Some very shallow people on here. Life is whatever you want it to be. Today it may be one thing and tomorrow another. Life is an adventure. Enjoy it. You say you want alot from life, well start with the small stuff, those easily reached goals, and then go from there. Nothing though is ever written stone, you ideas, dreams etc will change. That is one definite thing in life and that is change.... Just enjoy all that you have and don't think of the petty things because those are not what you really want, they are just perks for being here. Find your passion and follow your heart.

My reason for living is life itself. It's the only thing we have, or we perceive we have. As for the meaning of life, that's up to each and one of us. For me it is to make this an enjoyable place for all and that's what I'm trying to do. From a universal perspective, anything I do (or anything anyone does for that matter) is absolutely pointless, so we might as well enjoy this pointlesness that is existance. \n\n\n\nEdit, as a response to the asker's comments: \n\nWhy would my reason be weak? I mean, you basically answered your own objection in your comment. What is the point in doing good? There isn't one. But what is the point in doing anything else? What is the point in doing the wrong things, what is the point in eating ice cream, what is the point in doing anything at all? There is no point to any of them. Talking from the universal perspective. Our existance is as meaningless as the existance of a rock or a black hole. We are particles, nothing more nothing less. \n\nWhere am I going with this? Well, this absolute meaningless of existance enables us to give our lives any meaning whatsoever, as there is no pre-determined meaning, something that most religions suggest. I gave my life the meaning that I stated in my initial answer, because since there essentially is no point in anything and life in itself has no purpose, we might as well enjoy our conscious existance, since, after all, life is all we have got. And that's what I'm trying to do, make it all enjoyable for us. That's my own personal way in which I want to spend my life, at least right now. It is as pointless as anything else, however, why not be happy in all this pointlesness?

Every time you see something, ask yourself if you really need it. The best way to be enlightened is to be happy with what you have and, at the end of your life, be able to look back and be satisfied with the contribution you made to the world.

I think we all seek love and peace within, but not all know how to get there. Life doesn't give us a manual book on "How to live", we discover that as we live. We do what we want, or either what we want to believe in, it is only after taking that path do we discover if it was the right path or not. More often than not there are mistakes thrown in there, and then we have to dig ourselves out of the hole that we unwittingly dug. But we did dig that hole in bid of peace and happiness.\nThen we have those who hasn't even learned what love is and they have to want to seek it to find it. It can take a life time to discover what you really want, and again what we want more often than not changes, it's called progress..

you mean what is the meaning of life on earth?  what is our purpose? who knows, and why does it matter anyway?  \n\nIt's nice to ponder on such things, but we don't actually NEED all the answers in life to live a fulfilling happy existence anyway.

You can't. There's a lot of things in life you can't know, which is why it's better to deal with subjective reality. Believe in what you want, and that's all that matters. Just keep in mind the objective consequences.

everyone and their dog asks this question. except most of the time, it's worded as "what's the meaning of life?". this is just my opinion, but I believe it's for everypne to figure out for themselves. everyone views life differently, and no one would agree on the same exact thing. for some, it's to get rich, and others, to raise a family. there's more than a million different things one could come up with that they think is the purpose of life. just experience it for yourself and you decide what the purpose of YOUR life is. that's all I can suggest.

you apreciate life by accepting what you do and what you have, therefore you can be happy about your life...  you can't always have what you want, just be happy about what you have and don't want too many things...  you can also do things that help others, that may make you feel better about yourself too

Ever read the Metamorphosis by Kafka. Don't. \n\nTry to take pleasure in the little things and don't look toward the materialistic ever because then life will be empty. \nI can't tell you what life means exactly. \nIf you ever have a free moment to yourself you should try to get out and find somethings that inspires you. \nFind something to live for or a cause to live for. Never stop learning.

If you ask any question, with the word 'why', no answer that you will get, will completely answer that question. So, to get a complete answer, you must ask another 'why' question. Ultimately, after many tedious questions, the ultimate answer to your original question, will be 'God'.\n\nexample; Why do we eat? To live. Why do we live? To procreate. Why do we procreate? To continue human life. Why should we continue life?...To please God.\n\nGod is the only meaning to life.

The only thing that we know for certain without debates on the beginning of time etc.  is that life wants to continue to exist.  Thats the purpose of life, to exist and continue existence.  Everthing else that goes along with this is luxury.

You are basically asking what the meaning of life is.  I believe that we all have a purpose here.  The hard part is chosing the right path to follow in order to get where we are destined to be.

Life is what you make of it. We're all here for a reason, but that reason is different for every single one of us. The purpose of us living is to fulfill the above, to find out the reason we're here and achieve the goal in satisfying ourselves that we've found out that reason and completed it.

Be a good human being. Be honest to yourself. Wish and seek the truth about life diligently. Do to others what you want from them. Do not get trapped in any belief system. Be a free human being. Without freedom, there cannot be growth.

|Boring and enjoyment are all in the mind! Ask yourself: What's the purpose of my life? You would come up with different Objectives that you want to achieve in your life. You will not get a second one for your life's goals, so start planning and try your best, to make your life worth living for, and you'll not get bored with your life... ever!

Never ever ever. Just think about it this way. Once you get to the other side there is still another side. You can only find happiness where you are within yourself instead of wishing you had something you dont. Once you get it there is always something else you will wish you had.\nLove yourself and what you have and appreciate what you have been given.
