Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? I'm sure we all have our own ideas, along with our own goals and achievements of how we perceive life as a whole. Were we put here merely to make money, i.e. attend school so we may be educated enough to find a job that we may keep until we retire. Or were we put here to look after our fellow collegues. Maybe we were put on this Earth to try and achieve the best we can. Maybe both of these together. Each and everyone of us has their own opinion.

Each and every individual has his/her own definition for his/her own life. The definition may or may not be common for all individuals. The right way to live a life according to me is not to follow others and instead follow your own set of principles. There should be some set of objectives and goals which makes the life meaningful. The objectives may vary from person to person. If a person does not have any objectives or goals, then he is heading in a wrong direction.

I believe that life is a tough obstacle in itself. I also believe that we were put here to survive and do as best we can through all of life's troubles that are thrown at us and also to enjoy the good times that come, take nothing for granted and appreciate life itself.
