The meaning of life is … Unique .. and personal … to each and every person
However … there are a few core ingredients …. and some unique ones
The proportions ….. and exact recipe varies

Furthermore
‘The meaning’ evolves over time, and different situations, for each person ..
and
also
can become more nuanced … and insightful ….. through reflection, experience ……
and
working at it ….
both self-study and through personal exploration
…. and coaching

Part of the core ingredients are
daily and moment by moment(s) of ‘personal’ joy, satisfaction, meaning and happiness (Ichi-go Ichi-e)
ongoing ‘personal’ growth (after all we are ‘organic’ brings, that not only survive - need air, sunlight, water and food … shelter … but also continuing ‘growth’ ….. like any plant or tree ! …… to keep stretching upwards and sideways ……. as long as we are ‘alive’ !! There are as many happy and healthy flourishing trees in a forest, every one different ,… as there are unique people !!! ) find and live your Ikigai (at the intersection of what you enjoy doing, are good at (find easy to do and become good at, and work at, as lifelong pursuits, yes pleural …..), what the world needs, and will ‘pay’ you for …. hire you for (to get a job done) or simply pay attention to you !

There is no generic one size fit all answer to the question ? Is the meaning of life …
There is however one personal answer, for ‘each’ unique person, that is, and feels right, for each moment.

Life is a marathon …
best run at a sustainable personalised pace, on a regular cumulative basis, taken one step at a time, sprinting periodically, expending effort and focus customised to a level of performance aimed for (aspirations unique to each life traveler - basically knowing where the finish point for each day is!), having an acute awareness of personal milestones (both daily and seasonal), pausing for regular rest, recovery and renewal to go far, in order to have a happy joyful journey.

"... we work to live, and live to work, ... are capable of finding meaning, satisfaction and pride in almost any job ... .... the work we do also defines who we are, determines our future prospects, dictates where and with whom we spend most of our time, mediates our sense of self-worth, moulds many of our values and orients our political loyalties." quoted from Introduction: The Economic Problem, in Work - A History of How We Spend Our Time by James Suzman
