Look for your meaning... example to be happy, how to be happy? Do what to be happy? tats the meaning.. Look for it.. look for your meaning.. and thats life... If u don't get your meaning of life.. your life will always be miserable... but if your do found your meaning for life, it will be your enerygy and drive.

life itself has no meaning....
u urself put a meaning to it... -
If I know the "Meaning of Life", trust me I would
be writting my own book ( which wld definitely
be a best seller cos who doesnt wanna noe the
true meaning of life ) and ( I definitely would like
to share it cos basically I aint too selfish a person)
I would be like rich, a mega-celebrity, have my
own talk-show ( move aside Opriah) and not
be who I am today.

In my opinion, no such thing as
the meaning of life la!
sorry to break ur heart. If u
ever find it, dnt forget to share
wi me k!
Its how u live ur life that counts! -
I guess the only meaning to life is what you can make out of it..
To me, I believe in working hard (and smart) to secure the best available re$ource$ for your family/next generation...
It sounds simplistic I guess, but for me that's what working hard is for...
Of course, getting to lead a comfortable retirement is in my dream list but that is only a secondary as long as my family does.. -
Looking for the meaning in life like Solomon did? Look no further...He was the wealthiest king who had everything from 300 wives to 700 concubines and all the wisdom in the world. After he strayed away from his Creator he came to a conclusion to his life as presented in the book of Ecclesiastes.
ECC 1:1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:
ECC 1:2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
ECC 1:3 What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?
ECC 1:12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
ECC 2:17 So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
ECC 2:4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. 5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well--the delights of the heart of man. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
ECC 2:10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my work,
and this was the reward for all my labor.
ECC 2:11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.
Conclusion
=========
ECC 12:13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
ECC 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
So the final thing about living life is to live it out abundantly for God. Abundance and eventual satisfaction is not found in what you possess but rather, your purpose and meaning in living this life.

the end is all the same.....same destination,same last stop,same terminal....
it is the journey there.....the views, the seat u choose,the words u said,the people u said it to. -

meaning of life....
to each and one perspective....
but i guess...ultimately..
u can only derived it when u are dying.
and u ask urself... have i really lived? and leave w/o any regrets.. if all the answers are yes.. then perhaps u found ur meaning.
Every man dies..but nt every man lives. -
A wise man would answer:
-'I don't know' . -
The true meaning of life is to live your righteous life to the fullest to the best of your abilities before it expires. Steady?Originally posted by welcome2hell:any one wanna tell me what is the true meaning of life?
Money, sex, happiness?
So that you are answerable to yourself and GOD when you meet HIM.
