There is no inherent meaning to life, and this notion shouldn't even exist. If one were to find a definitive meaning, they would be trapped into that definition. The ultimate truth lies in the freedom to explore and exercise free will.

Be self-driven with the "I’ll figure it out no matter what I do, and how tough things get" mindset and everything will seem viable. While optimism is good, realism adds balance. Like a guitar string, not too loose, or tight. It creates harmony. Be a rational optimist.
