Wow, big question, huh? I've decided that this question has been one of the most enlightening to answer, and I hope I can translate it into this very blog post. We as humans wish to know so much about what we cannot comprehend, and this often makes people afraid or worried about it. But from answering this question, it's like a light has just turned on in my head.
So, what is the meaning of life? Why live on this Earth? To me, the answer is different for every individual alive, so therefore I can only give you my personal answer, of which is divided into several parts. The primary meaning though, I believe, is to experience. Experiencing something new is a valuable moment in our lives. When you complete an action, it is only ever significant the very moment you do it, therefore you should savour a new experience. For example, smelling a new scent, feeling a new emotion, skydiving, spiritual awakenings, religious journeys etc. I believe that your life is in your hands. It's your responsibility to live it the way you choose. Whether that's simply completing a personal challenge like skydiving, or choosing a religious or spiritual path to go down.
The meaning of life is to trust in what you believe is right, do what you want to do, love who you want to love, go where you want to go, see what you want to see, discover what you want to discover. Believe in whatever you think is the truth.
Also included is what I like to call, "The Ups and Downs of Life". Life is about experiencing all the advantages and disadvantages of being a human, that will eventually better you as a person. "The Ups and Downs of Life" strengthen you and enable you to be ready for the next thing that tries to knock you off your feet.
To discover yourself is another aspect, but I'll touch on that matter at a later stage. For now, this is a short answer of what I believe is the meaning of life.
