There is, and in my opinion can be, no objective "meaning of life." Meaning, in the sense in which the term is used here, is wholly and necessarily subjective, so whatever "meaning" any individual might perceive in life is simply the "meaning" that that individual perceives in life.
The mistake that people make regarding the meaning of life isn't in looking for it, but in looking for it in the wrong places. They look outside, to other people or to the universe itself, and never find it. If they were to instead look inside, they'd find that it's already there, whatever it might be for them.
