The question presupposes intrinsicism, which is incorrect metaphysics.
Life has no intrinsic meaning; it just is what it is (a process of
self-generated, self-sustaining action).  Meaning results from a human
attempt to explain one phenomenon in terms of others.  If you can find
meaning in life, more power to you.

Ok, we've answered your question.  Your turn.
