It's all about you and what you want for yourself. What makes you happiest in life? What career do you want to pursue? What do you want to do with your life? Finding the meaning to your life is based off of the things you want and your interests.

Life is never pointless according to me! Life just needs to be taken positively because we know one thing "we got this one life only to love,we don't know what will happen afterlife ,so my life Is to live and I would do the same"! But some or the other day ,there is atleast one thing happening that may make us feel that we are not liable of living.we should die. But seeing to this issue,we should feel more excited to live because whatever problems have come they have made us immune to them and We can live more better. My favourite author has said " teenagers can never die.they are like all energies which can never be created nor destroyed.they change their shapes..manifestations. They are inevitable .and we are inevitable . we are real heroes and so life of us is no more than of a superhero.so love your life ". :)

That's such a big question and no one I've met has a succinct answer that covers any given scenario. All I've discovered is that serving another person in some way, however small, can change the way we feel about the world. It doesn't require thought, just a little action.

You can find meaning in your life if you find something that you really love or care about and stick to it. If you do an activity, for example, that you'll really enjoy, then you will find that it gives you some purpose, because of the joy it gives you and if you're good at it. If you take care of a pet, then you also gain a sense of purpose, because you have to care for it and love it.

Think about the things that make you happy. Write them down if that makes it easier. Then think about ways you can apply those things in your life.
