I think the meaning of life is what an individual person wants it to mean. People have their own definition of the meaning of life because different people have different goals and dreams that they want to pursue.
Some people know what they want to do for the rest of their life. Some people just want to have a family and work to support them. They want to live their life free of any big stress and just live their life. They want to spend time with family and just have the simple life that many don't have, but strive to have.
Some people have really big dreams. Maybe they want to be a famous artist, a famous journalist, a famous photographer, and so on. They want their name to be known. No one has the right to tell them that they can't do it. Anyone can do anything as long as they work to try to pursue it. Me, for example, I want to get into the music industry. Yes, it's a pretty big dream, well for me anyway. And yes, people have told me that it's a one in a million chance. That's probably true. Yes, I will have a back up plan in case it doesn't happen. But I don't think that anyone has the right to tell me that I can't do what I want to do because people should make their own life. If a person is really passionate about achieving their dream, they would not let rejection get in the way. There will always be rejection, but people have to get back on their feet to get where they want to get.
So I believe that people have their own definition of the meaning of life. Some might just say that it's living your life to the fullest and dying happy. Some might say that there's not real meaning, it's an experience and a privilege that we all have.
Don't take life for granted because we only live once. Don't let teachers tell you how to be successful because, depending on a person, success can mean a million different things. Don't let the negativity get in the way of creating your own path to success.
