It differs from person to person, but for me it's to do humany things like get a basic education, make friends, have a crush on somebody, have a pretty ok childhood, work some low paying low stress jobs, get a driver's license and drive around, spend time enjoying the company of family, experience the ecstasy of religion for a bit, do the college thing with dorm rooms and what not, have some fun with a girlfriend or boyfriend, travel around a bit, get a good paying job, find a life partner, buy a house, have and raise kids, become a grandparent, enjoy the company of family, do some hobbies, retire, get frustrated by a deteriorating body, learn to appreciate being young and healthy more than when you were young, try to live to forever but don't stress it too much because it's a tall task, and experience the ups and downs of life but have an overall ok life with quite a few enjoyable and pleasant experiences.

As cheesy as it sounds, it's only as meaningful as you make it to be. I don't believe in a greater purpose. I have a few dreams that are worth chasing. I will chase them, and I will spend time with my loved ones and enjoy my life while it lasts. We happen to have emotions, might as well experience them as much as we can before we no longer can.

Consciousness is the word you're looking for perhaps?
