What is The Meaning of Life?

I have pondered this question many times, what the meaning of my life is, and invariably, I always come up with a different answer, depending on where I am currently at in this lifetime. I personally believe, that we are all here in this physical form as humans, to achieve something of great value, not only for ourselves, but those with whom we decided to have a part of our lives. This would include our family members, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, people we may meet online, and even those that we may encounter for a brief moment.

Throughout my life I have met various people, some who are simple minded and enjoy the little things in life, and others who are always searching for more, a new understanding about oneself and life. When I come in contact with these individuals I tend to ask myself "What I learn from them? What piece of information are they about to share, that I can take with me in this journey of life?" I believe that every one we come in contact with has something to offer, and with their ideas or opinions, can help you gain insight into your own life and purpose.
As for the rest of my life, I am still searching and trying to make sense of it all. I remember someone told me that we human are non-physical beings, and that we come here to earth in physical form for the experience. That each time we come here, our image has changed so that we can see what it is like to experience things from different perspectives. If this is true, I can understand why some or childless, poor, rich, criminals etc. This concept offered me a new way to think about things and the meaning it may hold, even though it left me asking a lot of questions to.

What it all boils down to is, the meaning of life is what you tell yourself it is. Each one of us has a different purpose; some are more clear of this earlier on in life then others. Only you can give your life "true" meaning and value, others may help add to it and offer more inspiration but the ultimate decision is yours.
