goal is never final. In other words, the way I seek meaning is instantaneous and I enjoy it to be that way...
It is instantaneous and it does not require a whole lot of energy, just a small step at a time and it is mostly about trying to be present. My immediate goal in life is to be present whenever I can because my presence might exert a larger force on someone Else's life than I can ever think of... Just being present and giving every possible bit I can...
In a nutshell, that is how my life has been unwinding, there are many moments when I wish I could escape but being present is the best feeling ever, things are going to feel senseless for a split second but there will come a another split second when you will feel so appreciative for being "you" ;) At least I'd like to continue holding on to that... ;-]

2 Timothy 4:6-8 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

[NIV at IBS] [International Bible Society] [NIV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
All lives have meaning if you put your trust in Jesus Christ. Without Christ there is no meaning. If you pause for a minute, have you asked God, what purpose did you send me to this planet for. To do nothing, or to do your will? Now, just suppose for a second, God is more intelligent then you. He is no dummy, he sent you here to do his will not your own. The meaning of life my friend is to serve God. One day when eternity comes, you will be in heaven if you keep the Faith. As in the scriptures, Paul kept the faith.......

There is meaning to everyone's life. We might not know what it is at any given moment but that's part of the adventure.
You add meaning to your life by being true to yourself and playing the scenario out. Sometimes it plays real good. Sometimes ... not so much ... but if you learn anything from it then that's what it's all about.
The meaning of my life, or so it seems to be at this time, is to just be me. I'm nothing special, believe me. Spent far too many years trying to please others rather than myself. And after all these years I finally get the bigger picture. It's all so very good. On my way out, for sure, but I found out what everybody's been asking all along. The meaning of life. I'd share it with you but that's not how it goes. You get to figure it out all on your own. Ain't that just the grandest thing of all?

Anyone with kids will tell you, kids provide you with a brand new meaning to life and they become your everything, the meaning and reason you do anything at all. Its a great importance to a parent and one that Im sure most of us would never let go.
When you have kids, they give you passion, dreams, meaning, love, importance- they are all you feel and all you can hope for and accomplish.
I have meaning, I have dreams, I have no reason to add more meaning but I only have the need to prosper and grow and to rear my babygirl properly. She is my all. She will always be the meaning of my life forever.
Anyways :)

I am 65. I am tired with the present system of the nation . Every where corruption and policy of appeasement prevails. I have achieved every thing in my life and when I go to bed I request the almighty [if any] not to show next day but the said almighty does not leason to me and I have to awoke in the morning. I have played my inning. How ever presently I give coaching for Judges and charge nothing. Every thing free of cost. I am well to do and quite happy. Not satisfied with the system.

The only kind of meaning that satisfies us comes from living for a real purpose. If we don't have a real purpose, all our meaning is nothing but seeking to keep busy in order that we don't think about a meaningless existence.
Real purpose is answering the question, "why was I put on this earth?" or "what am I meant to do?". Real purpose implies God.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
But if we do assume a God, then we can immediately see that He must have put our great need for meaning into our human nature to point us to seek Him. In that case, our real purpose on earth is to seek God and allow Him to reveal Himself to us.

to me the word "meaning" means "a reason for your life". I think it means being alive to teach others, to bring others along with us as we learn, even could mean having children to pass on what we've learned, to help others as in good works (like when they're ill or in the hospital, etc.). It's the main commandment: to love God with your whole heart, mind and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself for the love of God.
There's another way to look at "meaning" and that's when you make a plan for your life. You do that as if you're starting a business, you plan every step, you figure out how to sell yourself, you get the education, you take steps to move up even if they are lateral steps to get where you want to get with your career and with a partner, you have children, own a home, make investments, invest in community work, be a leader, plan for your retirement, retire and watch your grandchildren grow.
In my life right now I'm looking for a lateral move and an automated business.

Yes my dear, my life has meaning. I was told by a dear friend that I am everyone's Mom. So I guess my job is to help people grow up, to help them conquer the world!
I like to have fun and help others - life is good, enjoy it.
