By looking outward and helping others...being kind, being the best you can be. In the end, the degree of meaning in your life equals the degree of service you've been to others.

If at first you dont suck seed edit the question to maximise points...

Be true to yourself..and everything else falls in place. Have a really good day gt!

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity. The only life that matters is one where you establish knowledge of, and a relationship with, our creator, Jehovah.

Treat others as you would wish to be treated. I've found the results, in all sorts of areas of life, can be surprising.

by filling it up with things that matter to you.

By making "awaken" into a top priority. That starts with understanding what it means to be sleeping through your life. What does it mean to be asleep? - Operating on "autopilot".... allowing your conditioning and habits to take over and handle everything, requiring no conscious attention. - Accepting your beliefs without question, never challenging what you've been taught by others, never doing your own thinking. - Allowing life to just drift along from day to day, without purpose... not taking responsibility for the different areas of your life. - Getting "stuck": finding a spot that's comfortable and staying with it as the years roll by, not challenging yourself to make the most of each day. - Being self-preoccupied: concerned only with your own wants and needs, fears and hopes... allowing egocentrism to dominate all areas of your life... not trying to reach out and embrace others and extend your concerns to include their suffering. - Trying to control life: the only way to control life is to reduce it's scope to a trivial territory -- to narrow the box within which you live to the point that you can supervise and manage every corner of it. Life is inherently uncontrollable if you're really living. To disrupt all the various forms of "asleepness" requires ongoing effort and initiative. You have to see that we're sort of "wired up" to go to sleep in life -- it's easy to do: comfortable, convenient... just relax into the narcosis of our own conditioning and concepts. So the only people who get to have a life that matters are those willing to bring a certain discipline to life, day after day -- disrupting the self-centered dream to realize and express the Whole.

Live well, love much, don't sweat the petty stuff. Make memories everyday. Life is a journey always worth taking. It's the little moments that make life grand.

Well, great. Rosie took my answer! She must be a good person. Kindness. You don't hear that word much anymore, unless you hang out with me. Help other people who have less than you. Everyone should do that as second nature. (By less, it does not necessarily have to be money...) Always stick up for someone being bullied. Don't turn away, if you see someone being mean to kids or animals. Ask- do I feel comfortable about who I am? Do I have to lie about my actions or intentions, in order for people to think good about me? DO YOU LIE TO YOURSELF?

Life will matter when you believe in something. Once you believe in something, you'll make things happen. Once you make things happen it will send a chain reaction to the people you encounter everyday...then...they will spread the word or tell your good deed or help. Others will hear and join. You will feel good about what you did or said, and others will feel good about what you did or said. That is when life matters. When you believe, others believe.

With compassion, love and generosity

By leading a meaningful life full of love and doing the things that enriches and make you happy.
