I was just reading Joseph Campbell. He says that the meaning of life is to experience the "rapture of being alive". He taught that we shouldn't seek a universal meaning for life, but instead bring our own meaning to it through personal choices, authenticity, and actively following our bliss.
I haven't yet processed exactly what Mr. Campbell was saying, but I think I like it.

If I had to choose one universal meaning for life it would be the pursuit of actively (as much you can) making the lives of those around you, family, friends and strangers alike, better.
