I think there is no general meaning of life. You can create your own meaning really. There does not need to be any type of written end goal for human beings. Think about what you live for everyday or what you want out of your life, and there you have it. That is your meaning of life.

Some people strive to be great philosophers and gain worldly knowledge to pass on and create a legacy while others live for the weekend parties at some club.

Your personal quest could be to find the meaning of life which could very well be the meaning to your life if you let it.
