I thought it was pretty much accepted that the purpose of life was to be as happy as you can be in the limited time you have.
You of course, have to balance this against everyone else's needs and happiness because you being happy could very well mean someone else in the world being sad.
There's also other meanings to life, such as the route of trying to make the world 'a better place,' reconciling yourself with eventual dissolution and the question of God, whether there's a greater purpose to it all etc.
