Everyone is born to die. What we do in between the time we are born and the time of our death determines when we die and how. If you live a happy life and do your best to MAKE it the best, then you have no reason to wonder about it's meaning.

"What are we here for?"
Your question requires God otherwise your question is meaningless. A natural process such as evolution cannot "mean" anything when it put us here on earth.

We invent things to do in life and deceive ourselves into thinking that our inventions are why we were put here. But it's all self delusion.

Either God put us here or our lives are utterly meaningless.

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.

I've come to two conclusions recently:

1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.

First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.

Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.

So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.

To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

This is my answer so far:

We are each born with someone unique -- a unique language, a way to express ourselves, things within us that need to come out. Many languages, art, dance, running, mothering, analyzing, climbing, touching, too many to think of. So, I think we are here each with our own beauty to express, and we get to discover as many ways as we like to enjoy ourselves and delight other people by expressing the gift within. Then, of course, you die.

It normally takes a good 60 years to find the answer to this question, after which, you just sit back, unwind and discover it!!
