A life without direction is like a car careening down the highway without anyone driving. Sure, you could do it, but it can be dangerous to yourselves and others. I've personally been affected by people that have lost direction, and affected others negatively whenever I've been without direction.
For those seeking a reason to why we exist, there is no better reason than to love. Trying to get us off of the planet and explore the universe is love. Taking care of the homeless and hungry is love. Saving some animal species is love. Having dinner with a neighbor and listening to them tell their stories is love. Doing your best at your job to help others grow is love. Calling a family member or friend to see how they are doing is love.
Personally, I believe in loving others and loving my God and trying to do the best I can with what I have. That's my meaning and that's the real truth for me, and it could be for a number of people.

Again, for YOU. Don't project your desires and need for purpose onto others and presume we're all like you. YOU think there is no better reason than love, that doesn't make it true for everyone. YOU have a need to understand why, some of us have no such need because we recognize the question is invalid, there is no WHY because that presumes purpose which doesn't exist objectively, only subjectively. The meaning is always subjective, your reasons are not my reasons and you're speaking as if it is, as if all people need such things and that's simply not the case.
My point is, don't tell people what the meaning of life is because you're going to be wrong; that's YOUR meaning for YOUR life and that's it.
