What is Life?

There is a growing percentage of poeple thinking about the meaning of life, yet, its unclear to most how they want to live their life in a meaningful way. How you want to spend your life? And what life means to you?

Life is like a candle.
It burns, burns and burns and gives lights to others,
And goes down and down until finished,
And leaves a good example in world.
Life goes down and down every second.
Are we giving light to others?
Are we leaving good examples?
Are we leaving a bright name

Lol Meaningfully 
Avoiding 'Poverty or Worse'
Take a trip 45 minutes out of Panama City to the seaside community of Coronado, and Panama's appeal becomes obvious. Fred Morris, a retired minister, and Ron Davidson, a former computer programmer, take a spin in a golf cart at sunset. Davidson and his wife have just built a three-bedroom home that backs onto a PGA-certified golf course. The beach is a few blocks away, the club swimming pool is just down the street, so are the riding stables.
In Florida, this gated-community lifestyle would be within reach only for millionaires, but here the mathematics are very different.

A meaning life just can be created by plan. Being born is very precious thing. I always tell myself that. Maybe people haven't found which inspire them yet that is why they are still looking for the words" meaningful life". I believe interests can lead to the meaningful life.
Doing what I am interested makes me so happy. I have a big habit that if there is something I like, I will do it always to make me bored If I can not be bored with it, it means that it is my interest.
Last time meeting my friend said to me that he is bored and passed his time by working hard and that was why he hasn't met me for many days. I know if we don't do anything we will continue being bored. But I usually stand that feeling instead of concentrating to make something else. I know that at that time, I can open my books, and surely I will not feel bored but I don't. I just lie on the table. They are nonsensical days.
However it is, I know I have many plans in front of and all of them will make my life meaningful if I am pleased. That's all.

Here's an offering of incubating thoughts exploring what life is, while living:
What is The Faculty of Living?
The Faculty of Living is where and when all human experience, knowledge, sciences and faculties meet up in the assembling of one another's relativity and proximity, into the settlement of life's essence or as it is known to Christianity, eternal life.
It is the point of connectivity for resolution, reconciliation and completion from the invisible to the materialization of intelligence in justice, peace and joy of the human spirit, once freed from the domination of the soul.
Mission Statement
The Faculty of Living’s mission is to research, while developing, the residential dwelling that can house the lifetime personal growth, with the constant access to give or to receive communal support.

...and then...
...exploring "tthe potency of meaning?" which offers a view of relating within relevancy:

Only a few draw up the meanings we have around and taking the meaning of life from the priviledged angle is very unfair,unfair to the majority of the people who have their perspective of life.May be when we get the opportunities so measured out,the true meaning would emerge.Each must take his bite,chew it and know if it is green,red and black.

I believe interests can lead to the meaningful life. I totally agree and I appreciate your advice. A meaningful life is one where you do what you enjoy. So the trick to living a meaningful life is to find what you enjoy doing, and do it.
This is hard for me because I enjoy many different things, but there isn't any particular thing that I enjoy a lot. A meaningful life for me is one where I can travel to many countries, experience different cultures and ideas, meet many different people, and still fulfill the expectations of my family and society.

Devoting is my target of life. I will work until I am 50.After that I will concentrate on charity.
Life is something I feel that I can not live for my own, but for other people. It is interesting to think about great people do our life.

 to me life is being able to have something to do, being able to love someone,being able to know that some people apriciate what you are doing, being able to uplift some peoples lives who are unfortunate than yourself.... but most importantly life to me is living in a way that i know that there is more after this life.... am a believer of eternal life and life after death. so to me life is being good and living happily ever after..

I somehow share similar sentiments expressed in the definition of life by "incubating thoughts".
I will say that "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
I always say to myself, DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO. That I think is the essence of a meaningful life.
Letting your life radiate the glory of God is supreme.
