what does life mean to you?please share your thoughts abaut that
Woody Allen had a great comment in one of his movies. Two old ladies are in a retirement home, and the first begins to complain about everything that's wrong with the food. This is too spicy, that is too bland, that isn't hot enough, the complaints go on. Her friend chimes in, "and the portions are so small." With all the things that are wrong with life, we just don't get enough of it.
As for meaning, I don't know that it has or requires meaning. It just is. Any meaning that one's life has, has been given to it, is an acquired property.

I make myself useful. When people need me, then my life has more meaning.
to love and serve God and to love people.
Matthew 22: 37-40 (NLT)
Jesus replied, "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."

Life's main goal is not to die and live a good living life
"...and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, because there's bugger all down here on earth" They had a lot of good songs in that movie.

This isn't life
From my perspective God said in the Quran:
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
Showing that this life isn't life in itself but just an exam for the actual life.
But if we refer to this current exam as the question you asked, it is an exam, an exam where we must obey God and worship him and do good and avoid bad, although even that life is an exam, it doesn't stop us from enjoying life
Following the middle path is a virtue
In my religion Islam one shouldn't spend all his life without enjoying it, and shouldn't also enjoy it and forget the true meaning of it
In other words moderation
So in summary for me the meaning of life is first working for heaven first place, then enjoying life with family both laments and your own children
Again this is my perspective aka the religious one, I am not imposing it on anyone, I am pretty sure some people will start saying I am imposing it... so better warning lol
