The meaning of life. It seems to be such a broad and unanswerable subject. But it's as simple as one scripture in the Bible.\nThis is found Ecclesiastes 12:13.\nSolomon was wise and extremely wealthy. He had it all and did it all, and that scripture is his comment on what the meaning of his life had come to be.\n\nFear God. Obey God's commandments*\nThat is my reason for living...getting to know God and his commandments, developing a wholesome fear of him (fear of displeasing him).\n\n*not just the 10 Commandments...the best way for us to obey His commandments is to examine how Jesus led his life and do our best to immitate that, as well as follow his council.

the meaning of life is to ponder the meaning of life.  The catch is if we ever find out the meaning of life all life will end and be replaced by something even more complicated.

There isn't a true meaning of life, any more than there is a true meaning of rocks, or a true meaning of gravity.\n\nThis is not the same thing as saying life is pointless or worthless. It's what you aim for that counts - as the saying goes, shoot for the moon, and even if you miss you reach the stars. You have to agree with yourself which aims make sense, where you want to go - nobody can do this for you, they won't be the right ones. For me, coming to terms with the fact I can't do everything was the first step towards realising I can do something. \n\nMay you work out what your own personal something is, and exceed it!

The meaning of life is the process of figuring out what you're going to do with it. Then, when you've nearly done it, figuring out what exactly you did...and why.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.\n\nI believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.\n\nYou need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.\n\nThe meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities.  Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us.

The meaning of life is to create meaning!  The answer is in the question.  Life has no meaning unless you make something out of it.  Otherwise you are just a speck, on a speck, on a speck.  It all means nothing, unless you value it.  One mans garbage is another man's treasure.  \n\nAnd the great thing is, the more you value it, the more your life becomes meaningful, and valuable to others as well!  \n\nIt all begins by asking these simple yet profound abstract questions.  They all have answers.  But once you have one answer three more questions pop up.  Ask those too!\n\nMy destiny is to answer this question!
