The short answer is that God made you for a purpose. Really this is way too big a question to answer here.  Look at "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. (If you really want to know)

Man's chief purpose is to love GOD and to thoroughly enjoy HIM.\n\nSecond is to love and serve others as we love ourself.\n\n'nuff said

I think we all have a purpose in life. Life is an opportunity to improve the human race. We all have a chance to revolutionize the world. We can live life while making others have a hard time living theirs or we can help others enjoy life as well.  I think everyone lives for other people they care about. Anyone who lives for only themselves is just sick. Who said life is just one great vacation. Problems come with the package. Humans need to talk about their issues. If we don't , all of us would be angry people. How can we enjoy life like that?

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\nAs human beings, we all ask the question: Who am I? Who am I meant to become? What is my value or destiny as a human being? Who will become for me the model of my humanity? Pope John Paul II told us that ultimately JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER to these questions. Christ is the living blueprint and pattern for our humanity. Jesus Christ reveals our meaning to us.\n\nThus Pope John Paul II, quoting Vatican II in his Redeemer of the Human Race, wrote: "Christ...fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling." "In Christ and through Christ," the pope added, all are enabled to come to "full awareness of their dignity...and of the meaning of their existence."\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.

There is no "meaning of life".  The concept of meaning is a language tool which has no given purpose.  However, knowing that words have meaning allows people to dream up meaning for themselves and pursue it as their own identity, and convince themselves through daily affirmations that the universe had given it to them.

Essentially, there is no purpose to anything, life included. We are nothing more than just a collection of particles, a result of the laws of probability. And we will be nothing more than just a bunch of particles when we are gone. Not one action of ours affects the universe or its course. Not one action of ours bears any significance. In the end, all is pointless which gives us the power of absolute responsibility. We give life our own meaning; we have to, otherwise we wouldn't exist. This poistion of having the choice of life's meaning implies that all responsibility is in our hands; we create our own reality, we are the reason why the world looks the way it does. And only we can change it, if we want to. \n\nAs for accidents, returning to the initial argument concerning the particles, all particles have momentum, i.e. a mass and a velocity (which means speed and a direction). Hence, on a theoretical level that can never be reached, the movement of all particles can be predicted. Thus, all future can be predicted and so, essentially, life and all existance (the universe included) is pre-determined, even though we can never know how and by no means can this serve as an excuse. In the end, life is just life, nothing more, nothing less. We have to make it more nonetheless, as we need to have a reason to exist in order to exist.

You are living the the things you do are the purpose. If you do good things you are doing a real purpose by being on earth. everyone has a purpose here.

Obviously each person needs to find that out for themselves.  The only place to find one's purpose is in oneself.\n\nIf you're looking for a popular answer, "To leave the world better off than when you entered it."
